13:00:21 From Mary Driscoll : 👋 13:00:27 From Samsung Galaxy J3 to Jean Anderson(Privately) : Hi Shawn, I'm here with no video or microphone. Ancient desktop computer. But I can see everyone and hear everyone. 13:02:23 From Catherine Baer : Taking out the trash 13:02:24 From Karen Wendt : Nearly every day, take a walk and often a 3 hour hike. Love it. Sanity! 13:02:30 From Mary Ostrander : I also have two dogs! 13:02:31 From Michelle Veeneman : mountain biking and walking 13:02:32 From Heather Kent : Ran most of 26.2 marathon this weekend (had to speed walk the last 8 miles due to hip pain) but still good. First sun burn of the spring. 13:02:32 From Lynn Montague : I have 4 minions to run after ;) 13:02:33 From Emily Henneman : I need to get out more! 13:02:36 From Raechel Schink : Walking around the block playing Wizards Unite! 13:02:43 From Wendy Borden : walking the dog! 13:02:43 From Patty Hoggatt : Mailbox and walks 13:02:45 From Kerry Preece : since the weather has taken a turn been inside. hope to get out soon though. miss our afternoon walks. 13:02:47 From Whitney Parrillo : Feeding chickens, turkeys, and calves, and getting my garden ready 13:02:50 From Julie Harrison : Walking, running and biking. Missing the warmer weather we had been having! 13:03:08 From Kelly Allen : Walking 13:03:09 From JODY DELAGARDELLE : yesterday I only got 1500 steps on my fitbit. Tooo cold outside. 13:03:13 From Bethany Hultgren : My husband and I were going for walks, but since it's been cold. I've been jogging in place with his video game character in Final Fantasy character. 13:03:13 From Beth VanCurine : We’re doing walks when we can, but since it’s been so cold, we’ve been doing a lot of exercising at home. (And finally took the coats off of the coat rack, I mean elliptical machine, that we bought three years ago that we’ve only used a few times) hahah 13:03:18 From Amanda Bosky : Walks when not too cold. Online yoga classes 13:03:22 From Jess McCarlson : I should be getting out more but every couple of days I enjoy a nice walk around the farm 13:03:25 From Nora Scholl : Lots of dog walks! 13:03:34 From Laura Fuller : gardening. have poison ivy already! 13:03:34 From Jennifer Tallman : Walking the dog and chasing the teenagers out to get some fresh air too 13:03:38 From Catherine Baer : Visiting prairies 13:03:38 From Melissa Carollo : @Raechel, I need your Wizards Unite code! 13:03:55 From Carolyn Seaver : Walking around the neighborhood. 13:03:56 From Karen Wendt : Let's Take a Walk: https://www.facebook.com/MononaPublicLibrary/videos/208335560611750/ 13:05:10 From Jean Anderson : https://docs.google.com/document/d/18IwOzdqIc4wQK2GJmqk_P0bH8mGvuc00xXYbHdpWAqM/edit# 13:06:47 From Andrea Schmitz to Jean Anderson(Privately) : Phooey you froze 13:06:51 From Jean Anderson : I have unstable internet 13:06:59 From Amanda Bosky : Last thing we heard from you Shawn was "There might be a separate question" 13:10:23 From Jess McCarlson : There were some concerns from my director about people forgetting their log-in from one summer to the next and having multiple sign-ups in the system? Any one who uses it have any thoughts on that? 13:12:55 From Heather Kent : Jess - because you register using your email they have a "forgot your password" option. 13:12:58 From Carissa Christner to Jean Anderson(Privately) : Hey Shawn, If there is a space for me to talk a little bit about what MPL is doing 13:13:08 From Carissa Christner to Jean Anderson(Privately) : Just to kind of offer an alternative to beanstack 13:13:09 From Carissa Christner to Jean Anderson(Privately) : I can 13:13:16 From Jess McCarlson : Awesome! That’s what I was assuming. Thanks! And hi ;) 13:14:16 From Carey Kipp : Baraboo does a bingo summer reading program 13:16:13 From Carey Kipp : This will be our 3rd year. its the youth SRP, the teens does a reading bookmark keeping track of minutes read. There are 36 activities on each card. If they get a blackout, the kids get to participate in a behind-the-scenes tour of a local business or organization. 13:17:56 From Carolyn Shaffer : Hi Mary Driscoll!!! :D 13:21:54 From Amanda Bosky : I think STO will use Beanstack for those who want to use it, but to us SLP 2020 = getting books into the hands of kids. 13:22:08 From Amanda Bosky : As many kids as possible especially lower-income families 13:22:38 From Tammy Ocampo : This will be our third year without incentives 13:23:17 From Carolyn Shaffer : Will there be any tracking for those kids that want it at POR and MAD? 13:24:04 From Heather Kent : We have already figured out the points system for Beanstack for when it goes active. We are only doing incentives from SCLS and the local ones we used to get will be encouraged to do quality rather than quantity and use it for a grand prize. They have a ticket bucket feature that is what we wanted to do this year anyway. 13:26:57 From Katy Hanousek : Tammy - how do you plan on doing an experience with the possibility of still social distancing? 