Katie Scherrer PO Box 4181 Lexington, KY 40544 katie at connectedcommunitiesconsulting.com www.connectedcommunitiesconsulting.com She's the co-author of a book called Once Upon a Cuento: Bilingual Storytime in English and Spanish, published by ALA. I would love to link you to her webinar in our archives, but it's in a private folder now (and I can't figure out how to share it on our new platform). If you would like to see it, I could upload the video vile to FileShare for you. However, she also held a later webinar with Webjunction: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/before-bilingual-storytime.html I really enjoyed working and speaking with her, and she's very knowledgeable about both bilingual storytimes and engaging Latino populations. Also, she had excellent references from past work. I would have loved to use her again for a workshop series, so that she could further expand on the topic (since it definitely needs more than just a webinar). I just haven't had the funding and opportunity to do so, since other workshop topics took priority.

It has been some time since I was in her shoes and investigating similar options. I believe Goodreads has a private group feature, but have not tried lately. I also suggested using the library's own website to run the club through a blog, or to investigate free online platforms that are popular with schools to connect with students: My library is trying to get a teen online book club up and running. We've started a Goodreads account and group, but we're concerned about online safety. Namely, adults using it as a means to connect with underage teens inappropriately. I know that when you're online, it is nearly impossible monitor every interaction, or screen every user in hopes of removing a problematic individual, but we want to make sure we're doing everything we can to set it up safely. Is anyone else using Goodreads for their teens, or have any advice for safety protocols we could take? Thanks in advance for the help and suggestions. Hope everyone is staying safe and warm on this wild winter weather morning!

The work is focused on educating everyone from schools, to policy makers, and various community organizations on issues such as toxic stress and trauma and the impact that can have on the first five years of life. The goal is to provide increased community support and points of contacts for parents and caregivers to turn to in times of crisis in order to build healthier communities and more resilient families.

While I have made a lot of contacts and finally beginning to see some fruit from the relationships, I will say it has been a very slow march to progress.

On another note, for Krista (and anyone else wanting to provide some training about trauma and toxic stress): Have you heard of the Brain Architecture Game? We had two Strengthening Families facilitators come to our Read to Me training in November to do this with about 80 school and public library staff. It was fun, but really helped our folks understand the effects of toxic stress, and how positive adult relationships can help support young children who have encountered adverse experiences.

It?s been a very disrupted several weeks with days off for vacation and bad weather. I know we had a discussion about this last August because we posted some of the links to family engagement brochures that some of our states had developed in collaboration with our DOEs, like Carrie?s from Maryland, and the one I worked on with my state?s DOE. It was done in preparation for the family engagement session for the YSCon monthly meeting last August 31st. Here?s the link to all the resources we posted in a Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z5J5a--9r1Ol_VcWx219j3OkVq07kpRESzR60w8zg5I/edit?usp=sharing To address your question about how to approach them to include libraries, I?ve been lucky enough that they contacted me to be included in the discussion. It?s taken years to get to this point. I started by inviting the State Director of our Head Start Collaboration Office to lunch years ago and we?ve been working together since. She introduced me to her contacts at our DOE and I offered to work with them as well. I?ve also shared the Public Libraries: A Vital Space for Family Engagement publication with them. Aside for the family engagement brochure, our group hasn?t met in a few months but I?m hoping we?ll do so soon. Since we have a statewide listserv for youth services librarians, I can send out resources from the DOE to the library staff. We?ve also exhibited or presented at each other?s conferences. ~Sharon Best regards, Sharon Rawlins, MLS Youth Services Specialist for Lifelong Learning NJ State Library 185 West State St. P.O.

We provide this for every legally established public library in our state. Some do not use it, due to space and other reasons, but many libraries use it often. It is pricey for us, and they have to check to be sure the movie they want to show is included in the license. I have had librarians tell me that this was a great fallback for an unexpected need such as the performer didn?t show up, ?no school? days where plenty of kids show up at the library (ya-hoo!) and planned programs for kids, teens and families. I have said to our director that if the motion picture license is ever in doubt, I will forego offering grants as the license affects so many more libraries.

