Message-ID: Good Morning Librarians, The New Mexico State Library Foundation received funding from the IMLS for 15 libraries/librarians to take part in a five week mentorship/microgrant program. Please see details below, and note that review of Applications for the first cohort begins November 15, so don't delay! Angela Watkins (Aztec), Breezy Gutierrez (Anton Chico), and Nadine Jiron (Grants) were all part of the pilot for this, which was so successful that I wanted to make sure more NM libraries could take part. Here's the info: Applications are now open for the a new "Social Wellbeing Tools in Action Microgrant" program. Apply Here! Deadline Review of applications will begin November 15. The application will remain open until all 15 microgrants are filled. What is it? New Mexico State Library will work with 15 New Mexico librarians to develop community-based social wellbeing projects. Over the course of five weeks, the librarians will receive mentoring and guidance from Hope Decker using an established set of social wellbeing tools from www.rurallibraries.org. This will happen in five cohorts of three libraries each over the next 11 months, with microgrants provided to the participants to help seed their project. When are the cohorts? The cohorts are scheduled to be (subject to change if mutually agreed upon): * Nov 22 - Dec 17, 2021 * Jan 3 - Feb 5, 2022 * Mar 14 - April 16, 2022 * May 30 - July 2, 2022 * Aug 15 - Sep 17, 2022 Why is this important? Coming out of a pandemic, rural libraries and the community members they serve face the challenge of reestablishing mutual support, rebuilding social connection, and strengthening resiliency. The tools prioritize community engagement and dialogue, with a focus on reaching the isolated and marginalized, as a foundation for taking action to improve wellbeing in the community. The Rural Libraries and Social Wellbeing Research and the recently released IMLS report Understanding the Social Wellbeing Impacts of the Nation's Libraries and Museums, have highlighted the deep impacts libraries make. If I'm selected what will happen? If selected you will meet once a week for five weeks with Hope Decker, an experienced Tools in Action mentor, researcher on the Rural Libraries and Social Wellbeing project, and herself a small library director. With Hope you will learn about the social wellbeing tools, identify which may fit you and your library, and then work through them as you develop an idea for a community project. How much of my time will this take? The meeting with Hope will be one hour a week for five weeks (at a time that works for both of you), and it is estimated you will spend an additional 3 hours each week over the course of 5 weeks. So an estimated 20 hours altogether. How much are the micro-grants? Selected applicants will get $1000 dollars: $500 for you/$500 for your library (or, all $1000 for the library as some prefer). Objectives: * Provide high quality professional development to library workers seeking to make positive impacts in their community * Provide seed money for a library to take on a new project that will help the community recover from pandemic and/or build resiliency for the future * The Tools in Action process: * encourages an intentional community-centered approach to librarianship * give librarians space and time to reflect on underserved community members * re-centers measurements of success around social wellbeing * bases actions on extensive research and evidenced-based practices but is unique to each community Eligibility: * The tools in this project were developed with a small rural public library focus, but applications will be considered by libraries of all sizes and types * We use the term "librarian" here to mean any staff members who works for a recognized library in New Mexico * It is not part of this application but be aware that if you are selected will need to certify, with an authorized signature, that your library has approval to take part from whichever entity oversees its operations and finances Reporting: * Participant librarians are required to take a brief pre-survey and a brief post-survey to provide feedback on their learning and improve the Tools in Action program. * A brief report on the development of the project will be required * Eli Guinnee will work with you to schedule a time to do an in-person site visit What happens after the grant is over? * An ongoing national network of Tools in Action "graduates" provides ongoing peer-to-peer support, including a monthly meeting open to all past participants * Past participants have reported that they return to the tools regularly, and that they share them with other organizations in the community Questions?

