Empathy: The Secret Sauce in Effective Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (Charity Village)

Empathy is our first point of meaningful connection to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts.

But what if we’re only scratching the surface? What if we reconsider empathy as an important skill for effective DEI design, development, and implementation? This webinar explores these questions and shows us how different ways of thinking about empathy can help sweeten the sauce, and bring about more impactful DEI.

Is it Time to Scrap the C.R.A.A.P. Test? Using Formative Assessment to Improve Students’ Resource Selection Skills (edWeb.net)

Distinguishing truth from disinformation is only a small part of a larger problem. Students frequently rely on shallow reference materials as core sources for research, treat 2-minute news clips as in-depth journalism, and fail to distinguish between reportage and opinion articles. Lecturing students about these shortcomings rarely helps, but providing meaningful feedback on research checkpoints (e.g., research questions, works cited lists, and thesis statements) can be instructionally effective. Join Michelle Luhtala as she shares replicable lessons and instructional materials to help learners improve their inquiry skills.

‘Refreshed’ Downtown Olympia Library Reopened to the Public on Monday

• By Rolf Boone / The Olympian
• Feb 3, 2020

 The Olympia Timberland Library reopens to the public on Monday after being closed for two months for a modest renovation.

Monday is expected to be a busy day for the branch on Eighth Avenue Southeast, library manager Morgan Sohl said Thursday during a tour of the space.

The library typically sees about 700 people per day, and it could be higher than normal since patrons have been without their branch for so long, she said.

Some customers will head straight to the computers, and some will check their book holds, Sohl said. Some patrons also might be puzzled and ask, “What exactly changed?”

Library officials emphasized Thursday that the branch didn’t undergo a major renovation, but was “refreshed” at a cost of $250,000 — $225,000 from Timberland Regional Library and $25,000 from the city of Olympia. The branch is a city-owned building.

Sohl said the focus of the work was on ensuring the library meets the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and offering “comfort for our patrons.”

The result is new and increased seating throughout the branch, more carpeting, new paint and reducing the library staff presence with two main desks, instead of three. Now, upon entering, patrons will see a welcome desk and an information desk. For returns, patrons will use an indoor drop box, making returns a largely behind-the-scenes function, Sohl said.

Book shelves have been rearranged and the computers are in a new area, too. There have been no changes to book labeling and staff will be on hand to help patrons find what they’re looking for, she said.

The branch employs 27.

The current library opened in 1979, replacing the Carnegie Building at Seventh and Franklin. The library underwent extensive renovations in 2000 and 2008, according to library information.

Sohl said some of the seating that was replaced over the winter dated to the 1970s.

Prior to the closure at the end of November, there were concerns about those patrons who frequented the library to get out of the rain and cold weather. And while it has been unusually wet during the remodeling, the county issued only one “hazardous weather” advisory because of the cold, which triggered expanded shelter capacity.

Up Next, Lacey and Aberdeen

Other library renovations are coming down the pipeline.

Lacey Timberland Library will close for a few weeks next fall for a $370,000 interior remodel, and the Aberdeen branch is set for changes that could take place in late fall or in 2021, Timberland spokeswoman Michelle Larson said.

The 20,000-square-foot branch at 500 College St. SE in Lacey opened in 1991. Nearly 30 years later, the service desks are worn out and library staff need greater flexibility to serve customers, library manager Holly Paxson told The Olympian in December.

The main customer counter will be replaced with five adjustable-height service desks. Other changes: an expanded adult services area, a new return station and book drop, a dedicated check-in area, and a single-occupancy family restroom.

The branch is expected to close for four to six weeks during the fall remodel, but part of it may be able to reopen during construction, Paxson said.

Ellensburg Public Library offers resources to homeschool parents

• By JACK BELCHER staff writer
• Jan 15, 2020

For homeschool parents, the public library often serves as a resource room providing materials critical to their child’s education.

With that in mind last week the Ellensburg Public Library hosted a Homeschool Fair at the Hal Holmes Community Center.

The fair was organized by Sue Hart, children’s librarian with the Ellensburg Public Library, as a way to fill a need for the community.

 “We are the heart of the community and it is our job to provide for the community,” Hart said. “Homeschool families really rely on the library and it’s (the fair) a way to hear what families might need and for people to meet each other so we can be a stronger community together.”

Hart said that Ellensburg Public Library Director Josephine Camarillo asked her to organize the Homeschool Fair because of Hart’s history with homeschooling her own son. She said that she decided to homeschool her son because of his personality. She took advantage of school and library resources and then moved her son into public school when he was a freshman in high school.

Homeschool parent Anna Webster was at the fair with her four children, Zach, age 9, Levi 14, and her twins Melonye and Lillian, 7. Webster said she has always homeschooled her kids, and she has no plans to move them into a public school at any point in their lives unless they make the decision themselves.