It is wildly popular in the schools: http://tntel.tnsos.org/ We also provide free ebooks and audiobooks through our R.E.A.D.S. program: https://reads.overdrive.com/library/teens and https://reads.overdrive.com/library/kids Anyone with a public library card can access READS, and many school systems across the state are setting up ecards for their students (though that hasn?t spread state wide yet ? we?re working on it!). And I am starting a Teen Tech Week Scavenger Hunt this year for public library teen advisory boards to compete in. Any library?s TAB can participate; they will compete to photograph/video the different Scavenger Hunt items I provide, and after a week, the team with the most points wins a $500 MakerSpace Kit. It?s my first time, so I will see how well this goes in March. I hope it will be popular enough that I can continue it each year.

I want to echo what others have said about training and add that we also facilitate communities of practice through the Children?s Services Round Table and Young Adult Round Table. Our state library association does not have a youth division, so these round tables are the only opportunity for youth services staff to get together to collaborate. There is no money behind the round tables (other than my time and the occasional presenter), yet they remain one of our most valuable statewide offerings. I?m not sure if this falls in to the category of a statewide service as it is a reading program, but Kids Reading Across RI (KRARI) is one of the best things we do. We partner with the RI Center for the Book and have a committee of public and school librarians who select the KRARI book each year. (The 2018 book is The First Rule of Punk!) We distribute copies of the book to schools and public libraries for book discussions and we produce a discussion/activity guide that teachers and librarians can use. The author comes to RI for a big kickoff event in May, and we also arrange for public libraries in underserved areas to have enrichment activities based on the book throughout the summer. ******************* Danielle Margarida, Youth Services Coordinator Office of Library & Information Services Rhode Island Department of Administration One Capitol Hill | Providence, RI 02908-5803 401.574.9309 (voice) | 401.574.9320 (fax) | www.olis.ri.gov [veclogo-2018] From: yscon [mailto:yscon-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Yates, Beth Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2018 10:34 AM To: YSCon Subject: [EXTERNAL] : Re: [yscon] [External] Re: Best Statewide Project Hello, all!

The last thing that the State Library tried to implement statewide (online summer reading) was a massive fail and it?s left a bad taste in a lot of people?s mouths. So choosing to participate in something is the way we?ll need to go for now at least.

This may sound like a very random and general question, but our state has a history of putting a lot of funding into subgrants. As a result, we don?t have many statewide projects, but in the future, we may be interested in cutting back on some of the grants and using the excess funds towards more statewide projects. I?ve been asked to consider where I might want to put the funding, if we pulled back some of the funding for summer reading grants, and to be honest, I?m not even sure what the possibilities are. I?m going to consider unique possibilities, but I would also be interested in hearing what?s already in place and working well in other states.

Here's my two cents... ODL purchases bookmarks, posters, stickers, reading logs and certificates, manuals for all participating Oklahoma public and tribal libraries. They have to fill out a Survey Monkey form each year with their quantities and I send the file to Upstart who direct ships them to the libraries. We also pay for their CSLP membership. All of this is from IMLS/LSTA. As for the Performers Showcase, the performers pay us to be in front of librarians. They have the option of 8 minutes ($100), or 4 minutes ($50) an info table and a listing in the Directory. For $35 they can have an Info table and a listing in the Directory. $25 is Directory Ad only. There is no cost for librarians to attend. We video conference the showcase to available libraries across Oklahoma. The reason we charge the performers is that they stand to make it back and then some with bookings. Librarians who are at the Showcase site are strongly encouraged to bring their calendars and start booking the performers then and there. The Showcase site is in Stillwater. It has an auditorium on the second floor, a smaller auditorium on the first floor which we put the Info tables, and room for lunch for everyone. It's centrally located but still librarians cannot always travel. We do not have video conference sites within one hour of Stillwater otherwise everyone would video conference and not attend in person. We are looking at switching from video conference to live streaming to reach school librarians who have an even worse time getting travel approval. The money from the performers pays for lunch for all attendees and performers at the Showcase site, breakfast and afternoon snacks, and prize giveaway. The money is kept by the Oklahoma Library Association.

