Our favorite place just opened back up. 00:32:56 Sam (NADL): @Beth congratulations!! :) 00:33:03 Beth Bogaert: Thank you all :) 00:33:41 Melissa Shank: @Marissa we had a picnic for our 2 year anniversary on Tuesday!! 00:34:17 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: @Melissa that's awesome! It's the closest thing to going out to dinner right now haha. 00:34:20 Ruth J: @ Marissa - congrats 00:34:26 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: Thanks, Ruth! 00:34:57 Jocelyn Levin: Happy Anniversary to both @Marissa and @Melissa 00:35:14 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: @Jocelyn Thank you! 00:35:14 Melissa Shank: Thanks, Jocelyn! 00:39:25 a boyer: Saw some great take and make ideas. 00:39:45 Cathy Campbell: we're using some! 00:43:14 Amber Sheerin, MLA (she/her): Please submit any questions here! 00:44:03 Lisa Rodkey: can you post the listserv Cathy mentioned 00:47:49 Kate Van Auken: @Pam at Frankenmuth awesome idea! 00:48:27 Megan Fillinger: how would the live view-alongs work? is it okay, as long as we have the movie license? 00:48:41 Nisa Kesseler: had a teen dress her cat up as baby yoda 00:49:35 Rebecca Hermen: I got "Cola Fountains..." just after YS chat yesterday! My 12 yo was very interested. 00:50:58 Ann Greene: We bought notebooks and pens for them to write their stories, so that works for this summer. 00:52:52 Heather Hames: Can anyone share how you are doing a dial a story or dial a challenge? 00:53:38 Cathy Lancaster, Library of Michigan : https://bit.ly/MiYouthMeetings 00:54:07 Barbara Beaton: Yes! 00:54:07 a boyer: yup 00:54:20 Barbara Beaton: We’ve seen several examples of the silly walks around the area. 00:55:04 a boyer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoIdEjdZIls 00:55:22 a boyer: Link to mony python silly walks 00:56:59 Jocelyn Levin: Maybe Kanopy? 00:57:28 Cathy Lancaster, Library of Michigan : https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-88855_89054-310372--,00.html 00:57:43 Lisa Rodkey: thank you 00:58:37 Nisa Kesseler: I have a Roll20 subscription for my D&D teens 00:59:29 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: Being a DM is not easy! 00:59:36 Amanda Pierce: I am finding some of the tweens/teens being zoomed out, any recommendations to get them to engage? 01:00:13 Cindi Place: Instagram is another way to connect with Teens. Just letting know you are out there and thinking about them helps. 01:00:26 Katie Badgley: I am zoomed out!!! 01:00:32 Amanda Pierce: I use Instagram, they don’t want to be on Facebook 01:00:45 Karen Dobson: Teens don't get zoomed out like adults especially if they are gaming. 01:01:04 Melissa Shank: Fantasy Grounds is similar to Roll 20. Not sure about comparative pricing but I know there used to be a free trial if anyone wants to compare them 01:01:46 Cindi Place: I am here! 01:02:08 Nisa Kesseler: my DM looked at both Fantasy Grounds and Roll20 and felt Roll20 was easier to use 01:02:18 Nisa Kesseler: me too 01:02:58 Karen Dobson: I need to find a Dungeon Master. 01:03:25 Nisa Kesseler: Cindi, I was only able to be there until 11:30, how much longer did the meeting go? 01:03:39 Melissa Shank: @Nisa that's fair. FG is very intuitive on the player side (I use it in a personal campaign) but I've never DMed before 01:03:41 Lindsay Gojcaj: @Nisa We didn't go too much longer. :) 01:03:56 Vickie Weyand: how will the information on this scavenger hunt be promoted to all the libraries? 01:04:19 Nisa Kesseler: thank you, Cindi! 01:04:23 Vickie Weyand: thanks! 01:04:48 Cathy Lancaster, Library of Michigan : https://sites.google.com/site/2017nationalteenlockin/ 01:05:22 Vickie Weyand: I will pass on to our teen librarian! 01:06:07 Cindi Place: I heard the greatest SRP idea....grow your own beanstalk...how easy send a cup and a bean seed! 01:06:32 Cally Gautz: to add to that...the stem challenge of "grow a playground for your peas" 01:06:38 Nisa Kesseler: Cindi, that is so cool! 01:06:46 Cally Gautz: er...make** so they use materials for the beans to clumb 01:07:02 Teresa Natzke: Has anyone heard if the libraries in the UP and northern Michigan are opening for curbside this weekend? 01:07:20 Trevor Winn: Has anyone used a web-based bingo program that is customizable? Doesn't have to be free. 01:07:27 Cally Gautz: anyone know what other countries, particularly countries that have been hit harder than our area - and what they're doing? 