The document discusses the need for school librarians to provide students access to library resources from anywhere, not just physically within the library. The author notes their own school libraries are outdated in this way. They were inspired by visiting their local public library, which had modernized well over the years. The author wants to similarly update and partner their school library with the local public library to better serve students into the future, but is unsure where to begin.

There are two main types of libraries: school libraries which serve students and public libraries which are open to the general public. A book mobile is a type of library that takes books to people who live far from libraries. School libraries are typically located in the parish capitals or major towns. A library is a place where people can go to read books and access other materials.

Veteran Voices: Library Impact on Veterans
JJ Pionke conducted interviews with 24 veterans over 4 months to understand their experiences using libraries. The interviews were deposited with the Library of Congress and State Library of Illinois. Most veterans did not want special programming and used libraries as community members or parents. While some enjoyed military history books, most did not have a desire for them. Veterans generally had positive experiences at libraries and did not wish to change anything beyond adding amenities like caffeine. They were interested in biographies, sports, cooking and career-oriented books along with services like social workers and community programming.

Ian Anstice gave a presentation to the Axiell European User Conference about the challenges facing public libraries. He discussed the dramatic changes in availability of information online and reductions in library budgets and usage. Libraries have responded by promoting a wide range of services but risk trying to do too much and losing their core focus. Anstice argues that libraries should focus on having a clear, simple message about providing equal access to information for all.Recommandé

The Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library faced budget cuts that required changes to operations. They took a reactive and proactive approach, improving communication and collaboration both internally and externally. This included cross-departmental teams, more staff participation in decision-making, partnerships with vendors and other libraries, and centralizing some processes. While staff levels decreased slightly, the materials budget increased and the library was able to do more with less through these changes, realigning resources and using collaboration and communication to overcome budget challenges.Sustainable Libraries - Shades of Green, Introduction

Webinar - Instagram for Public Libraries: Good Practices for Social Media - 2...
Visit http://www.techsoup.org for donated technology for nonprofits and libraries!
Instagram is a highly popular social network, and one that is increasingly being used by libraries to engage with patrons and supporters. Instagram's user-friendly interface makes it easy to broadcast pictures and short videos to a wide audience. But just like any social media tool, it is important to know what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to using Instagram to share library information.
Come to this free webinar to learn from two libraries who have been successfully using Instagram to engage with their communities, and to share positive library messages with the larger community of Instagram users across the world. From promoting library materials to showcasing library services, these libraries will share good practices that they have learned along the way.
-- Burlingame Public Library (CA) uses their Instagram account to share its unique story visually through a combination of captivating photos and videos.
-- Cherry Hill Public Library (NJ) uses their Instagram account to promote library materials and services, celebrate libraries in general, and to convey a love of reading and books.

The Holmes County District Public Library serves residents through 5 locations and a bookmobile. The library's mission is to improve quality of life by providing access to information and opportunities for learning. Declining state funding has critically impacted the library's ability to operate county-wide. The library has tightened its belt but needs community support to continue providing materials and services. Voters will decide on a 0.8 mil property tax levy that would cost $2 per month to restore needed county-wide library services.

A Collection of Collections
The document describes several libraries in Wisconsin, including:
1) The Ogema Baptist Church Library which has a small annual budget of $600 and relies on donations for its collection. It is run entirely by volunteers.
2) The Rib Lake Elementary School Library which serves about 200 students and has a budget of $5,133 for its collection of over 9,000 items.
3) The Rib Lake Public Library which has an annual circulation of 35,000 items and a budget of $78,000 to serve the village of Rib Lake and surrounding rural areas.
The Full Spectrum Librarian
The document discusses the challenges of working as a rural or small librarian. It notes that 80% of libraries serve populations under 25,000 and that many rural libraries have only one full-time staff member and collections under 10,000 books. Rural librarians often feel isolated but have opportunities to innovate and create new services to meet community needs since they understand the community well. The document provides advice on networking, using words that emphasize positive change on resumes and interviews, and leveraging professional organizations to help mitigate isolation.
NCompass Live: Reader of the Week
The Morton-James Public Library introduced a "Reader of the Week" initiative in their local newspaper to promote reading. The library director approached the newspaper editor in 2015 to create a weekly feature where library staff would recruit community members to answer questions about their reading habits and recommendations. Over a year, the initiative recruited a diverse range of readers and provided free publicity for the library's collections and programs in the newspaper's "Library Notes" section following each interview.