The whole process of selecting, booking, and paying the performers is a very convoluted process involving applications, a showcase, a booking meeting, and lots and lots of paperwork on my end. I've streamlined the process quite a bit over the past two years, but it is very time consuming and I'm doubtful of the impact it has on the summer reading program. Because we only pay $160 per program we do not get a variety of (nor high quality) performers willing to participate. Attendance numbers for these performances has been steadily declining, and every year I field complaints from directors regarding the performers that are selected. (Directors want performers that can draw/accommodate large crowds, but we can't get these types of performers because of the low $160 rate). The Youth Services Advisory Council is responsible for reviewing applications and selecting performers, however I am the middle man dealing with performers, helping libraries/performers book their programs, and maintaining a calendar of all performances throughout the state. I would really like to stop providing the performers showcase and paying for performers. It takes a lot of time to coordinate and prevents me from working on other projects that I think would be more meaningful (such as offering more training on summer learning, building more online SRP resources, etc.) And while I don't make the performer selections, it does appear that our agency is promoting a specific group of performers over another - something I'm not very comfortable with. This year I had to deal with an aggressive performer who was not selected, and we had to involve our legal department. All of this is to ask - do you have something you do to support SRP that works really well? I have supervisor support to discontinue the performers showcase, but I need to provide something in its place. I'm getting too wrapped up in my own head and would appreciate hearing what's working for you, or if you have experience in making a big change (the showcase is a decades old institution and I'm a bit nervous about the blowback!) I am planning on sending out surveys and holding a forum to gather input from librarians, too. Thank you! Also, we may already be getting an online reading program through our partnership with our state's grade level reading campaign, so I'm looking for something other than providing a service like Wandoo Reader or Beanstack. ******************* Danielle Margarida, Youth Services Coordinator Office of Library & Information Services Rhode Island Department of Administration One Capitol Hill | Providence, RI 02908-5803 401.574.9309 (voice) | 401.574.9320 (fax) | www.olis.ri.gov [veclogo-2018] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Any that you've used that would be willing to travel to Oklahoma? I am looking at having the workshops at the end of February, early March. It will be five locations across Oklahoma. You can find the bid here in green font, http://wiki.cya.oklibshare.org/index.php?title=Main_Page. My librarians are still very face-to-face oriented with the expectation of examples and ideas for activities and programs. I am seriously considering video conferencing so I don't have to travel as much but probably not this year. Another idea is to make video but Oklahoma state law requires all videos to be closed-captioned. This is an unfunded mandate, of course. Any suggestions for artists would be most helpful.

I always get many ideas from you all. Here in CO, our Check Out Colorado State Parks program has been very successful. We provided 2 backpacks to every public library branch, military library, and interested publicly funded academic library to circulate. Each sturdy backpack includes binoculars, Leave No Trace outdoor ethics card, state parks brochure, 2 laminated field guides (CO wildlife and CO trees and wildflowers), and the main item?a state park pass good for any of our 41 state parks (see the backpack and contents at http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdelib/checkoutcoloradobackpackphotot). Patrons can check out the backpack for a week at a time. It began in June 2016; it was a lot of work to start up but the ongoing maintenance level and costs are very small for us. Library staff and patrons love it, along with our state parks partners. A survey of both patrons and library staff shows its success: http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdelib/checkoutcolorado2016infographic. It?s also led to several other valuable state level partnerships for us with organizations focused on outdoor activities. Several other states have a similar program (thanks to GA for helping us start ours!).

