The Good Stuff - Page 3 - December 2014 NDLA Pre- and Post-conference Wrap-up BY AL PETERSON, PAST PRESIDENT AND CONFERENCE CHAIR NDLA Pre-conferences • Black Belt Librarians: The Essential Elements of a Real World Security Program • Common Core Standards and North Dakota Library Media Specialists • EBSCO Database Training: Literary Reference Center, NoveList and NoveList K-8, and More • Q & A with the New State Librarian In planning the 2014 NDLA conference, I wanted to make sure that we offered pre- conferences that met the needs of our members. A couple of years ago, the North Dakota State Library invited Sgt. Pedro Armendariz, the former head of Capitol Security, to give a presentation on library security at our annual Spring Workshops. Sgt. Armendariz’s session was well attended and, from the comments made during the Q & A session at the end of the presentation, I realized that library security was on a lot of people’s minds. After consulting Warren Graham’s book, The Black Belt Librarian, when we were revising the State Library’s patron behavior policy, I decided to see about bringing the author to the NDLA Conference as a pre-conference presenter. We had a packed house for his session on library security. Graham, a security professional for more than 25 years (17 as security manager of Charlotte Mecklenburg [Public] Library in North Carolina), brought a no-nonsense, real world library security presentation to our members. Attendees learned how to create a library security plan, how to implement the plan, and how to train other staff on security protocol. This workshop was sponsored by the Mountain Plains Library Association. I also wanted to have a second pre-conference that focused on topics relevant to school librarians. I decided to offer several short presentations on a variety of topics. • The first was a session about Common Core Standards presented by Kirsten Baesler, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Peg Wagner, Assistant Director of the Academic Standards division of DPI (Department of Public Instruction). Their presentation stressed the importance of the role school librarians have in meeting standards and educating our children. Judging from the comments by attendees, we could have devoted even more time to this topic. • Amanda Winseck from EBSCO presented on our newest EBSCO offerings, including NoveList and Literary Reference Center. • The last

I truly believe libraries are cornerstones of our communities, and I am pleased to provide this increased funding to help them serve the public.” Some of the valuable services public libraries provide with grant money include the following: • Large print material for aging patrons • Books, magazines, newspapers, CDs and DVDs • Audiobooks and eBooks • Home visit book delivery service • New computers, iPads and printers • Spanish and dual language materials • Expanded access to online resources • Adult programming • Newsletters, postcards and other promotional materials Per Capita Grant funding is authorized under Illinois library law for public libraries, which allows resources for expenses such as materials, personnel, equipment, electronic access, telecommunications and technology.

  • Carnegie Institute: History, Architecture, Collections
    FRICK FINE ARTS LIBRARY The Carnegie Institute: History, Architecture, Collections Library Guide Series, No. 40 “Qui scit ubi scientia sit, ille est proximus habenti.” -- Brunetiere* An Introduction Andrew Carnegie, the founder of The Carnegie Institute, was an American industrialist who worked in the fields of the railroad, oil and became a baron of the iron and steel industries. During his lifetime he donated more than $350 million to a variety of social, educational and cultural causes, the best known of which was his support of the free public library movement. He gave grants for 3,000 library buildings in the English- speaking world between the late 1890s and 1917. The first Carnegie Library opened in 1889 and was built in Braddock, PA near the location of his largest steel mill. The second library opened in Allegheny City during 1890. Carnegie’s most ambitious cultural creation, however, was the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh which included a library, natural history museum, art gallery, and concert hall that were designed by Alden and Harlow between 1891-1907. Few people outside of Pittsburgh know that Andrew Carnegie was also involved in the art world of his day, creating the Art Gallery portion of the Carnegie Institute that is now known as the Carnegie Museum of Art and also beginning what has become one of the oldest international art exhibitions in the world – the Carnegie International in 1896. A little more than a century later the Carnegie Museum of Art had grown to include The Andy Warhol Museum of Art and the Heinz Architectural Center.

  • New Bookmobile Books Provided by the Lois Lenski Covey Foundation
    19 E. Fourth St. Williamsport, PA 17701 www.jvbrown.edu FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New Bookmobile books provided by the Lois Lenski Covey Foundation WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – A collection of new children’s non-fiction books were purchased for the Lycoming County Mobile Library through the generosity of the Lois Lenski Covey Foundation. The Foundation, in its 50th year of service, provides literacy grants that support book purchases used specifically for bookmobile programs that serve disadvantaged children. The Lycoming County Bookmobile was one of only a dozen organizations awarded a grant for the 2017-2018 period. With the assistance of local library supplier Brodart, a collection of children’s non-fiction materials were professionally curated to meet the standards of Pennsylvania’s academic focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics education. “Information literacy is crucial and yet informational texts can lose relevance quickly,” said Kevin Renehan, county services manager for the James V. Brown Library. “Unlike the timeless status of many fictional children’s books, we have to work harder to keep our non-fiction updated and contemporary.” The Bookmobile makes stops at multiple private and public elementary schools in Lycoming County, as well as local community centers, nursing homes, day cares, child care facilities, services offering support for people with disabilities, and low-income housing. “In a county of our size, the largest in the state – mobile libraries support Pennsylvania’s initiative to provide social and civic literacy to our underserved and rural communities. This non-fiction book grant from the Lois Lenski Covey Foundation supports our mission to meet those educational needs,” Renehan said.
