 The Orleans Public
Library is celebrating 100 years of service to the community this
year. Its centennial activities throughout the year have been a Centennial
Book Club - reading a book each month that was a best seller in 1915 which was
the year the library was built. Orleans Library is accepting quilt blocks
from library patrons and will make a Centennial Quilt. Orleans Library is
sponsoring a Flat Andy (Andrew Carnegie cut out) Photo contest where patrons
submit photos of themselves and Flat Andy at other libraries around the world.
The winner is the patron who submits a picture that is the farthest away from
Orleans. On September 11, 2015, Orleans Library will host An Affair Remembered Gala
inviting the public to tour the library, see displays, listen to chamber music,
and historical speakers while enjoying hors d’ouerves and
desserts. Orleans Library will be making an announcement that it will be
building an addition on to its current structure and we will host a ground
breaking ceremony that evening.
Now available through Gale’s In Context suite of products is the ability for students to seamlessly login using Google Account credentials. The Gale In Context products that will provide this new Google functionality include Biography, Canada, Opposing Viewpoints, Science, Student Resources, U.S. History and World History. Now a Google for Education* partner, this new relationship supports Gale’s efforts to evolve from a traditional library content provider into the ed tech space by providing the educational technology, instructional tools and content to help our users be successful in school, work and life.
What’s New?
Some of the changes you’ll see include:
• Seamless User Login: users can login to their Gale In Context resource using their Google Account credentials.
• Integrated Google tools: once logged in, users can easily share and download articles—including their highlights and notes—using Google Apps for Education tools like Drive and Docs.
• Improved access: schools and libraries can provide students with access to their resources via apps available for free download through the Chrome Web Store and Google Apps for Education. These product apps will provide an additional way and make it even easier for students, schools and public library patrons to easily access resources from their tablets and mobile devices.
Coming Soon
This fall Gale plans to integrate similar apps, authentication and tools within some of Gale’s other leading product families including the widely used GVRL, InfoTrac, and Kids InfoBits platforms.
*As a Google for Education partner, Gale uses the most current and popular Google tools to support students as they develop key study and organizational skills. By integrating leading resources into its platforms – such as Google Apps for Education, a free suite of tools that includes Gmail, Classroom, Drive, Docs, and more – Gale helps educators improve student engagement, encourage collaboration and foster critical thinking – from anywhere and on any device.

Julie Dietzel-Glair brings her storytime expertise to Indiana to present Books in Motion training at 5 locations in the state!
These trainings will be worth 3 Library Education units (3 LEUs) and include information about incorporating more movement while reading aloud, along with great book suggestions for this practice.
Do you want to jump, sing, dance, wiggle, stretch, and draw with preschoolers while reading books to them in storytime? Discover many ways to include movement during the books rather than just in between the books. This interactive program will have participants up and moving with the shared books and ideas. All activities based on the book titled Books in Motion: Connecting Preschoolers with
Books through Art, Games, Movement, Music, Playacting, and Props by Julie Dietzel-Glair and published by ALA Editions (Neal-Schuman) in 2013 which includes 500 titles suitable for a movement filled storytime.