I want to echo what others have said about training and add that we also facilitate communities of practice through the Children?s Services Round Table and Young Adult Round Table. Our state library association does not have a youth division, so these round tables are the only opportunity for youth services staff to get together to collaborate. There is no money behind the round tables (other than my time and the occasional presenter), yet they remain one of our most valuable statewide offerings. I?m not sure if this falls in to the category of a statewide service as it is a reading program, but Kids Reading Across RI (KRARI) is one of the best things we do. We partner with the RI Center for the Book and have a committee of public and school librarians who select the KRARI book each year. (The 2018 book is The First Rule of Punk!) We distribute copies of the book to schools and public libraries for book discussions and we produce a discussion/activity guide that teachers and librarians can use. The author comes to RI for a big kickoff event in May, and we also arrange for public libraries in underserved areas to have enrichment activities based on the book throughout the summer. ******************* Danielle Margarida, Youth Services Coordinator Office of Library & Information Services Rhode Island Department of Administration One Capitol Hill | Providence, RI 02908-5803 401.574.9309 (voice) | 401.574.9320 (fax) | www.olis.ri.gov [veclogo-2018] From: yscon [mailto:yscon-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Yates, Beth Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2018 10:34 AM To: YSCon > Subject: [EXTERNAL] : Re: [yscon] [External] Re: Best Statewide Project Hello, all! Training for sure. I personally think it constitutes a state-wide service if you are making it available state-wide. If they opt not to take advantage of it, that is out of our control. One additional service the Indiana State Library offers state-wide to *public* libraries/youth service librarians (and some school libraries, through their public libraries ideally) are book, storytime, LEGO, and DUPLO kits. We have a statewide courier system (another great statewide service we offer) that allows us to send these kits for free to libraries across the state. Here?s more information on the kits themselves: http://www.in.gov/library/kits.htm (They are for Indiana only, FYI.) The kit lending service has developed through the years and pre-dates me.

Maybe this is opening up a larger debate, but the term ?statewide? can be hard to define. Is this a program that everyone gets to matter what? Something like Nebraska?s motion picture license is great because it really does benefit every library. On the other hand, trainings that we offer in every part of the state may seem statewide because they are open to all, but that doesn?t mean that every library actually benefits from it if no one takes the training. I think the majority of what we will be doing moving forward is offering training and participation in projects on a voluntary basis. The last thing that the State Library tried to implement statewide (online summer reading) was a massive fail and it?s left a bad taste in a lot of people?s mouths.

This may sound like a very random and general question, but our state has a history of putting a lot of funding into subgrants. As a result, we don?t have many statewide projects, but in the future, we may be interested in cutting back on some of the grants and using the excess funds towards more statewide projects. I?ve been asked to consider where I might want to put the funding, if we pulled back some of the funding for summer reading grants, and to be honest, I?m not even sure what the possibilities are.

As a children's librarian for twenty years I found that attending a state library provided summer reading workshop was a great way to generate ideas and motivation. During that time, I was fortunate enough to be asked by the Missouri State Library to present those workshops on five occasions. As of this past June, I am no longer a children's librarian but a professional speaker and entertainer. I speak at staff trainings, perform summer reading and other library shows and am still being asked to present workshops, both library related and non-library. If your state offers summer reading workshops or other programming related workshops for the librarians in your area, I would love the opportunity to submit a bid or RFP to present. While I plan on launching a new website later this fall, my current site does contain a list of clients, a testimonial video and images from previous events. www.willstuck.com Thank you for your time and I have a great day, Will Stuck 816-390-4176 www.willstuck.com [cid:image002.gif at 01D31804.1750E670] A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men. - Willy Wonka -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I always get many ideas from you all. Here in CO, our Check Out Colorado State Parks program has been very successful. We provided 2 backpacks to every public library branch, military library, and interested publicly funded academic library to circulate. Each sturdy backpack includes binoculars, Leave No Trace outdoor ethics card, state parks brochure, 2 laminated field guides (CO wildlife and CO trees and wildflowers), and the main item?a state park pass good for any of our 41 state parks (see the backpack and contents at http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdelib/checkoutcoloradobackpackphotot). Patrons can check out the backpack for a week at a time. It began in June 2016; it was a lot of work to start up but the ongoing maintenance level and costs are very small for us. Library staff and patrons love it, along with our state parks partners. A survey of both patrons and library staff shows its success: http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdelib/checkoutcolorado2016infographic. It?s also led to several other valuable state level partnerships for us with organizations focused on outdoor activities. Several other states have a similar program (thanks to GA for helping us start ours!).

