Winning Float Design Features Library
|
The winning entry in the 19th annual Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade Float Design contest features a LIBRARY! The picture below is the winning design by 13-year old Za'Cyrus Gaiter of Detroit.
Za'Cyrus designed his "dream neighborhood" and the library is front and center in his neighborhood -- its the red building that looks like a book on its side with a sign that says "Read All About It." Look for the new float in this year's Thanksgiving Day Parade! |

MAME Membership
|
Please encourage your colleagues to join MAME or to renew their MAME membership, if they have not already done so.
There are many benefits of MAME membership including subscriptions to the nationally-recognized online journal, Media Spectrum, and to the monthly newsletter, Media Matters.
Most members find the MAME listserv to be an invaluable source of information and assistance. The MAME listserv keeps members in touch with those most invested in providing excellence in school library media programs for students.
MAME also holds three conferences each year - Annual, Midwinter, and Summer, all of which provide SB-CEU credits for certification updates.
MAME membership includes membership in one of MAME's local regions, which provide additional programming. These regions are all represented by a voting member on the MAME Board of Directors.
Finally, MAME works with the national affiliates, AASL and ISTE, and with state partners, such as MACUL, MLA, and the REMC Association, to advocate for schools and libraries and to collaborate on services to MAME members. With the assistance of the Library of Michigan, MAME is in dialogue with the Michigan Dept. of Education about certification and staffing issues.
Have colleagues go to the MAME Website to download the membership form and send it in! |