13:27:30 From Whitney Parrillo : RAN went to experiences for the grand prizes only last summer - lego and movie parties at the library with pizza, but I would love to create more experience incentives for more participants 13:28:19 From Karen Wendt : Right - I have wondered about that too, that everyone who sends in numbers to DPI are sending in dif ways of tracking and running the program so differently... What is completion? Register/ 5 hours/ 15 books/ 25 days.... etc. 13:29:06 From Carey Kipp : Let's hope the social distancing guidelines are relaxed just a tad! Thinking positive!! 13:30:06 From Heather Kent : Our Teen prize one year was a private Nerf CTF party with pizza. I'd be afraid to create experience prize due to social distancing. Realistically - we will be in some type of social distancing until mid-2021. Until there is a vaccine we will have some type of guideline. 13:30:22 From Carey Kipp : I agree, Karen. I seem to change the definition of "completion" every year, cause I can't remember what I did last year... 13:30:40 From Catherine Baer : Has anyone thought through how to reach those kids who do NOT have internet access if we need to do an all online summer program? 13:31:33 From Karen Wendt : Yes, Catherine, we are asking that, too and trying to find a way to do it that is feasible for staff and social distancing. 13:32:17 From STO/Amanda Bosky : I think someone at a previous meeting suggested free books at laundromats and food pantries. We were already planning to do that this summer but will ramp it up even more this summer. 13:32:27 From Catherine Baer : Thank you Tammy, individualizing each family’s incentive system sounds awesome! Makes such good sense. 13:32:47 From Lynn Montague : Catherine -- we are hoping to post in local parks, work with apartment buildings, post Story Walks, etc. that encourage reading of new kinds. We are brainstorming new things every day. Maybe families can mail something back to the library? 13:33:04 From Heather Kent : A lot of schools have provided laptops and iPads to their students. There is free wifi around buildings. 13:34:09 From Julie Harrison : For those without internet access, we plan to offer a paper version of the program and log people in as offline readers, which is an option in Beanstack. 13:34:25 From STO/Amanda Bosky : (Pardon me if I disappear for a bit, I have a grocery delivery coming soon.) 13:35:02 From Julie Harrison : Our plan assumes people will be able to come into the library in some way this summer. 13:36:35 From Carissa Christner : Carolyn Schaffer, I just now saw your question about tracking and YES, we’ve designed the program in such a way that if families CHOOSE to track, they can do that on their own, but it’s very self-guided. 13:36:40 From Julie Harrison : I wonder if kids will be allowed to keep their iPads over the summer, and we could ask the district to add Beanstack if so? 13:37:14 From Sammy Nieman : @Julie that would be nice! 13:37:17 From Carolyn Shaffer : Thanks, Carissa! 13:37:31 From Heather Kent : Good question Julie. Maybe reach out to the schools. I have a feeling that Summer School may be turning virtual as well. 13:37:44 From Carissa Christner : Katy Hanousek, the “experience” this year will likely be more around interacting with others in the community about kids sharing favorite book titles. 13:39:15 From Katy Hanousek : Thanks Carissa. 13:41:22 From JODY DELAGARDELLE : Amanda, I like the way you explained your plan and approach. Sounds great! 13:42:02 From Whitney Parrillo : I have three performers booked and have heard from my June performer that they are willing to record for online at a reduced price...I'd like to pay them the original full price whether or not they can be live or not 13:42:22 From Carolyn Shaffer : Getting back to Tammy's comment about counting registrations vs completion rates, how do you feel that changing up the tracking of reading time will help with that? Will the registrations still be reported the same way? Will you learn more about participation somehow? 13:42:30 From Katy Hanousek : I contracted with ScienceTellers in January and they have now offered a couple of options for a virtual program. It seems like a good option. 13:43:29 From Lynn Montague : Heather -- exactly! 13:43:32 From Carissa Christner : why do the performers need to travel? Why can’t they just perform from their homes? 13:44:34 From Karen Wendt : Some performers may not have the space or the technology to work out of their homes. 13:44:41 From Heather Kent : Carissa - some of them are willing to do performances from home but I have a few who don't have the tech. 13:44:53 From Carissa Christner : gotcha. 13:45:09 From Whitney Parrillo : Our village hall is still open and has a community room 13:46:46 From Heather Kent : We are trying to figure out how to control numbers if we are able to gather in more than 25 - which I'm doubting before the end of July. If you get a chance - look at California's plan for reopening and the projections on what social gatherings will look like. 13:47:04 From Gail Moynihan : Wouldn't that have the same issue? An order to keep the building closed? 13:47:06 From Carolyn Shaffer : Katy, BER has ScienceTellers "coming" in June via live streaming. 13:48:03 From Karen Wendt : My library director has stated that safety is number one in our decision making. 13:48:21 From Jess McCarlson : Good question, Gail! I am not sure what buildings are ordered to be close. 