I want to echo what others have said about training and add that we also facilitate communities of practice through the Children?s Services Round Table and Young Adult Round Table. Our state library association does not have a youth division, so these round tables are the only opportunity for youth services staff to get together to collaborate. There is no money behind the round tables (other than my time and the occasional presenter), yet they remain one of our most valuable statewide offerings. I?m not sure if this falls in to the category of a statewide service as it is a reading program, but Kids Reading Across RI (KRARI) is one of the best things we do. We partner with the RI Center for the Book and have a committee of public and school librarians who select the KRARI book each year. (The 2018 book is The First Rule of Punk!) We distribute copies of the book to schools and public libraries for book discussions and we produce a discussion/activity guide that teachers and librarians can use. The author comes to RI for a big kickoff event in May, and we also arrange for public libraries in underserved areas to have enrichment activities based on the book throughout the summer. ******************* Danielle Margarida, Youth Services Coordinator Office of Library & Information Services Rhode Island Department of Administration One Capitol Hill | Providence, RI 02908-5803 401.574.9309 (voice) | 401.574.9320 (fax) | www.olis.ri.gov [veclogo-2018] From: yscon [mailto:yscon-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Yates, Beth Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2018 10:34 AM To: YSCon > Subject: [EXTERNAL] : Re: [yscon] [External] Re: Best Statewide Project Hello, all! Training for sure. I personally think it constitutes a state-wide service if you are making it available state-wide. If they opt not to take advantage of it, that is out of our control. One additional service the Indiana State Library offers state-wide to *public* libraries/youth service librarians (and some school libraries, through their public libraries ideally) are book, storytime, LEGO, and DUPLO kits. We have a statewide courier system (another great statewide service we offer) that allows us to send these kits for free to libraries across the state. Here?s more information on the kits themselves: http://www.in.gov/library/kits.htm (They are for Indiana only, FYI.) The kit lending service has developed through the years and pre-dates me. It can be somewhat time consuming but is an appreciated service by those who use it. Best, Beth Yates Children?s Consultant Professional Development Office Indiana State Library 140 N.

Maybe this is opening up a larger debate, but the term ?statewide? can be hard to define. Is this a program that everyone gets to matter what? Something like Nebraska?s motion picture license is great because it really does benefit every library. On the other hand, trainings that we offer in every part of the state may seem statewide because they are open to all, but that doesn?t mean that every library actually benefits from it if no one takes the training. I think the majority of what we will be doing moving forward is offering training and participation in projects on a voluntary basis. The last thing that the State Library tried to implement statewide (online summer reading) was a massive fail and it?s left a bad taste in a lot of people?s mouths.

As you all may know by now, there was a school shooting in Western Kentucky; two 15 year old teens are dead, with 19 others wounded and in various states of recovery. Still awaiting updates about the son of the school librarian who was injured. Another colleague?s child was put into an induced coma. Thankfully, the husband and stepchild of my youth services librarian at the public library survived without physical injury. I am in a closed Facebook group with the public library?s branch manager, who was formerly their teen librarian. The community is very small and rural; town of 30,000. Community resources are far and few between, especially when it comes to mental health. She has posted a query about what to offer at the library tomorrow, as the schools are closed. I have encouraged all of the program suggestions, from movie day for the children, to a memorial wall all patrons can interact with - even finding a church or regional non profit who may be able to provide meals for the week while school is out. I also shared with her an interview with the director of the Ferguson (MO) PL about his programs and outreach in the wake of his community?s tragedies. I am feeling helpless and wish I could just hug her and take away her pain, stress, and the weariness of the long days and nights to come. This led me to start thinking about wider opportunities for training on everything from trauma informed care to bibliotherapy, and self care for public service staff in the wake of tragedies. My ask is if any of you have dealt with similar issues or have recommendations for resources on any of these topics, from books, to trainers, or anything you feel is appropriate.

