Students age 5-19 are invited to submit poetry or two-dimensional works of art to the national River of Words competition. The contest's central theme is focused on watersheds, with the intent of helping youth express themselves through the arts, while exploring their environment, and developing a sense of place and appreciation for discovery. River of Words is an excellent opportunity for art and literature classrooms to strengthen their skills and make connections between the watershed theme and their artistic talents.
The deadline for all entries is December 1, 2014. Prizes include $50 for the first place winners. All entrants will be acknowledged with a Watershed Explorer Certificate. Winners will be invited to an award ceremony at the Indiana State Library, where they will meet nationally recognized author and illustrator Troy Cummings. Winners are also invited to be included in the 2014-2015 Letters About Literature Anthology. For more information, including all entry forms, visit the Rules and Guidelines page. River of Words is a program of the Center for Environmental Literacy at St. Mary’s College of California.
Staffing and budget shortages at the State Board of Accounts has led to the suspension of financial auditing of Indiana public libraries. According to the Herald Bulletin, SBOA will postpone audits for libraries, conservancy districts, some public school accounts, and small towns and townships.
The SBOA is exploring alternatives which include increasing the cost of audits from $45/day to $45/hour. The current cost of a similar service by a private firm is $100 to $125 per hour. The State Board of Accounts State Examiner, Paul Joyce, in conjunction with lawmakers, and local government associations, is formulating plans to resolve the current issues, which will be presented to the Indiana General Assembly in January. The ISL is monitoring the situation and will keep libraries informed of any updates.
3D Systems, in collaboration with YALSA, will provide new 3D printers to qualified libraries and museums across the country. Recipients will be selected via an application process and are expected to join the MakerLab Club as well as provide access to 3D printing and design programs and services for their communities.
Libraries can apply via an online application now until November 17th, 2014. Printers will be allocated on a competitive basis.
For more information on this opportunity, view the application here.
