Winners received their choice of a Halloween Candy or a spooky spider ring. Everyone got a glow in the dark bracelet to take home and when the games were over everyone got to pick out a candy or ring!!

Scott County Library also had a booth at the West Plains Extension District Fall Fest where fest goers got to dig thru a tub full of corn for an itty bitty book! Once the book was found, they received a pencil and got to pick one of two books.

From Amazon: The need to belong is innate and enduring, yet often elusive. Genuine belonging requires a bold approach, one that offers both depth and credibility to the work required from leaders whose organizations are craving a sense of connection, security, and acceptance.

Belonging Rules offers nuanced, direct guidance for navigating both the pre-existing and ever-evolving social and organizational demands of today’s workplace. The five rules within, based on extensive research and application, create a framework to dissect and decode the complex, complicated, and controversial issues of the modern workforce.

Rolla Library Happenings

From Librarian Phoebe Brummett: A trio of readers from Rolla traveled to Emporia to attend the annual William Allen White celebration on October 6 and 7. Earning this trip required the readers to read nine to twelve WAW books and pass the accelerated reader tests with an 80% or above the previous school year. The young ladies and their sponsors, Phoebe Brummett and Becky Sohm, were educated a little more about Mr. White as they toured his home in Emporia. The group then went to Peter Pan Park for some outside recreation before having supper at Pizza Ranch and retiring for the evening at the youth center. After a relatively restful night’s sleep, Saturday began with all the fun activities for children at Emporia State University. There were activities for all ages, including but not limited to writing to the authors, crafts, bumper balls, silent dance party, Kahoots, robotics races and more before meeting the winning authors and attending the celebration. Maria Wall, sixth grade, was in attendance for the first time and her favorite part was all the activities. Charlotte Wood, sixth grade, was in attendance for the second time, and her favorite part was not having to present the awards to the authors in front of the 300 attendees. Judith Wall, fifth grade, seemed to enjoy every aspect of the events. Becky Sohm, who has attended multiple times, loved meeting the authors and walking through the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve on the way home. Phoebe Brummett was just thankful they made it there and back safely and that all seemed to have a good time. Readers are already preparing to earn the trip for next year.

Ness City Public Library Shares Holiday Programming Idea

From Assistant Librarian Laurie Dinges: We are having a fall story time called “Holiday Leftovers” and are using it to try to use leftover odds and ends. I am including an attachment of the flier and a picture of a game I put together that I call “Feeding the turkeys”. It is made from inexpensive cornhole boards that I covered with poster boards of turkey faces and the kids could toss the bean bags into the turkey’s mouth. They seemed to really enjoy it.

Accreditation Applications and Technology Plans

Just a reminder again that the end of October is when your library’s Accreditation Applications and Technology Plans are due. This process is for the years 2024 & 2025. The application page on the System’s website is here through this link. No changes have been made for this application term. The commitment to following the requirements, for accreditation, are the same as the last application period.

Remember that your library’s Technology Plan is part of the Accreditation Application now. Please send your updated Technology Plan to Steve (sandrews@swkls.org) so the Tech Team can review your plan and make any adjustments they need to make and then you can present the whole packet (Accreditation Application & Technology Plan) to your library board for approval and to sign off on both documents.

Both documents need to be turned in by October 31. This allows the Accreditation Committee to review the applications and technology plans for approval. If there happens to be a question on a library’s application and/or technology plan then it can be relayed back to the library for explanation before the end of the year. This allows the committee to reevaluate and approve before the start of 2024.

Niche Academy Q & A 101 Webinar

Niche Academy is providing a free webinar entitled “Q & A 101: Interview Questions and Answers”, on October 18, at 1:00 pm CT. This webinar looks at how if a person is looking for a job position. However, the session can be used for possible employers to get ideas for questions when conducting an interview.

“…the interview is a nerve-racking hour of questions. At worst, it seems like an interrogation that may last for hours leaving you exhausted at the end. You can reduce your anxiety by preparing for the interview; specifically, think about the questions you might be asked and formulate your answers ahead of time.

