CSLP Call for Volunteers
The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is seeking applicants for the Artwork Committee! This committee will consist of 8-12 people, including CSLP state representatives and frontline librarians, who can evaluate and offer thoughtful criticism of sketches. Committee members will be expected to look at sketches for program year 2023 (theme: friendship and kindness; slogan: All Together Now; artist: Frank Morrison), evaluate them from a culturally authentic viewpoint, and provide constructive criticism to ensure posters and spot art are inclusive and reflective of the diverse communities we serve. The committee will first meet in late May 2021 and will complete their work in January 2022. Committee responsibilities include receiving drafts of sketches from the artist, reviewing the sketches, meeting with the committee to discuss impressions and thoughts, and providing feedback to the artist. If you are interested in being considered, please complete the Artwork Committee application<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeNig3tqtujZVXlUlhjRJYXwdaxM90VRKOijGdXvHOoYHHh7Q/viewform> by May 10.

Bringing "Talk: Text and Learn for Kindergarten" to Your Library<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=397>
Tuesday, May 25, 2021
2:00 PM ET
"TALK: Text and Learn for Kindergarten" is an early literacy text messaging service launched by Ypsilanti District Library and partners, with LSTA grant funding. This program will allow libraries across Michigan to text families with activities to do with children 5 and under to prepare them for school and beyond. Libraries will also be able to use the program to promote events and collections to families with young children and get tips for building community partnerships for early literacy. Find out more about this project that will be available for public libraries to implement starting this Fall, with IMLS National Leadership funding.
This webinar will be recorded and shared with registrants. It is brought to you by the Library of Michigan and Ypsilanti District Library, with support in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
The Zoom link will be emailed to registered attendees the day before the webinar.

PCI Webinars
Wednesday, May 26, 2021
2:00 - 3:30 PM ET
This interactive and informative 90-minute webinar will introduce emerging practices, fundamental methods, and knowledge to empower library staff to:

  *   incorporate children, youth, and family programming during the COVID-19 pandemic challenge,
  *   design, implement, and assess programs, including the use of take-home kits,
  *   reinvent their role with customers,
  *   strengthen collaborations among peers and community partners,
  *   help make the library a magnet drawing people into a realm to elevate an individual's capacity for learning, discovering excellence, and contributing to life no matter the challenge.
An emphasis will be placed on virtual programming, however, examples of all program types - virtual, outdoor, in-person, and hybrid (in-person and virtual) - will be used for all sizes of libraries, budgets, and ambition.
This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.
