Library staff member holding grant certificate
Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Library is among 141 Wisconsin libraries and school districts who will receive nearly $3 million in 2021 TEchnology for Educational ACHievement (TEACH) Information Technology Infrastructure grants. 

“It is critically important that Wisconsinites across the state have access to high-quality educational resources,” said Department of Administration (DOA) Secretary Joel Brennan. “Many rural libraries and schools often do not have the funds available to invest in their technology infrastructures to ensure that accessibility and the opportunities that come with it.”

Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Library will receive $210 in TEACH funds. “The Sister Bay/Liberty Grove branch has a beautiful outdoor garden space where many activities take place during good weather,” said branch manager Christina Johnson. “The new access point provided with TEACH grant will make it possible to have good quality internet which is so important to daily life. We’ve seen a big demand increase over the past few years, and this will expand the WiFi coverage into the garden, bringing more connectivity to our community which is greatly needed.”

CCBC Choices 2021: Two Tools to Choose New Books for Children & Teens

3/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Here are two things to help you choose new books to add to your library’s youth & teen collection this spring.

The Workshops
The annual CCBC Choices workshops will be webinars:
  • Great New Books for Birth - Grade 5
    9-10am on Thursday, March 11
    Register here
  • Great New Books for Older Children and Teens
    9-10am on Thursday, March 25
    Register here
Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) librarians Merri Lindgren and Megan Schliesman will talk about great books for youth that were published last year, highlighting selected titles from the CCBC Choices 2021 booklet.

Both webinars will be recorded if you’re not available to attend them live. They can be found at ccbc.education.wisc.edu/education-outreach/online-presentation-archive/.

The Booklet
CCBC Choices 2021, the Cooperative Children’s Book Center’s annual list recommending 257 books for children and teens published in 2020, is available in two formats:
  • PDF – you may download and print it, so you can jot notes while watching the webinars
  • CCBC-Recommended Book Search database – search by keyword, subject, title & author, and filter by age, diversity subject, content type, and format.
The annual CCBC Choices list was for decades published as a fully-annotated booklet, though the paper version is not available this year due to challenges brought by the pandemic (details here.) Staff are hoping and planning for a return to a physical booklet next year.

The Cooperative Children's Book Center, located on the UW-Madison campus, serves as a children's literature library for adults, a book examination center, and a research library.

Statement from Dr. Seuss Enterprises

3/3/2021

0 Comments

 
The statement below is taken from www.seussville.com/statement-from-dr-seuss-enterprises/.
PictureImage 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."
