FROM THE PRESIDENT… DANIELLE LOFTUS

I am more than half way through my term as president of SDLA, so I am reflecting on the opportunities I have had to see our board members and committees do the amazing things that they do. Whether that is preparing for an event such as annual conference or working on the quarterly issue of our Book- marks, or making the Association run smoothly, many hours and often months of sincere effort goes into each success. I appreciate everyone’s participation in SDLA because there is such power in working together cooperatively. The more member participation we have, the more we can help libraries and librarians to thrive and keep South Dakota growing. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your efforts not only to improve libraries across the state but also to share your ideas and information so that we can all benefit and continue to grow.

3 FAITH PUBLIC/SCHOOL LIBRARY GETS CREATIVE Submitted by Angela Ostrander On April 6 at 5-7 pm, the Faith Public/School held a painting class. Ten participants painted a Palm tree beach and ocean scene under the guidance and di- rection of Joyclyn Mollman of Joyclyn's Art from Buffalo, SD. Joyclyn has taught several painting classes at the Faith Public/School Library. She travels Montana, North Dakota and western South Dakota to conduct many of these classes. Participants started off using a sponge to paint the entire canvas with yellow then let dry. After this step, the instructor proceeded to guide us to the next steps of adding green and blue for the ocean, orange for the sunset; using a wide brush to add the sun with white and black for the islands and palm trees with a special technique. Participants then could add finishing touches and take the painting home. There was a minimum cost that included the canvas and needed sup- plies. Participants were a mix of adults and high school students. Everyone enjoyed the painting class along with the refreshments of punch and hors d'oeurvres. Another painting class is scheduled for July 10 from 5-7 pm. Please give painting selections and sign up by contacting the Faith Public/ School Library at 967-2262.

DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY BUILDING CONNECTIONS

Submitted by Kimberly Darata

The Douglas High School Library has a book club that meets twice a month to discuss books, as well as every Monday and Friday to run the Patriot Cafe. This year our Industrial Arts teacher and students gifted us with a counter from which to run the coffee shop. Pictured are the students who made the service counter, which is on wheels and can be put anywhere in the library, and also one of our book club members serving students coffee. The Book Club students and librarian were so thrilled with this gift, we invited the Industrial Arts teacher and students in one Friday for coffee, donuts, and conver- sation- on us!

4 WHAT’S HAPPENING AT BRIGGS LIBRARY Submitted by Linda Kott Librarians at Briggs have been busy. This year, they welcomed 48 graduate students to Literature Review Workshops during the spring semester. Librarians and students discussed strategies, tools, and resources to help students conquer this daunting part of the research process. Jeanne Davidson has been elected to a four-year term on the ACRL (Association of College & Research Libraries) Board of Di- rectors. The Board addresses planning, strategy, and policy for this organization with over 12,000 members. The library recently hosted three popular events. On March 28 stu- Poet S. D.

Megan Jacobson gave a presentation on the cultural impact of food and cooking in South Dakota. The program celebrated the South Dakota Community Cookbook Collection digitization project that Archives & Special Collections is undertaking. SDSU’s annual Common Read Book is How Does It Feel to Be a Problem? by Moustafa Bayoumi. The book focuses on the lives of seven young Arab-Americans living in Brooklyn. The book will serve as the focus for events and discus- sions during the fall semester. Author Moustafa Bayoumi will give a lecture on campus. The library and SDSU’s Hon- ors College hosted a “reveal” for the book in the library’s lobby on the afternoon of April 20. The library distributed free copies of the book to students, instructors, and other interested parties. Briggs Library and SDSU’s English Department hosted an event on the evening of April 20 to celebrate the publica- tion of the 2017 edition of Oakwood literary magazine. Attending artists and editors were recognized for their work and poets and writers read for the audience. The magazine, which has been published since 1976, accepts work from all interested artists and writers.

TYNDALL ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION Submitted by Sue Gough

The Tyndall Carnegie Public Library celebrated 100 years of service to the community. An open house was held on April 12, 2017 during Na- tional Library Week. Many visitors enjoyed coffee, cake and shared memories. In memory of 100 years, there was much library history and memorabilia to view. With the community support the library will continue to serve the public.

Author E.B. White said, "A little library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or un- decided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered."

5 MCGOVERN LIBRARY CARNIVAL

Submitted by Kelly Henkel The McGovern Library created a carnival themed end of year bash for students to spend some time outside and relax during finals. The library’s circulation manager, Judy Lehi, used her powers of collaboration to pull together a big event quickly and painlessly. Our library building is home to TRiO student services, the McGovern Center for Leadership, the Kelley Center for Entrepreneurship, the university coffee bar, the His- tory Department and the Multimedia department and we have a 13 person student worker team and each group pitched in to create and man an activity or booth. The DWU pep band also made an appearance and played a set for the students on the lawn. Judy harnessed the talents of our student workers as well. A student in the graphics design department created the poster and social media advertisements for the event and an education student hosted a children’s time with conservation-themed games and finger painting. The students were excited to help with the event. It was a beautiful day out— students played beanbags on the lawn and enjoyed free hotdogs and popcorn pro- vided by the campus food service. My personal favorite part of the event was a contest to mold the best George McGovern out of play-dough.
