1.H1N1 Virus (Swine Flu) Information

1a. Information from John DeBacher

John DeBacher, DLTCL, posted a Web page on Friday, May 1 with information on pandemic flu preparation.
http://dpi.wi.gov/pld/pandemic.html Included is a list of issues suggested by ALA's Professional Tips blog that public libraries might consider in developing their own procedure. One of which is "Criteria for suspending story times and other library programs."

One of the suggestions is that "Public libraries should work with their municipality to determine what services the library might be expected to provide in the event of pandemic outbreak in the community. In smaller communities, the emergency plan may be at the county level. The library may serve as a site to distribution information or emergency kits. The library director and board should work with local health officials, either with the municipality or the county, to determine whether it is appropriate to keep the library open, restrict areas where a higher density of people congregate, or to distribute materials or services at a single pick-up location. The library should also establish minimal acceptable staffing levels and determine at what point library services must be reduced or suspended due to staff illnesses, as well as what role the library can play in local emergency plans with reduced staffing levels."

3.SLP Update

3a. 2010 Art Work, 2011 Themes, and 2012 Concepts

We were able to see the 2010 artwork at the CSLP Annual Meeting last week and both the children and teen art are attractive. Both focus on waves moreso than the beach. The children's poster features a moose on a water slide and the support art is of various animals frolicking in the water. Aries, represented by a striking ram with his fish bottom concealed by ocean waves, is the focus of the teen poster. I'll bring the artwork to any upcoming meetings I attend so people can see them. The artist for the children's 2010 program is Henry Cole. For information about Cole go to www.henrycole.net/main.php?link=home. The teen artist for 2010 program is Ursula Vernon. Check out Vernon at http://ursulavernon.com/

The 2011 theme will be "One World, Many Stories" (Un mundo, muchas historias) and the teen theme will be
"You Are Here" (Tu estás aquí).

The 2012 general concept for children is "Into the Night," and for teens the broad concept it "Nocturnal Creatures." The actual themes for these concepts will be decided at the 2010 CSLP Annual Meeting.

3b. 2008 SLP Participation Data for Wisconsin

Preliminary data from the 2008 Annual Reports indicates that there was a 7-1/2 percent increase in attendance at summer programs in 2008 compared to 2007. Total attendance at 2008 programs was 476,260: it was 449,957 in 2007. There was a slight increase in the number of children registered for the program, which was 171,147 in 2008, up from 169,359 in 2007. The number of preschool children participating went down slightly from 44,904 in 2007 to 44,682 in 2008, a decrease of about a half a percentage point.

3c. Change in Reporting Program Information on the Annual Report

The Institute of Museums and Library Services, which administers federal LSTA funding and collects annual statistics from all states, will begin collecting information on library programs targeted to Young Adults, beginning in 2010. The Wisconsin Public Library Annual Report previously has collected data on the annual total for adult and children's programs and program attendance. Wisconsin will begin to collect data for young adult programs and attendance as well.

DPI will include this new data element in the 2009 annual report (to be completed by libraries early next year), but the information will be voluntary that first year, recognizing that libraries have not previously been required to submit the information. Children's programs will now be defined as programs targeted at children up to age 11, and young adult programs are those targeted at ages 12-18 years of age.

This change means that libraries should count both the programs they offer for children and those offered for teens. As in the past, the audience count is everyone who attends, regardless of age. Libraries will decide for themselves if the programs they offer were targeted at children or teens, but a single program may be counted only in one category, and attendance should be attributed correspondingly. Programs for all ages or for families are typically counted as children's programs, but it all depends on the library's intended audience for the program. The 2009 Annual Report will request total attendance at children and teen programs for 2009 (as well as a total for all programs and attendance, which would include adult programs) and will require those figures in 2010. Please note that the Division is not requiring libraries to offer young adult programs; however, if the library does offer programs targeted to young adults, those programs should be tracked and reported distinct from children's or "other" programs. These changes at the national level are in response to the growing awareness that teens benefit from specific services and that more libraries are offering services and programs designed for that audience.