The statutory authority for the proposed 4.5.10 NMAC is found in NMSA 1978 ? 18-18-1 (2019) which establishes the rural libraries endowment fund established in the state treasury to support the preservation, development and establishment of rural libraries throughout the state by providing funding for rural libraries' operational and capital needs and funding for the delivery of specialized services to rural libraries. Section 18-18-2(A) directs the state librarian to provide grants directly benefiting developing rural libraries and established rural libraries and grants for the establishment of developing rural libraries in cities, towns and villages without libraries. Section 18-18-2 further directs the state librarian to use money allocated for specialized services to rural libraries from the rural libraries endowment fund to provide specialized services to rural libraries. NMSA 1978 ?18-18-4(D)(2019) defines specialized services as professional development opportunities, program support, information technology support and other capacity building services, as defined by the state librarian. The proposed rule is available at the NMSL website, https://libguides.nmstatelibrary.org/c.php?g=1188984, and at the NMSL office located in the Garrey Carruthers State Library Building, 1209 Camino Carlos Rey, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87507. To request that a copy of the proposed rule be mailed to you, submit your request in writing to New Mexico State Library, 1209 Camino Carlos Rey, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87507, by email to eli.guinnee at state.nm.us, or via fax to (505) 476-9776. The NMSL is currently accepting public comments on the proposed rule. Additionally, any person may join the online hearing to submit their comments. Written comments may be submitted by mail to: New Mexico State Library, 1209 Camino Carlos Rey, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87507, by email to eli.guinnee at state.nm.us, or via fax to (505) 476-9776.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi again, I have had a few questions about this program that I thought you all might like to know the answers. Below is a quick FAQ, then when ready you can Apply Here! Q- Does it have to be the director who gets the $500? 1. No, it can be any library worker, so long as they are able to work on a community project. Q- When will the money arrive? 1. If selected, you will need to sign an agreement form for yourself and for your library. This will release the grant funds to be sent to you. We value your time and our intention is to get the money to you shortly before your cohort starts, or as soon as possible after. Q- Can it be more than one person? 1. Yes, that has worked well in the past to "team up." We have even had a director-trustee team. HOWEVER, we will only write one $500 check for one individual and it has to be a library worker, so you will have to decide who gets the money (or divvy it up on your end once you get it). Q- The first cohort starts very soon, November 22, will I have enough time to prepare? 1. Yes, there is no preparation needed. If you are notified that your grant is selected, you will identify a weekly time to meet with Hope that works for you. At your first meeting with Hope you will make a plan that works for you and your library. Q- I would rather the full $1000 go to the library, is that okay? 1. That is totally fine. (But the reverse will not be allowed-the library worker cannot receive the full $1000) Let me know any other questions!

Good Morning Librarians, The New Mexico State Library Foundation received funding from the IMLS for 15 libraries/librarians to take part in a five week mentorship/microgrant program. Please see details below, and note that review of Applications for the first cohort begins November 15, so don't delay! Angela Watkins (Aztec), Breezy Gutierrez (Anton Chico), and Nadine Jiron (Grants) were all part of the pilot for this, which was so successful that I wanted to make sure more NM libraries could take part. Here's the info: Applications are now open for the a new "Social Wellbeing Tools in Action Microgrant" program. Apply Here! Deadline Review of applications will begin November 15. The application will remain open until all 15 microgrants are filled. What is it? New Mexico State Library will work with 15 New Mexico librarians to develop community-based social wellbeing projects. Over the course of five weeks, the librarians will receive mentoring and guidance from Hope Decker using an established set of social wellbeing tools from www.rurallibraries.org. This will happen in five cohorts of three libraries each over the next 11 months, with microgrants provided to the participants to help seed their project. When are the cohorts? The cohorts are scheduled to be (subject to change if mutually agreed upon): * Nov 22 - Dec 17, 2021 * Jan 3 - Feb 5, 2022 * Mar 14 - April 16, 2022 * May 30 - July 2, 2022 * Aug 15 - Sep 17, 2022 Why is this important? Coming out of a pandemic, rural libraries and the community members they serve face the challenge of reestablishing mutual support, rebuilding social connection, and strengthening resiliency. The tools prioritize community engagement and dialogue, with a focus on reaching the isolated and marginalized, as a foundation for taking action to improve wellbeing in the community. The Rural Libraries and Social Wellbeing Research and the recently released IMLS report Understanding the Social Wellbeing Impacts of the Nation's Libraries and Museums, have highlighted the deep impacts libraries make. If I'm selected what will happen? If selected you will meet once a week for five weeks with Hope Decker, an experienced Tools in Action mentor, researcher on the Rural Libraries and Social Wellbeing project, and herself a small library director. With Hope you will learn about the social wellbeing tools, identify which may fit you and your library, and then work through them as you develop an idea for a community project. How much of my time will this take? The meeting with Hope will be one hour a week for five weeks (at a time that works for both of you), and it is estimated you will spend an additional 3 hours each week over the course of 5 weeks. So an estimated 20 hours altogether. How much are the micro-grants? Selected applicants will get $1000 dollars: $500 for you/$500 for your library (or, all $1000 for the library as some prefer). Objectives: * Provide high quality professional development to library workers seeking to make positive impacts in their community * Provide seed money for a library to take on a new project that will help the community recover from pandemic and/or build resiliency for the future * The Tools in Action process: * encourages an intentional community-centered approach to librarianship * give librarians space and time to reflect on underserved community members * re-centers measurements of success around social wellbeing * bases actions on extensive research and evidenced-based practices but is unique to each community Eligibility: * The tools in this project were developed with a small rural public library focus, but applications will be considered by libraries of all sizes and types * We use the term "librarian" here to mean any staff members who works for a recognized library in New Mexico * It is not part of this application but be aware that if you are selected will need to certify, with an authorized signature, that your library has approval to take part from whichever entity oversees its operations and finances Reporting: * Participant librarians are required to take a brief pre-survey and a brief post-survey to provide feedback on their learning and improve the Tools in Action program. * A brief report on the development of the project will be required * Eli Guinnee will work with you to schedule a time to do an in-person site visit What happens after the grant is over? * An ongoing national network of Tools in Action "graduates" provides ongoing peer-to-peer support, including a monthly meeting open to all past participants * Past participants have reported that they return to the tools regularly, and that they share them with other organizations in the community Questions?