01:07:52 CYNTHIA STANCZAK: is there any online phone system, like those that are being used to forward calls to staff right now, to use for dial a story? 01:07:57 Dixie Andres: Overwhelmed. So many wonderful ideas. Trying to narrow down ideas to what our community would like. Currently focused on our Bookopoly Board Challenge. 01:08:09 Cathy Lancaster, Library of Michigan : http://bit.ly/MiYouthVirtual 01:08:11 Nisa Kesseler: @Teresa, we are looking to open for curbside on May 29th, but we are going to have staff in the building starting next Tuesday 01:08:12 Emily Blakowski: I am planning to have an outdoor concert (hopefully when the restrictions are more relaxed). Has anybody tried to do that in the past? 01:08:14 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: To-Go Kits in plastic bags and give out with gloves. 01:08:36 Heather Hames: I'm thinking of doing dial a story using Google voice - maybe a different number per different type of story (preschools vs other) depending on time limits 01:08:58 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: @Emily, I used to work at Chelsea District Library and they do many outdoor concerts/programs over the summer 01:09:05 Katie Badgley: I did dial a story years ago in California. It was really easy and fun! 01:09:08 Amanda Pierce: How can we join the teen virtual program conversation? 01:09:21 a boyer: Yes, I would love to join in too. 01:09:36 Laura Orlowski: Emily - be sure to check with your local municipality for permission for outdoor concerts. My city requires permission. 01:09:37 Cindi Place: Amanda send me your email and a note to that effect bellairelibrary@torchlake.com 01:09:44 Cathy Lancaster, Library of Michigan : http://publiclibrariesonline.org/2017/03/dial-a-story-offers-storytime-experience-at-home/ 01:10:22 Emily Blakowski: Thanks @Marissa and @Laura 01:10:35 Cindi Place: Librarians are nothing if we aren't innovative and used to change! 01:11:27 Tara McCann: All my performers are sending me videos to share on our Facebook page for one week 01:11:27 Eric Palmer: Most of MMLC performers now have virtual shows 01:11:40 Cindi Place: Right now we can't have more than 10 people in a gathering even in Region 6. And libraries are still not open in 6 & 8 01:11:49 Amanda Pierce: Cindi I sent off an email! 01:11:51 Rebecca Hermen: @Tara....can you share the names of those performers? 01:12:05 Marissa Marquardson: I wonder if there's a way to host a drive in movie in the parking lot... 01:12:06 Kay Williams: Not even curbside in 6 and 8? 01:12:22 Cindi Place: Acting Up is doing a virtual program. 01:12:23 Jaema Berman: Outdoor concerts might be done if everyone stays in their cars! 01:12:29 Amber Alexander: We still can’t open to curbside in region 6. 01:12:33 Nakenya Lewis-Yarbrough: A drive in Movie in the parking lot would be fun 01:12:33 Cindi Place: Good idea Jema 01:12:43 Emily Blakowski: Thank you Cathy! 01:12:49 Amber Alexander: Drive In theater 01:12:51 Rebecca Kyes: I am working on plans to retro fit my Heritage Skills Workshop series into a driv-in theater style format. No one leaves the car. 01:12:51 Marissa Marquardson: We are not opening for curbside yet (in region 8) 01:13:15 Cindi Place: Yeah it was a library that had a drive up window 01:13:21 Mary Rice: If your community has cancelled outdoor concerts, your library might not want to do the opposite and have outdoor concerts. 01:13:28 Kay Williams: And how do you enforce it? 01:13:42 Amber Alexander: Have grant/friends purchase blow up theater. 01:13:43 Lisa Ryan: Staying in cars still presents restroom problems, especially if it is a movie or something longer. 01:13:44 Lynn Schofield-Dahl: performance rights for outside movie performances can be expensive. your standard movie license does not cover the rights 01:13:46 Jaema Berman: I agree Mary Rice! 01:13:50 Amanda Pierce: We discussed keeping our park story time, but how do you keep kids from coming to close, so we decided to cancel it this summer 01:13:56 Nakenya Lewis-Yarbrough: Mary you make a good point. 