3d. The Importance of Summer Reading

I have added a set of new handouts and talking point guides to the summer reading program web page. Research elements have been summarized into bulleted lists to make handouts for parents, educators, and library trustees. The lists may also be used by librarians as talking points in presentations on the importance of their summer reading programs. To view these new handouts go to http://dpi.wi.gov/pld/pdf/slp-points.pdf

3e. Summer Safety and Privacy Protection Reminders

As a safety precaution and to protect the privacy of library records, children's reading records should be located in an area or accessed in a way that does not allow members of the public from knowing the children's last name. Contest forms that include children's addresses and/or phone numbers should be put in a container in which they can't be read by passer-bys. If children's faces are used on library web pages or if contest winners names are released to the local newspaper, a parental permission slip is strongly encouraged. Many libraries that routinely take pictures during library events include a parental permission slip to allow the library to photograph their child as part of their registration process. This is not a legal requirement, but extra precaution is encouraged whenever minors are involved.

There is information on legal issues regarding taking pictures of children in public libraries and using those pictures on library web sites, etc., on the PLD SLP web page at http://dpi.wi.gov/pld/slp.html

3f. CSLP Copyright Reminders

Please encourage your librarians to review the CSLP Rules of Use regarding the 2009 SLP artwork. The information is on the clip art disc, in the manual, and on the CSLP web page. In particular, I want to remind everyone that if you use the artwork on a web page you need to include this statement:
"This artwork is copyrighted, contact CSLP for information. www.cslpreads.org"
I would very much appreciate systems that help create summer reading program web pages for their libraries to automatically include the copyright statement

The CSLP Board has made four clip art images available for libraries to offer to their partnering agencies for use on their web pages. Partnering agencies could use all the clip art images on print items for joint projects in the past created for their local libraries, but they could not use any of the art work on their web pages. Now there are four images (2 images each, in black and white and in color) that can be used on the web pages of partnering agencies. I have put copies of these images on the DLTCL SLP web page at www.dpi.wi.gov/pld/slp.html. Look for the "Artwork for Partnering Agencies" link at the bottom of the box on the right with the title "CSLP Information."

3g. Sign Language Video

System Liaisons will receive a copy of the CSLP Sign Language Video, created by the CSLP Diversity Committee. Rhonda Puntney is Chair of that committee.Systems can make copies for their members or members can down load it directly from the CSLP web page. When it is posted I will let you know. It has some new features this year and should be helpful to any librarian who wants to incorporate some sign language in their programs this summer. The video will be demonstrated at the Special Needs meeting on May 29th.

3h. Accessing the New CSLP Web Page

The CSLP web page has undergone some substantial changes. To access most areas of the page, librarians will need to use the "Create Account" button in the middle of the page near the username and password boxes. Once they complete the registration, they will have to confirm with an email address, and then wait for an email at that address for a response from CSLP. It is a little bit of a process, so people will have to wait for that response and will not have immediate access. Approval is done manually, not by an automated system. CSLP is verifying that the person is in a member state and is an approved agency. Once the person is registered, they will just need their password to access the web page in the future. The CSLP web page is at www.cslpreads.org.

4c. Can't Afford a Prom Dress? Try the Local Library

With its community facing tough economic times, the Galesburg Public Library in Illinois has reached out by offering free prom dresses to teens who otherwise couldn't afford them. More than two dozen teens tried on prom dresses in the library and walked away with a free donated evening gown--and even matching accessories. As a result of a the 100 Dresses Program launched by YA Librarian Kari Smith, more than two dozen local girls from four high schools recently chose from gently used evening dresses in all shades and sizes, donated from women's clubs, college students, and other high school kids.

The girls were assisted by "personal shoppers" composed of five girls from the library's teen advisory board, as well as Smith and Melinda Jones-Rhoades, another young adult librarian. "This is really great. I can't believe you're just giving these dresses away!" enthused Elizabeth Mustain, a local teen who selected a gown at the "boutique."

The program has been about a year in the making because working-class Galesburg residents have felt the economic squeeze long before the current financial meltdown. In 2005, local industries Maytag and the Butler Manufacturing Company moved out, leaving lots of townspeople unemployed. "The residents of this town have had their fair share of hard knocks," says Smith.

While a prom boutique is a new program for the Galesburg Public Library, there's a history of prom dress donation in Galesburg. The first Galesburg institution to give away prom dresses was the University of Illinois Extension several years ago, but the program was shut down due to funding cuts, Smith explains. "The girls who picked out dresses seemed thrilled we were offering the service," she adds. "It's worth it to see the smiles on the girls' faces."

The program was promoted through as many outlets as possible: on the library's Web site, with fliers at schools and the library, and in the newspaper and on the radio, says Smith, who joined the library last year and pledged to beef up its YA programming.