Pulling some of the books about emotions/trauma...or putting together a book list of these titles to share if a family or individual asks. A writing center area, also, is a possibility -- it could provide an outlet for those who want to write (letters, make cards for those in the hospital, poems) or draw their emotions.

This completely and totally sucks (the only work friendly way to put it) and my heart hurts for you and everyone impacted by this tragedy. It?s hard not to feel helpless when something like this happens, but you are one of those helpers that Mr. Rogers reminded us to look for in times of crisis. I?m sure you are bringing more comfort than you even know just by being present, listening, and reaching out. As for resources, the first thing that comes to mind is this web page that Las Vegas PBS put together after last fall?s shooting.

Krista, My thoughts and prayers to you, your colleagues, and all those touched by this terrible tragedy that makes no sense and has changed lives forever. Your suggestions are all good ones. Quiet games or puzzles might be a diversion to offer. Pulling some of the books about emotions/trauma...or putting together a book list of these titles to share if a family or individual asks. A writing center area, also, is a possibility -- it could provide an outlet for those who want to write (letters, make cards for those in the hospital, poems) or draw their emotions. A place that offers a warm welcome and a safe space is the most important thing of all...which we know a library provides. Thinking of all of you. So, so sorry.

Since the library was impacted they obviously couldn't do much but I know that they offered storytime programs in a different location, had grief counselors available for any of the patrons and created a condolence wall in the convention center where people could stop by and leave thoughts and memories of the staff members that died. People in the community and outside donated TONS of children's books to the library and they had a public memorial service for the Children's librarian who died and they told all the children attending they could help themselves to the donated books in memory of Miss Krissie.

Many community leaders now view libraries as ad hoc disaster recovery centers and recognize librarians as Information First Responders. This presentation will help you and your library embrace this new role as Information First Responders, who quickly enable people to get back to work, back to their lives, and ensure recovery of the community?s economic life. Learn what you need to prepare before disaster strikes, guided by New Jersey State Library?s Disaster Preparedness & Community Resiliency Toolkit, which has been emergency-tested by libraries. Your library can be at the forefront in providing that safe haven in times of crisis and helping your community return to normal life.

I also shared with her an interview with the director of the Ferguson (MO) PL about his programs and outreach in the wake of his community?s tragedies. I am feeling helpless and wish I could just hug her and take away her pain, stress, and the weariness of the long days and nights to come. This led me to start thinking about wider opportunities for training on everything from trauma informed care to bibliotherapy, and self care for public service staff in the wake of tragedies. My ask is if any of you have dealt with similar issues or have recommendations for resources on any of these topics, from books, to trainers, or anything you feel is appropriate. Thank you so much for sticking with this long message. Now more than ever, I deeply appreciate the support of this amazing group of colleagues and professionals.

Many community leaders now view libraries as ad hoc disaster recovery centers and recognize librarians as Information First Responders. This presentation will help you and your library embrace this new role as Information First Responders, who quickly enable people to get back to work, back to their lives, and ensure recovery of the community?s economic life. Learn what you need to prepare before disaster strikes, guided by New Jersey State Library?s Disaster Preparedness & Community Resiliency Toolkit, which has been emergency-tested by libraries. Your library can be at the forefront in providing that safe haven in times of crisis and helping your community return to normal life.

This completely and totally sucks (the only work friendly way to put it) and my heart hurts for you and everyone impacted by this tragedy. It?s hard not to feel helpless when something like this happens, but you are one of those helpers that Mr. Rogers reminded us to look for in times of crisis. I?m sure you are bringing more comfort than you even know just by being present, listening, and reaching out. As for resources, the first thing that comes to mind is this web page that Las Vegas PBS put together after last fall?s shooting. Early Childhood Investigations also has a recorded webinar called Trauma-Informed Early Education Classroom Design: Designing Child and Family-Friendly Spaces for Recovery from Trauma. I haven?t viewed it yet, so I?m not sure how applicable it will be to the public library, but perhaps the presenter could provide a library specific presentation.

