that is such a good reminder!!!

I know my youngest daughters daycare has been open this whole time. I know it’s been difficult for them.

that’s awesome!

those are great announcements! - Yvonne

For now open date is May 6, per City Mgr.

Okeene will be opening to the public on Monday May 4

Will not know about re-opening till after May 12 meeting. So far have moved computers so no will be sitting next to each other when we do. Also have removed all the toys away.

Kellyville Public Library

southern prairie library system will bring staff in on Monday. we will not be open to the public at this point but will begin curb side service and start preparation in the building to open to the public. Bailee from Altus public library

^^^ applies to us as well. Chelsea and Lynda from Hollis Public Library

Holdenville: We have been curbside,not open until the 15th , then it will be 2 computers available by appointment only , must wait in car until appointment time so we can sanitize between each use.

Yvonne from Pawhuska PL: Will space computers 1 computer to a 6 foot table. Only business use allowed, one hour max. No staying on a computer for games, facebook, email, etc. We have been doing curb service, & sanitizing ingcoming books & leaving books out for a week before shelving.

It was really good! Thank you for sharing

Colleen from Mannford Public Library: Is it normal for a performer to charge the same amount for a virtual performance as an in-person performance?

Some of our performers have reduced their cost, but most haven't. All have removed any travel charges they may have included.

This is a good article from Library Journal

*school library journal

I believe Harper Collins was one of the publishers that did a blanket release. ??

I think you have to email them that you are using their books and state that you have permission at the beginning of the video

https://www.harperacademic.com/pages/onlinepermission2020/

Yes, through June 30

You can delete them

You can delete the video right?

As long as you make a good faith effort to delete your Facebook post by June 30 I think that would be fine

This article has the rules for several publishing houses: https://www.slj.com/?detailStory=publishers-adapt-policies-to-help-educators-coronavirus-covid19

Any ideas on how to connect the virtual performances with those who don't have access?

Does anyone have Extreme Animals scheduled?? They haven’t called me back to see what they want to do.

Colleen/Mannford: Thank you for the input.

A2Z Zoo in Enid is going to make us a video about their different animals for us to use.

We have extreme animals scheduled, but haven't heard from them either.

Tulsa uses YouTube and Facebook

Enid uses Facebook

The good thing about YouTube is that it doesn’t require folks to have an account/login

All our virtual programs are currently through Facebook. That's seems to be what our patrons use the most.

we did a zoom test storytime yesterday, it went very well they had to call or email us for the link.

I love the idea of zoom story time! I want to try that.

I’m doing zoom with my teens but filming my story times and uploading them that way they can be viewed when they are available.

Courtney, what survey did you put out for summer reading?

You have to make it a post after the live is over

From Yvonne at Pawhuska - We have ordered a (small) video camera. & plan to do You Tube video - this is new for us.

Also, how long are you letting patrons stay inside the library before they have to leave in order to let others in?

I created a google form Summer Reading survey to get an idea of what types of programing patrons are interested in and access patrons have.

Can you share?

We have found a lot of success in uploading “bite-sized” story time bits - one song, or a part of a book, or a movement

Bailee, we're wondering how to manage that too. Ours will be politely encouraged to not linger....but, so many are browsers it will be hard to do. Hoping since they will know we're limiting the number most will be respectful of that(?)

I really liked this article on improving your virtual storytime: https://ontarianlibrarian.com/2020/03/30/tips-for-recording-virtual-storytimes-due-to-covid-19/ Chelsea from Hollis

Paula, that is awesome :)

Paula, I think that is fantastic and NOT AT ALL cheating!

Computers are timed 15, 30, and 90 minutes. patrons looking for material are not timed.

Thank you , Courtney,

Yvonne at Pawhuska - celebrities reading? Great!

(Bailee W/Altus) Yes, Sherry, That is what I am hoping as well!

One thing someone said is with celebrities you need to watch first for "appropriateness"

Thanks!

Thank you Courtney!!

What kind of rewards is everyone going to give? Virtual rewards or in-person prizes?

That is the link to my survey.

Yvonne at Pawhuska - what kind of rewards are popular with kids?

Patrick Stewart has been reading Shakespeare on Instagram

Courtney, How are you doing the virtual D&D campaign? What platform are you using?

Tulsa has had success doing Zoom hangouts with teens. We’ve started a new teen Instagram channel, and we are featuring the teens themselves on it

I have been reading "Bud, not Buddy" on Facebook for my more middle school kids and have received great feedback!

Jacque at Kellyville, have a punch card that the kids will bring back once open and for every 5 books they read will get a brag tag prize.

Oh, That is a great idea, Leah! I want to try zoom hangouts for my teens.

@Bailey - if you have any questions, I’m happy to chat about it - just email me :)

@Kitty!!!! You are amazing!!!

@Kitty that is amazing!!

I love the Mask Singer idea!!

@Kitty that sounds awesome!

I am going to do my Bad Art virtually this year, I am going to have them create their projects and email me the pics and I will post to for votes.

I love that idea Phylls!

@Phyllis that sounds super cool! They will love that

What is Bad Art

I have been really interested in doing a Bad Art program

I love the interaction, Personally!

usually a way to clean out the craft closet. they get to create what ever they want. They get very creative and it is not bad art at all, I stole that idea from a Canada librarian.
