From WI Libraries for Everyone: Thursday, April 23, 2020
​
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Division for Libraries and Technology is supporting libraries and library users by launching a new statewide online reading challenge platform and mobile app to support summer library programming in 2020 and beyond. The Division will award a discretionary grant for nearly $327,000 to the Wisconsin Valley Library Service to contract with Beanstack on behalf of Wisconsin public libraries. Over the course of three years, this statewide procurement will save over $761,000 when compared to local libraries procuring this service individually. The contract will run through 2023.

Being Still in an Emergency with Beck Tench (Webinar)

4/23/2020

0 Comments

 
DPI’s Division for Libraries and Technology is proud to bring Beck Tench to Wisconsin for a one-hour webinar on how to take care of ourselves in this time of COVID-19.

Webinar: Being Still in an Emergency
Tuesday, May 5, 1-2 PM
No registration required. Simply login: 
Join Microsoft Teams Meeting (Updated 5/4/2020) or call in: 608-620-9781(toll); Conference ID: 710 600 689#

We are in an emergency, a worldwide emergency, and the recommend course of action for most of us to stay put, to be still. That seems counterintuitive given our understanding of the word “emergency," but if we consider its original meaning, emergere in Latin, or “to bring to light,” we find another possible meaning for this time: emergence. With this new understanding, being still may make more sense. In this talk, we will learn ways to be still, discuss why it is so hard, and reflect on what COVID-19 may be bringing to light in larger society and also in our own lives.
​
Beck Tench is a wife, daughter, friend, teacher, gardener, cyclist, kind stranger, and PhD student at the University of Washington Information School. She studies how to restore and have greater agency over our attention in a culture driven to distraction by the attention economy. She helps libraries become one of those rare places where we slow down and notice the world, our inner life, and each other.
This webinar will be recorded and captioned and available to watch afterward.

National Library Week: New Graphics and Tools for a Virtual Celebration (Libraries Transform)

4/15/2020

0 Comments

 

National Library Week is April 19-25, 2020

National Library Week is Aprl 19-25, 2020
The theme for National Library Week (NLW) 2020, “Find your place at the library,” was chosen before the COVID-19 pandemic forced most libraries to temporarily close their physical spaces. Most people can’t visit their libraries in person, but libraries are still very much open for business. To celebrate that, ALA flipped the script a bit on the theme. “Find the library at your place” highlights how libraries are offering virtual services and digital content their communities need now more than ever. You are free to use any of the NLW materials with either theme. If your library plans to participate in NLW, please use the hashtags #NationalLibraryWeek and #LibrariesStrong to bring attention to the valuable role libraries are continuing to play.
 
The new “Find the library at your place” digital graphics and media tools in English and Spanish are available for download on the National Library Week webpage. For libraries that don’t have plans yet for NLW, or are unsure about how they can get involved this year, check out ALA's 20 Easy Ways to Participate in NLW 2020 tip sheet. ALA also has new Because statements that are relevant in our time of social distancing that can be posted to websites and social media.