Join Melissa Lockaby to hear some common interview questions and their answers – and get a better idea of what prospective employers are looking for in your responses. You’ll also have a chance to share some of the questions you’ve been asked so you know how to reply the next time you apply for a job.”

From Amazon: Misinformation affects all of us on a daily basis—from social media to larger political challenges, from casual conversations in supermarkets, to even our closest relationships. While we recognize the dangers that misinformation poses, the problem is complex—far beyond what policing social media alone can achieve—and too often our limited solutions are shaped by partisan politics and individual interpretations of truth.

In Misbelief, preeminent social scientist Dan Ariely argues that to understand the irrational appeal of misinformation, we must first understand the behavior of “misbelief”—the psychological and social journey that leads people to mistrust accepted truths, entertain alternative facts, and even embrace full-blown conspiracy theories. Misinformation, it turns out, appeals to something innate in all of us—on the right and the left—and it is only by understanding this psychology that we can blunt its effects. Grounded in years of study as well as Ariely’s own experience as a target of disinformation, Misbelief is an eye-opening and comprehensive analysis of the psychological drivers that cause otherwise rational people to adopt deeply irrational beliefs. Utilizing the latest research, Ariely reveals the key elements—emotional, cognitive, personality, and social—that drive people down the funnel of false information and mistrust, showing how under the right circumstances, anyone can become a misbeliever.

New to our Equipment Collection is this PeriPage A6 Mini Thermal Printer. It can print labels, photos, QR codes, webpages, and more! Users must download the PeriPage app before using.

It uses BlueTooth to connect wirelessly to your smart phone or a USB cable to connect to your PC.

Fully portable, it’s designed to be used on the go. This printer uses a rechargeable battery and comes with several rolls of thermal paper. To request this mini printer, check our VERSO for availabilty, then call our office or email Steve, sandrews@swkls.org or Sara, swilson@swkls.org.

In Case You Missed It – ILL Survey for KLA Conference

From University of Kansas Libraries Resource Sharing Librarian Lars Leon:

Dear Kansas ILL Colleagues:

I’m gathering another round of ideas to share back with the Kansas ILL community. First up will be a conversation at KLA Conference (Thursday afternoon 11/2). Come on by! I realize some can’t make KLA so I will share back information afterwards (and before winter holidays). Please help by submitting ideas at my survey https://kusurvey.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8eJjtt3E8fQGzrM by Oct. 16. Apologies if you’ve seen this email – trying to reach out to everyone.

As always, be sure and contact Nikki directly for SHAREit and Caroline for courier related issues. If anyone submits an idea related to those areas I will pass to them.

You can complete as many of the survey questions as you’d like. I’m asking things such as:

-What’s something you’re doing that really helps what you need to do (something fairly related to ILL)?

-Describe an issue you’d like help with?

-I’ve added a few questions specific to what might be pretty hot topics — borrowing electronic materials? Any type of materials challenging to obtain for your patrons? Copyright issues?

-If you were to give 3 to 6 hours over a year to help Kansas ILL (beyond the great service you’re providing) what can that be?

-If you’re not participating in the Kansas Library Express courier I’d love to capture why. I will share anonymous aggregated counts with Caroline at NEKLS (who helps manage courier).

-Interested in helping me compile survey responses? Present at KLA? Another way?

Thank you for considering this invitation.

Lars

From Amazon: “Wondering what your library can do for your community’s immigrant population? This book is replete with resources, tips, and suggestions providing valuable guidance to librarians who want to better serve this still-growing part of America’s population.

This up-to-date guide to developing and implementing a wide variety of services to immigrants and new Americans focuses on the practical steps of creating and promoting programs. Illustrated by success stories in libraries throughout the country, the book discusses both traditional (ESOL and citizenship classes) and transformative (legal aid and workforce development) programs and services in terms of size, type, and local political climate (e.g., sanctuary cities) at a variety of public libraries as well as in select school libraries.

As changes unfold in regard to how the federal government and local communities view and treat immigrants and new Americans in their midst, this topic deserves a fresh take from the profession. The author meets that need, providing practical ideas that range from creating more accessible websites and improving wayfaring and customer service in order to overcome cultural roadblocks to dealing with backlash in communities as libraries extend outreach and partnership-building goals.”