01:14:01 Emily Blakowski: I did not think of that. Thanks @Mary 01:14:45 Cathy Campbell: carpet squares for kids spacing may help 01:14:45 Eric Palmer: Thank you 01:14:51 Sam (NADL): My thoughts are with the Grace A. Dow Memorial Library 01:15:02 Eric Palmer: from Midland 01:15:04 Judith Kimpan: can you discuss how a successful curbside service works 01:15:04 Jaema Berman: Is there any idea when that work group that includes libraries will convene? 01:15:35 Rebecca Kyes: You can perhaps wear antebellum hoop skirts for outdoor story-time to keep kids at bay. 01:15:38 Jaema Berman: That will allow nlibraries to open/curbside? 01:15:43 Marissa Marquardson: I'm working on a sensory garden outside the library that kids can visit when they're on walks 01:15:46 Jocelyn Levin: @Rebecca HAHAHA 01:15:49 Emily Blakowski: Love that idea Rebecca! 01:16:04 Jaema Berman: ok, thanks! 01:16:16 Rebecca Hermen: <3 to Midland and the extended areas 01:16:18 Lisa Ryan: Does anyone have info on what type of turnout you are getting for your online presentations? Are enough people signing in? 01:16:40 Rebecca Hermen: @ Rebecca...I've seen that meme!! 01:16:55 Nisa Kesseler: @Lisa, we had a decent turnout for our trivia night 01:17:05 Cathy Campbell: we have regular story walk and a sign that says "not cleaned regularly" 01:17:11 Nisa Kesseler: we had about 12 participants 01:17:15 Sandra Bayerl: We have had more people join us for story time Live! 01:17:16 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: Is anyone conducting book clubs online? 01:17:17 a boyer: Online storytime is gong great for us! 01:17:18 Rebecca Hermen: Our FB storytime is less than in person, but we get 18-20 per session. 01:17:32 Nisa Kesseler: we did ours as a Zoom program 01:17:41 Teresa Natzke: We had a great turnout for our first virtual yoga class 01:17:46 Heather Hames: We've been doing online book club on zoom 01:17:48 Rebecca Hermen: We leave storytime up for 1 week. 01:17:48 Jaema Berman: we had 6 show up for Genealogy on Zoom this week! 01:17:56 Jamie Klos- Clarkston Independence District Library: We are having weekly storytimes and I'm getting more participants than normal... about 40 during and views after too! I think it helps that we say hi to the kids by name during the program. 01:18:05 Tara McCann: We are doing 4 storytimes on Facebook, each posted for a week 01:18:09 Rebecca Kyes: I did a live tour of the quilt show in our library that no one got to see because of timing--it was and is our most popular post. 01:18:19 Jamie Klos- Clarkston Independence District Library: *on Facebook live 01:18:22 Dixie Andres: LIVE storytime is hit and miss with LIVE attendance but lots of views later at their own time. 01:18:53 Chelsea McCoy: We are having a huge interest in a Bee program that we are doing for all ages on Thursday. It will be on Facebook Live. It is pre-recorded but we are premiering it at a specific time 01:19:13 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: @Heather What is your turn out like? What age group is it? 01:19:14 Rebecca Hermen: We co-hosted a Zoom based Rain Garden Program with Friends of the Rouge and had a around 80 people. 01:19:17 Jocelyn Levin: @Amber or @Rachel, it looks like you have "save chat" turned off. I've been saving all my chats to keep track of which meetings I'm attending. Is there a chance you can turn that on, please? 01:19:26 Erin Look: For those posting storytimes on YouTube, are you making the videos public? We are currently making them private, but have had requests from families who want to view them again. They currently are unable to view them because they are set to private and the link has been taken down. 01:19:29 Heather Hames: I use Eventbrite for registration if that helps anyone - easy link right from a F 01:19:29 Karen Dobson: On another note...Whitmer press conference allowing for all retail to open by appt only. Nothing mentioned about libraries. 01:19:35 Susan Bach: I'm looking for ways libraries are getting actual books to children while the library is closed? Any good ideas out there? 01:19:37 Heather Hames: Facebook event 01:20:03 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: @Karen also gatherings for groups of 10 or less with social distancing 01:20:23 Karen Dobson: @Marissa and dog grooming.. My puppy will be happy. 01:20:25 Amber Sheerin, MLA (she/her): Thank you. We will make sure chat is saved. 01:20:30 Lauren Baker: We have our stories on You Tube..they are not searchable but can be viewed more than once 01:20:33 Cindi Place: We created our own YouTube channel and then made the videos we put in the channel public, and gave patrons access to the channel. 