Webster said that she doesn’t have faith in the school system because of her experience in it as a kid. She said that a teacher was physically inappropriate with her as a child and made fun of her dyslexia.

Webster said she thought this event was great because it gives her children a chance to socialize with others. With different activities for different ages, her kids don’t have to travel together around the event, and instead do what they want.

Another parent, Clare Hyde, was at the fair with her 5-year-old daughter Mary. Mary has been homeschooled since the start of the official school year in September. Hyde said that she decided to homeschool because she believes Mary can receive a better education at home, where she can learn at her own pace. She also said that she is not trusting of other schools or their “propaganda.”

“We don’t believe in evolution, and a lot of times when I was in school, I saw a lot of anti-Catholic stuff which was against what we believe,” Hyde said.

She also said that while she does believe taking care of the environment is important, schools take the idea to a much larger degree. “The schools focus so much on it that they created something almost like a religion.” She also does not approve of sex education in schools.

Hyde said one of the appeals of homeschooling Mary was that Mary could learn at her own pace. They only spend an hour a day sitting down and learning, but Hyde said that Mary already reads at the first-grade level.

Hyde said she is confident in being able to give her child a proper education, because she has “an education in education” because she went to college for it.

Hyde said that the dream is to move Mary to an all-girls school in Idaho sometime in the spring. Even though she loves homeschooling she believes that this would be the best option for Mary’s education.

The fair offered activities for students such as cup stacking, educational magazines, coloring books, a book exchange and more. Hart pointed out homeschool families had access to all the library’s resources, most helpful of which were the librarians themselves.

Hart said the library tries to have a homeschool fair every year, although they were not able to organize one for 2019 because they simply didn’t have time for it.

Libraries say farewell to overdue fines

• Jan 8, 2020

Local systems: Goal is to allow full access

WHATCOM ­— The public libraries in Bellingham and of the Whatcom County Library System said farewell to overdue fines, effective Jan. 2 of the new year.

They claim to be joining a nationwide trend to eliminate charging people for returning library materials after the due date. The change is to try to make sure everyone has access to library books and services — as the central point of their existence.

 “We want to welcome people back to the library, people who may have been avoiding the library or are blocked from using the library because they have overdue fines or because they are concerned about accruing fines,” said Marvin Waschke, chair of WCLS Board of Trustees.

It means everyone now has a clean slate.

While overdue fines may be an inconvenience for some, for others it may be a financial barrier to using the library.

 These are some facts about the change:

•    In the Whatcom County Library System, 8,422 cardholders (8.6% of total) owed $10 or more and were blocked, as of November 2019. With the clearing of the books, those cardholders now have full access again to check out materials.
•    Most borrowers return their materials on time. Across the two library systems in 2019, the on-time return rate was 93.1 percent, and the rate will still be tracked for future comparison purposes. Based on the experiences of other libraries, a significant change in the rate is not expected.
•    Patrons will still be charged a replacement cost for unreturned or damaged items and will have their borrowing privileges suspended after a certain balance is reached.
•    Fines make up just a small share of operating budgets, and fines collected have decreased steadily for both library systems for the past few years. At the 10-branch WCLS, fines collected represent .6% of the total system budget.

That’s Not Funny! Or is it? (National Network of Libraries of Medicine)

To be truly socially just do you have to eradicate humor? I don’t think so! Let a trained professional explain how humor works and how it offends other people. Cultural appropriation, stereotypes, and harmful attempts at humor are not required to have a successful event. How can we plan better, intervene when something isn’t right, and take responsibility for harm in our communities? If we think before we joke – we can still joke.

Information Hunters: When Librarians, Soldiers, and Spies Banded Together in World War II Europe (U.S. National Archives)

While armies have seized enemy records and rare texts as booty throughout history, it was only during World War II that an unlikely band of librarians, archivists, and scholars traveled abroad to collect books and documents to aid the military cause. They collected enemy texts, followed advancing armies to capture records, and seized Nazi works from bookstores and schools. When the war ended, they found and helped restitute looted collections hidden in cellars and caves. In Information Hunters, cultural historian Kathy Peiss reveals how book and document collecting became part of the new apparatus of intelligence and national security, military planning, and postwar reconstruction.

Quick Play Gaming for Teen Outreach (Indiana State Library)

Teen patrons in every community live lives that are more and more hectic with little spare time and sometimes shrinking awareness of libraries and what they have to offer. It is sometimes the case that to engage them the best thing to do is to go where they are. In the community of Hagerstown, IN, a significant part of that has been accomplished by going into the high school and with the development of a program called the Quick Play Game Club. The program began over three years ago, originally as an International Gaming Day event that was highly successful, working in partnership with the school. This webinar will cover how the game club began, the process of working with the school staff and finding a place in that very set daily schedule and how it has evolved into a twice monthly outreach program, the games used and the tips and rules that have made it fun for everyone.