From Amazon: “Developing programs for learners can be an ongoing challenge for librarians – especially first-year librarians. Current books on the topic primarily focus on makerspaces or read alouds, and are aimed at elementary school grades, with a surface-level approach. This book addresses deeper issues that librarians face, while illustrating how to serve teens and tweens specifically by offering programming relevant to their lives.

The authors offer practical ideas for developing effective programming through collaborating with the community to develop and implement programs, connecting programs to ISTE Standards and curriculum, and addressing curricular and socio-emotional needs. They also share practical advice on budgeting and funding to support programs, scheduling, maximizing the use of technology to aid in programming and much more. The book also explores ways library programs can have a positive impact on school culture, such as addressing the digital divide, inclusion and cultural relevance.”

From Amazon: “Promote lifelong reading and library use with these exciting programs for infants, toddlers, and their families, and enhance children’s capacity for learning with a myriad of stories, songs, and sing-alongs! Anyone who works with the very young will delight in this charming treasury of age-appropriate programming ideas for children from as young as 6 months through age 3. Unlike many other children’s programming guides, this one takes a literature-based approach, offering a dynamic mix of stimulating activities that center around books and give young children a head start on literacy. PreK.

You’ll find everything you need to run magnificent literature-based children’s programs. For each age level (6-11 months, 12-23 months, 24-36 months, 36-48 months), the authors present eight complete programs and provide specific instructions and guidance for working with each group. Adults will have as much fun as the children with such programs as Wiggle, Jiggle, and Bounce, Oink, Cluck, Moo, 1, 2, 3 Count With Me, and Monster Mash. A chapter on Family Fun addresses working with diverse ages and features eight family programs. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced children’s programmer, this book will help you offer quality programming and foster lifelong literacy in your community.”

Merlin and His Teachings on Secure Passwords

Once upon a time in the digital kingdom of Cyberspace, there was a wise old wizard named Merlin. Merlin was known far and wide for his knowledge of magic and his ability to protect the secrets of the realm. He was particularly skilled in safeguarding one of the most precious treasures in Cyberspace – the Kingdom’s sensitive information.

One fateful day, the King of Cyberspace summoned Merlin to his throne room. “Merlin,” said the King, “I have heard rumors of dark forces plotting to infiltrate our kingdom and steal our most valuable data. We must take measures to fortify our defenses.”

Merlin, being a wise and experienced wizard, knew exactly what needed to be done. He set out to educate the citizens of the kingdom about the importance of strong and secure passwords.

He gathered the people in the town square, where he spoke passionately about the art of creating unbreakable passwords. “A strong password,” he declared, “is like a magical incantation that only the rightful owner can utter. It must be crafted with care, containing a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters, and should be long enough to withstand the most powerful of attacks.”

The citizens listened intently, realizing the gravity of the situation. They understood that their digital treasures – from personal messages to bank accounts – relied on the strength of their passwords.

Merlin continued his teachings, urging the people to avoid easily guessable passwords like “123456” or “password.” Instead, he encouraged them to choose phrases or combinations that held personal meaning. “The more unique and complex your password, the safer your digital kingdom will be,” he emphasized.

To make it easier for the citizens, Merlin enchanted a magical tool called the “KeePass.” This mystical artifact helped people generate, store, and manage their passwords securely. It ensured that they never had to resort to using weak or easily guessable combinations.

As the days passed, the people of Cyberspace took Merlin’s teachings to heart. They crafted passwords that were as strong as the castle walls and as impenetrable as the deepest dungeons. The kingdom’s defenses grew stronger, and the dark forces found it increasingly difficult to breach their walls.

Word of Cyberspace’s success spread throughout the digital realm. Other kingdoms sought Merlin’s guidance, and soon, the entire online world was abuzz with the importance of secure passwords.

And so, the legend of Merlin and his teachings on secure passwords became a cornerstone of digital safety for generations to come. The citizens of Cyberspace lived happily ever after, knowing that their treasures were well-guarded against any who sought to do them harm. And they all knew that it was thanks to the wise old wizard and his invaluable lessons in password security.
