Supporting Michigan Libraries - December 13, 2018

MeL Minute: Meet MeL's New Engagement Specialists

We are excited to officially introduce the Michigan library community to the new MeL Engagement Specialists who started their positions with the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) at the beginning of December. Please join us in welcoming Theresa and Ann! 
Theresa Runyan
My name is Theresa Runyan and my position, Michigan eLibrary Engagement Specialist for Public Libraries at the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services is not only new to me, it’s new to MCLS.  My job, in a nutshell, will be to assist and support the public library community with the Michigan eLibrary resources:  how to use them and how to make them work for their patrons and themselves.   
My most recent experience has been with the Jackson District Library, where I served as a Branch Manager, Circulation Coordinator and Customer Service Specialist.  I have a strong background in management, training, end-user trouble shooting, and marketing.   
I’m looking forward to working with all of you in this new position.  So, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions (runyant@mcls.org; 800-530-9019 x151) or to set up a visit (https://mcls.org/melrequest). 

Ann Kaskinen
My name is Ann Kaskinen, and I am the new MeL Engagement Specialist, K12 for the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services.  While I received a library degree from Central Michigan University and have worked as a K12 Library-Media Specialist for nearly 16 years, I started my career teaching high school English, social studies, and public speaking.  I have also served as a consultant for Allegan AESA and Traverse Bay Area ISD.  More recently, I completed an internship at the Kalamazoo Public Library and served as teen librarian for Bay County Public Library in Panama City, Florida.   
As an advocate of MeL for most of my career, I am more than excited to assist school personnel with the navigation of the new eResources that can support K12 curriculum.  I know it can be a challenge finding and utilizing new tools for instruction, but the new suite of EBSCO databases does not disappoint.  I can’t wait to share these new resources with you!  If you have questions or would like to set up an on-site visit, please do not hesitate to reach out to me (kaskinena@mcls.org ; 800-530-9019 x150) or to set up a visit (https://mcls.org/melrequest).

Available now!!!!
Some leaders fail to transform their leadership because they either believe the intangibleness of intention-setting and self-reflection are a waste of time or they simply don't make the time to be intentional or reflective. Either way, they remain stagnate as a leader and do a disservice to themselves and their teams. Transformational leadership takes intentionality. As a transformational leader, you not only have the ability to transform your team, but you will be able to transform your organization by maximizing the power of your influence. In this book, you will be challenged to set a daily Intention for the next 21 days. With each Intention, you will be asked to meditate on the Intention, perform an act and then take time to reflect. The goal of this book is to reset your leadership routine. At the end of each day you will ask yourself, "how will I lead differently tomorrow than I led today?" If you want to see a change in yourself, your team and your organization, let this book be your guide to start you on your journey towards transformation.