Our hearts grieve with them. Excellent ideas Carrie. Quiet(er) but still engaging activities like puzzles or games help refocus our minds for a little while. Usually when something like this happens, schools bring in counselors for anyone who needs to talk. I wonder if the public library could reach out to the organizations that provide those counselors and talk about having them available for evening hours at the library. It breaks my heart even more to realize that our librarians today need training not just in how to run a library, but also in things like how to administer Narcan and trauma care.

Krista, My thoughts and prayers to you, your colleagues, and all those touched by this terrible tragedy that makes no sense and has changed lives forever. Your suggestions are all good ones. Quiet games or puzzles might be a diversion to offer. Pulling some of the books about emotions/trauma...or putting together a book list of these titles to share if a family or individual asks. A writing center area, also, is a possibility -- it could provide an outlet for those who want to write (letters, make cards for those in the hospital, poems) or draw their emotions. A place that offers a warm welcome and a safe space is the most important thing of all...which we know a library provides. Thinking of all of you. So, so sorry.

Still awaiting updates about the son of the school librarian who was injured. Another colleague?s child was put into an induced coma. Thankfully, the husband and stepchild of my youth services librarian at the public library survived without physical injury.

Our state library is part of the state education agency, so I regularly collaborate with my PK-12 colleagues. I am on a Family Engagement cross-agency committee, and it is has been informative for me to learn about how schools are trying to adopt more holistic relationships with students and families. Our committee recently collaborated to create a short video that explains what family engagement is and a brief website on a webpage. You can view the video and the webpage here: https://dpi.wi.gov/engaging-families Be sure to listen for ?public libraries? around the 2:00 minute mark.

It?s been a very disrupted several weeks with days off for vacation and bad weather. I know we had a discussion about this last August because we posted some of the links to family engagement brochures that some of our states had developed in collaboration with our DOEs, like Carrie?s from Maryland, and the one I worked on with my state?s DOE. It was done in preparation for the family engagement session for the YSCon monthly meeting last August 31st. Here?s the link to all the resources we posted in a Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z5J5a--9r1Ol_VcWx219j3OkVq07kpRESzR60w8zg5I/edit?usp=sharing To address your question about how to approach them to include libraries, I?ve been lucky enough that they contacted me to be included in the discussion. It?s taken years to get to this point. I started by inviting the State Director of our Head Start Collaboration Office to lunch years ago and we?ve been working together since. She introduced me to her contacts at our DOE and I offered to work with them as well. I?ve also shared the Public Libraries: A Vital Space for Family Engagement publication with them. Aside for the family engagement brochure, our group hasn?t met in a few months but I?m hoping we?ll do so soon. Since we have a statewide listserv for youth services librarians, I can send out resources from the DOE to the library staff. We?ve also exhibited or presented at each other?s conferences. ~Sharon Best regards, Sharon Rawlins, MLS Youth Services Specialist for Lifelong Learning NJ State Library 185 West State St. P.O.

Except for Kathy Parker, my approximate counterpart in DPI who works with school media coordinators, who I have met, it is more of a ?stay in your lane? attitude but without any hostility. On a local level, schools and public libraries do a decent job of partnering at least for information sharing, the partnering just doesn?t happen at a state level. I am hoping to change this with Kathy?s help as she definitely understands the need for schools and public libraries to work together in order to best serve their communities.

The webinars are archived on the State Library of Iowa's website, here: http://www.statelibraryofiowa.org/ld/c-d/continuing-ed/conted-ials/archives-webinar Thanks, Merri Merri Monks Youth Services Consultant State Library of Iowa | Des Moines Office 515.281.7572 | Merri.Monks at iowa.gov 1112 E.