I will be co-presenting from 12:45 to 1:45 on the topic of the Rural Libraries and Social Wellbeing project findings and tools. The Rural Library Summit is a half-day celebration of the impact libraries have on the aspirations of young people and a recognition of their contribution to third grade reading outcomes, especially for students in rural communities. Research has shown that children who read on or above grade level in third grade triple their chances of attending college. The Summit will explore how libraries can grow their impact on third grade reading, combating food insecurities and supporting cradle-to-career solutions. Participants will learn about and connect with a range of opportunities with regional and national organizations, including the newly launched Rural Library Fellowship. The program will support the efforts of 22 Fellows to engage in initiatives to increase third grade reading in their communities Best, Eli - - - - - - - - - - - - Eli Guinnee New Mexico State Librarian 1209 Camino Carlos Rey, Santa Fe, NM 87507 Cell (505) 629-9153 eli.guinnee at state.nm.us www.nmstatelibrary.org - - - - - - - - - - - - -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, should the Pueblo or Nation (Sovereign Nation) decided to mandate vaccines with their lands as they have the right to do so and should the Tribal Public Library reside in those sovereign boundaries, then I would image that we would have to adhere to that sovereign law. Here is in Isleta the vaccine is highly encourage but is not mandatory which I love. Pueblo employees that are not vaccinated must undergo weekly COVID Rapid Testing. At the moment, departments are allowed to offer daily services with a social gathering of no more than ten while adhering to the social distancing protocols. Three weeks ago, thins were more relaxed and we were able to have programs (social gatherings) of no more than thirty while adhering to social distancing protocols. Back to the question, I do not feel libraries should not deny people needed services due to their personal beliefs. I believe that is a violation of the Library Bill of Rights specially the one that reads "A person's right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background or views." According to that, should a patron view the vaccine unsafe due to their educated research, then we are not allowed to deny them services. Also keep in mind, some people are not allowed to get the vaccine for allergic reasons which is not their biological fault. I also think that enforcing mandated vaccines for library service and resources could be a form or censorship. Depending on how the enforcement is used and how one wants to argue the point. In the end, it really boils down to the Sovereign Nations decision and the New Mexico State Libraries decision to uphold the Sovereign Law (NOTE: I am not a lawyer so do not quote me). Despite my staff and I being at risk for helping the community with their essential business, I do not see us enforcing such mandates. My staff and I are following through with our Pueblo's COVID protocols, such as conducting daily screening of patrons, disinfecting, daily fogging, mask wearing, etc... Much of this email reflects my personal thought. There are many more individuals among the NM Tribal Library Listserv that are far more intelligent than me and can provide you with a better point of view. I wanted share my thoughts on the subject to add to the conversation. Fun fact, in Elementary I had to take Special Education classes so be mindful of who you allow to persuade you.

I believe she wants to make contact with them so she and her staff could potentially visit such facilities in attempt to research their kitchens as they are trying to remodel their kitchen for better operation. Since I never visited any Elders Centers during my NALSIG visits, I figured I would ask you all. Should your Pueblo / Tribe have an Elders Center could you please share the contact information with me so I may pass it on to her, so she may reach out to them. They should create a Special Interest Group, huh. Lucky us (NALSIG).
