Lied Scottsbluff Public Library named one of the Top 10 Children’s Libraries by Livability.com
Scottsbluff made the list!
Lied Scottsbluff Public Library in Scottsbluff, NE has been named one of the Top 10 Children’s Libraries by Livability.com, a national website that highlights more than 500 of America’s best places to live.
Livability.com editors looked at 500 communities across the country to find the best libraries for kids. The children’s libraries selected not only look amazing, they also offer great programs and get kids excited about reading, learning and exploring. Editors consulted several nationally recognized authorities on the subject of libraries and children’s literature, including the American Library Association, to determine criteria for the ranking. Among them: the library’s responsiveness to community’s needs.
“[A library] should be responsive to its community rather than beholden to some kind of national standard,” said Roger Sutton, editor in chief of The Horn Book, which reviews and tracks children’s and young adult literature. “The best libraries pay attention to their communities and the best librarians are those who really pay attention to the child in front of them, as well as the child who is not there but should be.”
The Lied Scottsbluff Public Library was chosen for its visually appealing spaces for children, full range of programs, large collection of books, integration of new technologies and proven success in getting kids to engage. Read more about why they made the list.
Congratulations to the Lied Scottsbluff Public Library!

NCompass Live: New Opportunities to Retain Wealth in Nebraska Communities: Transfer of Wealth Study – Recorded Online Session
In 2002, the Nebraska Community Foundation published the first statewide, county-by-county Transfer of Wealth study in the nation. Now, that pioneering study has been refreshed with 2010 Census data and updated methodology. According to the new study, about $230 billion will pass from one generation to the next in rural Nebraska over the next 50 years. Retaining even a small portion of that wealth for philanthropic purposes close to home is an historic opportunity for our state and for people who care deeply about the places they call home. Jeff Yost, President and CEO of the Nebraska Community Foundation, will address the new study and the massive opportunity it presents for building strong communities across Nebraska.

Best Facebook tip (so far) for fan engagement on your page
Have you ever added a link to the Facebook page you admin and been disappointed with the feed preview for the title of the article or the description? Here’s a very helpful video tutorial on how to change both that title and that description. Below that are steps I took to do the same on the Nebraska Librarians Learning Together page.
Before: What the post looks like with no alterations
Step 1. Insert the link
Step 2. Check the title and description. Are they what you want?
Step 2. Edit the title (catch your audience’s attention) and description (I deleted some text to get to the point)
Step 3. After you attach the link, say something about the link that will compel the audience to follow the link
Step 4. Post

NCompass Live: Hey Kids! Look What We’ve Got!: Effective Marketing to Tweens and Teens – Recorded Online Session
With the library taking a much deeper look at marketing itself in order to bring in patrons, this program will look specifically at the Teens and Tweens of the community and present effective means of marketing to them. Since this is a traditionally under served population in the library, we will be looking at what the research has to say for marketing to this group, as well as our own experiences with marketing to Teens and Tweens. Presented by Jake Rundle, Hastings Public Library.

Everything I Learned About Library Collaboration, I Learned from You – Recorded Live Presentation
Presented by Jo Budler, Kansas State Librarian.
Prior to her appointment in Kansas, she served as the Ohio State Librarian, and earlier as the deputy state librarian for the Library of Michigan. Jo is a former Nebraskan and was the director of Network Services and NEBASE at the Nebraska Library Commission. She holds a master’s in library science and a master’s of fine arts in Writers’ Workshop, both from the University of Iowa.
She received national attention in the eBook arena for negotiations with OverDrive regarding fees that she felt were “unreasonable, unsustainable and unacceptable” which has resulted in exploration of a beta product with another vendor.

Online access becomes an essential public library service
From NETradio
NELIGH, NE (NET Radio) – Inside the Neligh Public Library, a tall woman in a small chair reads aloud about a magic dragon to a boy and girl, their mouths agape. As expressive as her performance is, two pre-teen boys sitting at the computer nearby pay no attention. The kids’ online role-playing game consumes them, as they attempt to get an animated dog to follow their cartoon avatar, or character.
At the tables near the check-out desk, Shannon Wilson takes a chair in front of another computer and logs into her email account. She lives just about half a block away.
“It’s really nice to just run down the alley and check my emails from my son in Afghanistan,” she said gratefully.

