The statement below is taken from www.seussville.com/statement-from-dr-seuss-enterprises/.  Image Source: Seussville.com "Today, on Dr. Seuss’s Birthday, Dr. Seuss Enterprises celebrates reading and also our mission of supporting all children and families with messages of hope, inspiration, inclusion, and friendship.
We are committed to action. To that end, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, working with a panel of experts, including educators, reviewed our catalog of titles and made the decision last year to cease publication and licensing of the following titles: And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, If I Ran the Zoo, McElligot’s Pool, On Beyond Zebra!, Scrambled Eggs Super!, and The Cat’s Quizzer. These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong. Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’s catalog represents and supports all communities and families."

For each of the last six years, Wisconsin’s Digital Library has seen steady usage growth between 10% and 20%, highlighting the value of public library lending of ebooks and digital audiobooks. This year, with access to physical library buildings limited throughout the state and many school districts teaching students virtually due to the pandemic, the digital library’s importance to the residents of Wisconsin was even more clear. New users of the library jumped 30% and checkouts increased nearly 20% over 2019.

Building Your Data Confidence
In an era of data-driven decision making, what does it really mean to strategically use data to support your work? Join Kim Kiesewetter of WiLS for a two-part series on research and data specifically tailored to library workers. Part 1: By March 15, watch an archived one-hour webinar and read two reports on the foundations of research and data. Part 2: On Tuesday, March 16, from 9:00 AM - noon, participants will join together for an interactive virtual workshop to dig in and explore your library's "data ecosystem.” The workshop begins with participants finding and using library data and ends with building together a scenario that illustrates how to apply data locally. Application is required. Due by 5:00 PM, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 No prior data knowledge is required. There is no cost to applicants chosen to participate in the training.  From the Research Institute for Public Libraries (RIPL) Team:
"This free webinar series, which is open to anyone (not just RIPL alums), features five sessions from the 2020 event, remade into 90-minute live webinars and 60-minute follow-up recorded lessons for those who want to dive deeper into the topics. So, if you missed one of these sessions in December, now is your opportunity to take it in a live setting. Similar to the RIPL 2020 event, these will NOT be webinars where you listen to a talking head the whole time; instead, please come ready to participate in a variety of interactive learning activities, some of which will occur in small groups in breakout rooms. Here is the schedule – go to https://ripl.lrs.org/ripl-data-boot-camp/ to learn more about each webinar and register:

Knowing life happens, Brown County Library is offering fine forgiveness during the week of December 7-12, 2020.
Whether overdue library items are few days late or a few years late, fines for items returned during Amnesty Week will be waived. “If having overdue items are keeping people from coming back to the library, we want to change that! This amnesty program encourages the return of library materials - no questions asked,” said Sarah Sugden, the Library’s Executive Director. Items returned must be in good, usable condition. As a convenience, items can be returned to an outdoor book drop. Fine forgiveness applies only to items returned from December 7–12 and does not apply to existing fines or items borrowed through Interlibrary Loan. For additional information call 920-448-4400 or visit www.browncountylibrary.org ### |