01:20:41 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: @Karen lol 01:21:01 Heather Hames: We did the same with YouTube and have the stories 'unlisted' 01:21:10 Karen Dobson: And auto showrooms by appt if anyone is in need of a car. Still no mention about libraries. 01:21:10 Beth Pierson: Is there a way for us to save the chat? The save function seems to be turned off. 01:21:40 Cindi Place: Unfortunately the latest EO still requires Public Accommodations to be closed, which includes libraries and museums. 01:21:41 Erin Look: Thank you @Cindi, @Lauren, and @Heather 01:21:44 Lauren Baker: @Heather yes unlisted is the better than unsearchable! 01:22:13 Cindi Place: Once again, all great ideas! Thanks for this. 01:22:36 Rebecca Kyes: Thanks for all the great inspiration! 01:23:00 Nakenya Lewis-Yarbrough: Dragon Eggs Cool 01:23:03 Emily Blakowski: Agree with Kathy! 01:23:08 Emily Blakowski: *Cathy 01:23:08 Chelsea McCoy: That is incredible!!! 01:23:09 Melissa Shank: That's awesome!! 01:23:13 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: @Vickie that is so cool! 01:23:16 Lisa Ryan: Did anyone see on the news last night the library that is having kids call in and read to a librarian's pet? 01:23:16 Katie Badgley: WOW!!! 01:23:16 Ruth J: @Vickie Weyand - I've made some of those too! 01:23:18 Cindi Place: Is anyone else planning to have restrooms NOT available to the public (with the exception of a toddler who just can't hold it). 01:23:19 Liz Goble: Ooh!!! 01:23:30 Jocelyn Levin: Dragon egg Styrofoam egg with thumbtacks! 01:23:33 Amanda Pierce: We were doing those with our Harry Potter kids 01:23:42 Cindi Place: Dragon eggs can also have hotglue to make designs and then paint. 01:23:46 Holly Osentoski: I'm having my teens write letters to other Teen Advisory Boards across the country for volunteer hours 01:24:18 Jocelyn Levin: Great idea, Holly! 01:24:20 Cathy Lancaster, Library of Michigan : Great idea @Holly 01:24:33 Holly Osentoski: Thank you :) 01:24:33 Tracy Karbel: Thanks so much for the great ideas and information! 01:24:38 Teresa Natzke: Cindi Place. I don't believe you can keep your restrooms closed if you are open to the public. Because you are a public building you need to have restrooms available. 01:24:46 Kiel Stevens: Try searching for Harry Potter wand motions 01:24:56 Suzy Migrin: my kids used to do Harry Potter spell wars. 01:24:56 Lynn Schofield-Dahl: somewhere there is a chart that shows the harry Potter charts 01:25:06 Suzy Migrin: one was a referee. 01:25:18 Melissa Shank: Maybe try searching pretend spellcasting or Harry Potter spellcasting tutorial on youtube? 01:25:34 Eric Palmer: Thank you good session 01:25:47 Katie Badgley: use the wand to keep a balloon in the air 01:25:48 Sandra Bayerl: You can set up HP duels that play like Rock, Paper, Scissors. 01:25:55 Emily Blakowski: Thank you very much great session! 01:25:56 Nisa Kesseler: thank you everyone! 01:26:02 Beth Pierson: Thanks! 01:26:03 Jaema Berman: Thanks for all your ideas! 01:26:03 Cindi Place: I am aware if we offer foodservice we have to provide a bathroom. I will check with our health dept. Thanks for the input 01:26:08 Sharon Engelsman: Thank you everyone 01:26:28 Cathy Lancaster, Library of Michigan : My email is LancasterC5@Michigan.gov if you need to reach out/have questions! 01:26:40 Amber Sheerin, MLA (she/her): asherin@milibraries.org 01:26:43 Nakenya Lewis-Yarbrough: Thanks 01:26:47 Cathy Lancaster, Library of Michigan : The slides will be in: https://bit.ly/MiYouthMeetings 01:27:02 Cindi Place: Amber only one e in your email? 01:27:10 Lisa Ryan: Thank you and have a good day everyone! 01:27:11 Jeanette Smith: Thank you. Have a good week, everyone! 01:27:16 Dixie Andres: Thank you so much. This is my first year summer reading program initiation 2020. All of you have been so helpful and I've appreciated all the zoom meetings you have put on about summer reading. You guys are amazing! Thank you! 01:27:17 Marissa Lasoff-Santos: Thank you! 01:27:19 Jocelyn Levin: Thanks Amber, You're awesome! 01:27:20 Beth Lowe: Thank you! 01:27:23 Barbara Beaton: Thanks! 01:27:27 Liz Goble: Nice to see your faces! 01:27:29 Cathy Campbell: thank you everyone 01:27:29 Emily Temple: Thank you!
