It’s All About Literacy!
AND
It’s All About Reading!
Two great summer programs at
the beautiful Battleground Country Club!
On July
21 it’s all about literacy! High School librarians are
invited to bring a staff member from their school (the curriculum
supervisor would be a good choice, an administrator, or another teacher)
to hear academic librarians describe what high school students are
expected to know and do when they get to college. All interested
librarians, of course, are welcome.
For early elementary and children’s librarians,
Bonnie Kunzel, NJSL, will talk about Emergent Literacy. And for grades
3-8, Rosalind Reisner, CJRLC; Betty Carhart, Lanoka Harbor ES, LaceyTwp;
and Lisa Force, Eisenhower MS, Freehold Twp. will talk about using the
free databases in the curriculum.
There’s something for almost everyone. The $35 cost
includes breakfast and lunch. Teachers/administrators with their
librarian may come for $20.
On August
19 it’s all about reading! Join us from 9-3 and take your
choice of two strands of programs.
For the K-6/children’s librarians, Dr. Robert
Dornish will review what’s new in children’s literature. Joan Brady,
educational media specialist at Taylor Mills School,
Manalapan/Englishtown School District will lead a sharing of ideas for
lesson plans and activities for K-6. Bring your favorites!
For teens/adults, Cheryl Bryan, Southeastern MS
Library System, will talk about setting up a reader’s advisory program
and Rosalind Reisner will talk about autobiographies as good as fiction!
$50 for librarians and $70 for a team of two. (See above)

Hot off the press!
Thanks to the work of Tim Quinn, children’s illustrator Helene |
Van Rossum, and funding from

libraries may request the brochure in quantity from the regional library
cooperatives. Make them available in school libraries, children’s
rooms, open houses, career fairs, and at community events.
Thanks to State Librarian Norma Blake for funding the
recruiting program. The brochure will also be featured on www.becomealibrarian.org.

Robert Lackie is
NJLA Librarian of the Year! |
The first academic and the first male to
be NJLA’s NJ Librarian of the Year is CJRLC’s own Robert Lackie,
Rider University!
A graduate of the NJ Academy of Library
Leadership (03), and active in Train the Trainer, Robert is also the
academic library representative on CJRLC’s Board, and Instruction and
Reference Librarian at Rider University. He recently was promoted to
Associate Professor-Librarian with tenure as of September 1. And on May
14, Robert was one of two Rider faculty to be presented with the Award
for Distinguished Teaching, the first Rider librarian to be so
recognized! This is Robert Lackie’s year!
Best known around the state for the
workshops he gives on Internet searching, staff development, and
e-learning, among other topics, Robert has helped many NJ librarians to
maximize usage of the Internet. His mother may have been disappointed
initially when he left the Air Force for a career as a librarian, but NJ
librarians are delighted and grateful!
Summer is a Great
Time for a HouseCall!
Summer’s
slower place makes it an ideal time to catch up on learning about the
free databases. Invite Roz to your library or come to the CJRLC lab for
your personal training session. We can search together for pictures and
charts on Accunet/AP Photo Archive; find career information and
science diagrams on Facts on File; or do topical research on EBSCOhost.
For those of you who have Novelist, summer’s the perfect time
to learn how to recommend “good reads” to your patrons, from
children to adults. It’s easy to arrange — call Roz at (732)
-409-6484 or email roz@cjrlc.org.

Ready to Jump on
the
|
 |
| ebooks Bandwagon? |
For the
past 4 years, a group of CJRLC member libraries have combined resources
to offer their patrons access to electronic books through netLibrary.
Each library contributes $2500 annually toward the purchase of a
collection of ebooks in a variety of subjects. The contributing members
choose the titles and set policy. MARC records for all titles allow
access through each library’s catalog, and statistics are collected to
show usage.
This year
4 Infolink libraries joined the group. For each library that joins, the
total number of ebooks available to the group increases.
Call the
CJRLC office before July 31st if you’d like to join the netLibrary
project. |

Getting to Know...
Dr. Helen Earles
|
Dr. Helen Earles,
librarian at the Father Center of the Union Industrial Home, fondly
remembers reading under the covers with a flashlight as a child.
Although her father wanted her to teach, she knew she’d rather be in
the library than the classroom, a decision she still feels was right for
her.
After receiving
her MLIS from Rutgers, she worked as a media specialist until she was
recruited for the faculty at the St. John’s University Library School
in Queens, NY. She later became Dean of Instructional Resources at
Manhattan Community College, then held the same position at the
University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh. Along the way, she took time out for a
PhD in Educational Technology at Syracuse University.
|
After a career in
academic librarianship, she turned her attention back to public
education in East Orange as Supervisor of School Libraries and the high
school English language program. When she was offered a position in the
Newark Public Schools as head of School Media Centers, she saw an
opportunity to spark change in this ailing system of 86 schools.
Now semi-retired,
she works part-time at the Father Center, setting up a resource
collection for this social services agency. She also consults at
Montclair State University in their Education Department.
An avid crossword
puzzler, Scrabble player, and jazz fan, Helen still enjoys staying up
late at night to read. One of CJRLC’s newest members, Dr. Earles
brings a wealth of experience, insight, and enthusiasm to our Region.