Click here [GLR For Immediate Release] Adam Schwartz 202-459-4320 aschwartz at gradelevelreading.net 24 New Communities Join Movement to Boost Early Learning THE STATE OF DELAWARE JOINS WITH SEVEN GRADE-LEVEL READING COMMUNITY COALITIONS [http://i2.cmail19.com/ei/d/B3/FB9/1A3/053142/csfinal/GLRMap1-29-18.png] Washington, D.C., January 29, 2018 ? Twenty-four new communities have joined the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading (GLR Campaign), a nationwide movement to ensure early school success for children from low-income families. The newest communities to join this collaborative effort are: Prescott, Ariz.; seven communities in Delaware; 10 Georgia counties and metropolitan regions; as well as Southeast Mississippi (Hattiesburg/Lamar County); Orange County, N.C.; Westchester and Putnam Counties, N.Y.; Erie County, Pa.; Nashville, Tenn.; and Dodge and Jefferson Counties, Wis. For the first time, the state of Delaware is highlighted on the map with the seven communities of Bridgeville, Dover, Felton, Georgetown, New Castle County, Seaford and Wilmington committing to build momentum toward closing the reading proficiency gap. When launching the Delaware GLR Campaign with the United Way of Delaware, Governor John Carney said, ?Third-grade literacy is critical to the future success of our students?I look forward to the work of our nonprofit and community partners to tackle this important issue.? The 10 new counties and metropolitan regions in Georgia joining the GLR Network ? bringing the number to 66 ? are partnered together through Get Georgia Reading, a statewide GLR Campaign comprised of people, organizations and communities that applies a common agenda as a framework for action so that all children in Georgia become proficient readers by the end of third grade. The new counties include: Bartow, Carroll, Cochran-Bleckley, Greene, Jefferson, Rome-Floyd and Tattnall. The city of Gainesville, the Greater Columbus-Phenix Metropolitan Area and the Metropolitan Atlanta Region have also joined the Get Georgia Reading initiative. In addition to the communities that are new to the GLR Campaign, the Northern Nevada Campaign Coalition has expanded and now involves 13 counties across the region. ?We are thrilled to welcome the newest members of our growing network of communities,? said Ralph Smith, managing director of the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading. ?Their commitment to this vital mission comes at a critical time when too many children are falling beyond the reach of schools. We need systems that can assure 24/7/365, two-generation supports and interventions. By taking up this challenge, each of these communities commits to do more, to do better and to make a difference in assuring more hopeful futures for the next generation.? The new GLR Campaign communities have committed to targeting early literacy as an urgent priority and developed comprehensive action plans to put their youngest citizens on the path to early school success. Reading proficiency by the end of third grade is a critical milestone toward high school graduation and success later in life because it marks the transition from ?learning to read? to ?reading to learn.? Students who have not mastered reading by that time are more likely to drop out of high school and struggle throughout their lives. By 2020, the GLR Campaign aims to increase by at least 100 percent the number of children from low-income families reading proficiently at the end of third grade in a dozen or more states. The communities? action plans address three underlying challenges that can keep young children, especially those from low-income families, from learning to read proficiently ? school readiness, school attendance and summer learning ? along with focusing on parents and healthy child development, prioritizing children and families in public housing, promoting systemic solutions to data challenges and employing technology to achieve bigger outcomes and sustainable scale. Membership in the GLR Communities Network gives these local initiatives access to experts and policymakers focused on early literacy; assistance in addressing the challenges that keep many children from learning to read; and opportunities to share and learn best practices from more than 360 communities in 43 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada. A complete list of GLR communities is available at gradelevelreading.net/communities. View press release on GLR website. About the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading Launched in 2010, the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading is a collaborative effort of funders, nonprofit partners, business leaders, government agencies, states and communities to ensure that many more children from low-income families succeed in school and graduate prepared for college, a career and active citizenship. Since its launch, the GLR Campaign has grown to include more than 360 communities, representing 43 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada ? with 3,900 local organizations and 450 state and local funders (including 185 United Ways).