13:48:35 From Whitney Parrillo : I'm thinking of creating a few outdoor scavenger hunts or something for patrons to get out and walk...I think it's feasible in a small village like Randolph 13:48:55 From Karen Wendt : STORYWALK might be a great way to interact. 13:49:14 From Whitney Parrillo : Yes! We love to pick up the craft bags in Portage! 13:49:16 From Carissa Christner : I like that idea, Whitney, especially if it’s a photo scavenger hunt — no touch! :) 13:51:02 From Jennifer Tallman : Suggestions on the best way to distribute craft bags if we are not able to open this summer? 13:52:16 From Heather Kent : Jennifer - there should be some type of minimal opening come June 1. Whether it is allowing curbside service or creating temporary "express libraries" in our foyers. These would be a good opportunity for getting these materials in children's hands. 13:52:45 From Whitney Parrillo : Maybe in a business that is open Jennifer? I have set up a Little Free Library in the Piggly Wiggly and hope to continue to use the set up to distribute library programming flyers/crafts/etc. 13:56:00 From Kelly Allen : We are talking about story walks. We've used yard signs for temporary ones. 13:56:17 From Carissa Christner : Lynn, can you send a link to the types of realtor boxes you’re considering? 13:56:19 From Sammy Nieman : Maybe don't put the scissors and glue sticks in with the bags but have them separate and have a sign that says: Take One if You Need One. Then those that have those supplies don't take one, but those who need one will have them. Then it's just a one time take and families won't end up with 10 glue sticks by the end of the summer. 13:56:45 From Catherine Baer : Are there any copyright issues with story walks? 13:57:13 From Carey Kipp : We have a permanent Storywalk at a city park, been in existence since 2016. We interchange the story out three times a year. 13:57:14 From Sammy Nieman : The biggest thing with Story Walks is that you can't alter the book and you have to buy 2 books 13:57:28 From Jean Anderson : Storywalks should use the original book - Deb H. can help you with creating them. 13:57:34 From STO/Amanda Bosky : Also our movie licenses are not applicable outside the physical building 13:58:06 From Kelly Allen : For storywalk copyright, you purchase three books to rip apart. That will cover copyright by purchasing the books. 13:58:20 From Carey Kipp : we buy 3 copies, use two to cut up and the 3rd one to add to the collection. We buy paperback copies to cut up. 13:58:49 From Whitney Parrillo : I'd like to learn more about storywalks if someone could start an email thread 13:59:43 From Jess McCarlson : Yes, please! 13:59:49 From Whitney Parrillo : thanks! 13:59:51 From Carey Kipp : Whitney I can email you my information. I have a binder where I keep all the information. 14:00:06 From Sammy Nieman : Take this with a grain of salt: https://33dad4b7-7401-4dae-b26d-cbd0aa5ca53c.filesusr.com/ugd/0f622b_c05909b9e8a548f3ba89b7f261f57b21.pdf 14:00:08 From Whitney Parrillo : awesome, thank you Carey! 14:00:17 From Karen Wendt : https://www.vermontlibraries.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/bringingsw.pdf 14:00:38 From Lynn Montague : Carissa something like this https://www.amazon.com/The-Infobox-Outdoor-Document-Holder/dp/B005CQSJWS/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=weatherproof+information+boxes&qid=1586977147&sr=8-1 14:00:38 From Brittany Gitzlaff : I need to take off, but thanks everyone!! Have a great rest of the day! 14:00:47 From Bethany Hultgren : Definitely Stroywalks 14:00:51 From Katy Hanousek : National Library Week is next week - ideas? 14:00:53 From Bethany Hultgren : *storytwalks 14:00:55 From Lynn Montague : But I also have a local realtor that may be willing to donate a bunch... 14:01:03 From Katie Schofield : maybe interactive Zoom programs for a future topic? 14:01:04 From Bethany Hultgren : Oy, I can't spell today. :P 14:01:46 From Kelly Allen : I agree with interactive zoom programs along with the other stuff. 14:01:59 From Carissa Christner : Thanks, Lynn! 14:02:00 From STO/Amanda Bosky : Eventually I'd like to talk about what we do if periods of social distancing become the new norm over the next few years. Making library programming valuable, reaching as many different groups of patrons as possible 14:02:16 From Karen Wendt : yes, instructions on how to do Zoom programs for the library 14:02:41 From Karen Wendt : Do you all have a reopening plan? 14:02:41 From Lynn Montague : I think face masks/breathing are more critical than handwashing...so public health opinion would be great 14:03:13 From Karen Wendt : When is next meeting? Tuesday at 10 or 2? 14:03:24 From Heather Kent : 10 14:03:44 From STO/Amanda Bosky : Thank you! 14:03:54 From Patty Hoggatt : Thanks! 14:03:56 From Jess McCarlson : Thanks everyone! 14:03:57 From Carolyn Shaffer : Thanks! 14:04:01 From Bethany Hultgren : Bye! 14:04:01 From Karen Wendt : thankyou 14:04:02 From Lynn Montague : Bye guys! I can't come on Tuesdays at 10 so I'll see you another time 14:04:08 From Carey Kipp : Whitney the binder is at my library so I will email you by Friday. 14:04:13 From Jenni Warnke : Thank you!