NCompass Live: Growing Our Future, Community Engagement – Recorded Online Session
UNO believes part of our future lies in looking farther than our own campus for new partners. By being accessible to not only the academic community, but also to the wider Omaha community, we are building a bridge to our future. UNO has a history as the Omaha metropolitan university and being very active in the community. To that end, Criss Library has formed a community engagement link with Girls Inc. of Omaha and the UNO Teachers Education Department library science classes to create functional libraries for both the north and south campuses of Girls Inc. This session will detail the first steps already taken in this three year agreement and will offer ideas to other libraries how they, too, can build a future with their wider community.

Being proactive in your community with Google Alerts
I’m back in the office from both the Wyoming and Nebraska Library Association conferences before heading off to Internet Librarian at the end of the week. After just two of my three conferences this month (two in which I’m a speaker, and one I helped to run) my head is already buzzing with ideas and evil plans to implement in the future.
One of the biggest concepts running through my head right now was re-kindled by the NLA keynote presentation by Jamie LaRue. I kept shaking my head up and down and mumbling “yes” under my breath as he stressed the need for libraries to become more proactive and to reach out to their communities. Through this reaching out, we can make ourselves important in the eyes of the community and those with control over the things we depend on, like, oh, let’s say, the money.
So, I’m going to take this opportunity to flesh out something I mentioned in my Google Secrets presentation at WLA; how you can use Google Alerts to be proactive in your community.
Step one: Make sure you have a Google Account.
Step two: Figure out just what people in your community are interested.
This is probably the toughest step. I’m not saying figure that our for everyone. Focus. Is there a downtown redevelopment project going on? Is the city council working on deciding which streets to resurface? Is the mayor looking to increase the use of technology in the area of public safety? Find a combination of topic and person/people in which you can do some basic research for them.
Step four: Do some Google searches for the topic that you’ve picked. You may need to do a few to figure out the best search for the results you’re looking for. A few false positives aren’t that bad, you just want to limit them as much as possible. Besides a general search, try more specific news, blogs, video, and discussion searches. One of these might provide better results than searching the whole web. Once you’ve found the right search syntax, copy it for later pasting.
Step three: Head over to www.gooogle.com/alerts and this form:
On this page, paste your search into the search box and preview the results to make sure you’re getting what you’re expecting. Then choose the type of search, how often you’d like it re-searched, how many results you’d like, and where to deliver it. (This last one can be to your e-mail address, or as an RSS feed which you will then need to subscribe to.)
Step four: Sit back and wait for the results to start coming in.
Step five: Each week, for example, pick out the best of the results you’ve received and forward them on in an e-mail to the person you’re trying to help. Yes, there’s a chance that they’ll say “please stop sending this to me” but more likely, if you do this right, they’ll appreciate your efforts and look forward to your updates which save them both time and effort.
In the long run you can set up as many search alerts as you’d like and can manage your alerts to change things such as the delivery method, the search syntax, and even delete them if they’re no longer needed.
So, take a little time and be proactive in your community. If you already are, add Google Alerts to your arsenal. If not, here’s a simple way to get started.

New Report on Community Involvement and a Way to Earn Board C.E. Credit
We hear pretty often from library board members who are looking for ways to earn C.E. credits for board certification. Here’s one—read the recent 20-page report from the International City/County Management Association titled “Maximize the Potential of Your Public Library” (available in .PDF at http://icma.org/en/icma/knowledge_network/documents/kn/Document/302161/ Maximize_the_Potential_of_Your_Public_Library) It says, “This new report and accompanying case studies provide examples and instructive guides on how public libraries in jurisdictions large and small are partnering with local governments and organizations to develop innovative solutions for important strategic community initiatives.”
Each board member who reads the report can earn 1 C.E. credit. And if library directors or staffers want to read the report, each of them can earn 1 C.E. credit toward their own librarian certification.
You can check public library board certification status at: http://www.nlc.state.ne.us/trustees/CertStatus.asp.
Any questions? Contact Laura Johnson, 402.471.2694 or 800.307.2665 or via email.
