May 1st, books will be given to students at meal distribution sites--giving students both literal food and food for thought.<br>
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020"><img border="0" width="100%" id="_x0000_i1038" src="https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/e4b0278a-35e2-4e18-bc0a-6983320b8c9c.jpg"></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020"><br>
"We are going to be helping pack the books, we are going to be helping distribute the books," explains Childcare's Librarian Jennifer Noonan. "We are going to make sure that academic choice boards for kids that may not be able to access the online learning
as they want to are going to be put in those bags."<br>
<br>
Members of the community purchase books on Browseabout's website and books have been selected for five different age groups. By purchasing them through Browseabout, Noonan says the program helps both students and local businesses.<br>
<br>
"It's great because the money is coming through us and we can order all these amazing books but it is helping us keep our staff employed and the lights on in the store," says Browseabout Books Managing Partner Susan Kehoe.<br>
<br>
Both Kehoe and Noonan say the program will continue as long as the community supports it, as sometimes access to bookstores and libraries is challenging for students even when schools are open. They say reading is more important now than ever.

a few of the ideas. She created pdfs to include the links on their Beanstack site and thier website. Finding inspiration she decided to share her work with the rest of the CSLP community! Liking the idea to make magic wands, Wina wanted to make sure that people
would be able to find the materials around their home. The magic beans activity inspired her to create two Jack and the Beanstalk activities for one page.<br>

<br>
This is our 5<sup>th</sup> summer participating in the Summer Food Service Program at the Downtown branch of Licking County Library, roughly 40 miles east of Columbus, Ohio. Though it felt old hat heading into Spring, that all changed in early March as we had
to evaluate if and how to continue our program during a pandemic. Well, maybe not “if,” as I knew from the day our library closed to the public on March 16, 2020 that I would fight to continue Summer Lunches. Luckily, my Director and Public Services Manager
are strong supporters of the program, and no fight was required.<br>
<br>
However, we knew the program would need to take a new form, as our building is still closed to the public. Furthermore, we, like many of you, are on a skeleton crew until further notice, and until last week I was the only Youth Services person from our typically
10-person team in the building.<br>
<br>
Read the full story of how we came to distribute 1,000 meals a week (and growing!) under these conditions and during a pandemic:
<a href="https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpreads.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F06%2Fsummer-meals-in-the-age-of-covid-19.pdf&data=02%7C01%7Clancasterc5%40michigan.gov%7C890e3819a72a4c2a48dd08d81d09ed7e%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C1%7C637291275762391253&sdata=h5OSA9EP7Sn9DZPoluJr71yOTPK7kXzJar5ks8Vf%2F9Y%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">

<br>
The picture below is the bulk of the meals for our June 29 distribution, with ten more tables in another room.<br>

</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020"><img border="0" width="100%" id="_x0000_i1035" src="https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/0b0ed33d-8f33-44b3-869b-6a5c6f0f7f9c.jpg"></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020"><br>
<br>
I can’t overstate how strongly I encourage you to participate in SFSP if your library qualifies. I have done some truly amazing things as a Youth Librarian, but nothing holds a candle to distributing 1,000+ free meals every week to the kids in our community.
And it may not be too late to get started this summer – in my area, most of the other SFSP sites didn’t start serving until our third week, and all of them end the last week of July, while our program goes right up until school starts. <br>
<br>
Here are a few things to keep in mind: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#202020;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">It will take a lot of time, and you will need help. If you are permitted to use volunteers at this time, packing meals is a great option. Board members want to do something
meaningful? Have them pack meals! There are very few people that would say no to feeding kids. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#202020;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">You will probably need to invest in bags to sort meals into. Your sponsor may be able to provide bags, or you may be able to get a donation from a local store. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#202020;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">You will need space. I suggest reserving an area exclusively for packing and staging. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#202020;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Figure out traffic flow to reduce touching and/or people in the building. We mark doors as one-way and prop them open. We placed 6-foot markers on the floors and post a sandwich
board outside reminding people to observe social distancing. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#202020;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Be flexible and learn/adapt as you go. We’ve had at least three program evolutions since we started.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#202020;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">You may have to prioritize. When we first closed, I was so eager to start virtual programming, distance learning, and reminding our patrons that we’re still here even though
our buildings are closed. My Public Services Manager encouraged me to slow down and focus on getting Summer Meals under control, and I’m so thankful she did. With the huge increase of need in our community, I am happy to be able to focus so much of my time

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#222222">By: Elizabeth Boggs, Young Adult Program Librarian, Spring Branch-Memorial Library, Houston, TX<br>
<br>
I won’t sugar coat it - this pandemic has been terrible. Libraries have plenty to be positive about though! We have continued to serve our patrons in whatever way possible, including moving our programs to virtual venues like Facebook and Instagram. <br>
<br>
Has this virtual programming actually been successful? Just look at the statistics for a resounding yes! According to Sprout Social management software, Harris County Public Library (HCPL), a public library system with 26 branches in the Houston area, gained
1,721 followers on Facebook and Instagram between March 17 and April 17. That’s a high number by itself, but compare it to last year’s increase during the same period. Last year, only 789 new social media followers were gained, meaning 118% more people started
following HCPL during the pandemic (see graph). The library’s virtual pandemic push worked. <br>
<br>
Additional statistics reinforce the positive outcome of increased virtual outreach. Impressions, meaning the social media content loaded on a patron’s device, numbered over 1.085 million for HCPL. This number is a 39% increase from last year’s impressions (see
graph). Engagements, meaning the patrons liked, commented on, or shared content, numbered 79,533 for HCPL compared to 50,274 the year before. Another increase, this time of 58% (see graph).<br>
<br>
Libraries have moved online more during this pandemic, and patrons have followed. Virtual interactions with patrons are higher than ever. Where do we go from here? Public librarians have been thinking about summer reading programs and the role virtual interactions
will play. For HCPL, safety dictates a virtual summer reading program, and the recent increase in social media followers have provided the foundation. The patrons have followed us online, so we know they will be there when we launch our virtual summer reading
program.<br>
