DIG INTO YOUR
HISTORY
A Genealogy Program for Children

GETTING STARTED:
Why I got interested in looking up my own history …
The following list of names represent the famous pirates and
privateers who were associated with the Elizabethan era, late 1400's
and early 1500's:
Nathaniel Butler - English Pirate
Jan de Bouff - Dutch Pirate
Tobias Bridge - English Pirate
Enrique Brower - Dutch Pirate
John Calles - English Pirate
Peter Easton - English Pirate
Daniel Elfrith - English Pirate
John Nutt - English Pirate
Grace O'Malley - Irish Pirate
John Ward - English Pirate

And that was just my father’s father’s side of the family!
What would I find on the other sides of my family?
So I became interested in my family’s past … and
found out a lot!
How can I take this interest and extend
it to a program at the Library?
Our summer Reading program was Dig Into Reading
Named my program Dig Into Your History!

Sense of self through finding out…
Who am I?
Where did I come from?
Am I English, German,
French, or a mixture of a
whole lot of nationalities?
What did my ancestors
look like?
How can I find this out?

Getting the kids interested in finding out about their past:
Are you related to someone
famous?
Or even better, are you related to
someone infamous?

NCompass Live - April 10, 2024 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Libraries have been offering programming for decades, and in many cases the model has been, "Let’s plan a program, promote it, and see who shows up." This approach hasn’t changed much, even with social and technological changes, not to mention the pandemic and streaming programs. Program planning with a marketing mindset starts with identifying your customer’s needs and wants, then developing programs and services to meet those needs and wants. We’ll discuss how to use research – quantitative and qualitative – to plan and market programs that will engage your customers. We’ll talk about "bundling" programs and services for different audience segments. We’ll also cover how this more strategic approach can save time and resources for your library. Presenter: Cordelia Anderson, Library Marketing and Communications Consultant, Cordelia Anderson Consulting.

NCompass Live - March 13, 2024 While every library is unique, they all seem to share one thing in common: they could use more money! Grant funding might be the just thing to help buy technology for STEM programming, get a new service initiative off the ground, or complete a renovation. But applying for grants can be overwhelming – and that’s assuming you can even find one for which you qualify. This session aims to introduce you to the tools to make the grant application process more easily navigable. In this session, Kathryn will provide tips for putting your best foot forward when it comes time to submit your proposal. Handouts include a roadmap to success and descriptions of various sections of the application. Presenter: Kathryn Brockmeier, Grant Consultant.

NCompass Live - January 17, 2024 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Have you wondered if your library's website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective? How do you know what to measure, or how to measure it? There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library's site. Learn about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention. Presenter: Laura Solomon, MCIW, MLS is the Library Services Manager for the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN). She has been doing web development and design for more than twenty years, in both public libraries and as an independent consultant. She specializes in developing with Drupal. She is a 2010 Library Journal Mover & Shaker. She's written three books about social media and content marketing, specifically for libraries, and speaks nationally on both these and technology-related topics. As a former children's librarian, she enjoys bringing the "fun of technology" to audiences and in giving libraries the tools they need to better serve the virtual customer.
