It relies heavily on volunteers and donations from local churches, groups, businesses and individuals to fulfill its mission of helping those in need.
Thank you for sharing this thoughtful reflection. You're right that at its core, ministry is about building relationships and sharing life with others. I appreciate you highlighting how the early church model focused on gathering in homes to eat, pray and learn together - a simple yet powerful example of community. Wishing you and your church's youth group the very best as you continue nurturing relationships and creating space for shared life experiences.

Libraries have been offering programming for decades, and in many cases the model has been, "Let’s plan a program, promote it, and see who shows up." This approach hasn’t changed much, even with social and technological changes, not to mention the pandemic and streaming programs. Program planning with a marketing mindset starts with identifying your customer’s needs and wants, then developing programs and services to meet those needs and wants. We’ll discuss how to use research – quantitative and qualitative – to plan and market programs that will engage your customers. We’ll talk about "bundling" programs and services for different audience segments. We’ll also cover how this more strategic approach can save time and resources for your library.

While every library is unique, they all seem to share one thing in common: they could use more money! Grant funding might be the just thing to help buy technology for STEM programming, get a new service initiative off the ground, or complete a renovation. But applying for grants can be overwhelming – and that’s assuming you can even find one for which you qualify. This session aims to introduce you to the tools to make the grant application process more easily navigable. In this session, Kathryn will provide tips for putting your best foot forward when it comes time to submit your proposal. Handouts include a roadmap to success and descriptions of various sections of the application.
Presenter: Kathryn Brockmeier, Grant Consultant.

In addition, ConnectEd Nebraska is piloting innovative collaborations between school districts and local ISPs to expand access to eduroam in unique ways that go beyond traditional anchor institutions, reducing barriers to broadband access and enhancing educational opportunities. Attend this session to learn what eduroam is, where it's deployed throughout the state, and how your library can get involved.

Have you wondered if your library's website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective? How do you know what to measure, or how to measure it? There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library's site. Learn about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention.
Presenter: Laura Solomon, MCIW, MLS is the Library Services Manager for the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN). She has been doing web development and design for more than twenty years, in both public libraries and as an independent consultant. She specializes in developing with Drupal. She is a 2010 Library Journal Mover & Shaker. She's written three books about social media and content marketing, specifically for libraries, and speaks nationally on both these and technology-related topics. As a former children's librarian, she enjoys bringing the "fun of technology" to audiences and in giving libraries the tools they need to better serve the virtual customer.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
Big Talk From Small Libraries 2018: More Than Summer Lunches–Social, Cultural, and Healthy Connections
1. More Than Summer Lunches–
Social, Cultural, and Healthy
Connections
Partnership for Summer
Lunches in our Community
You and your public library. Together you
can make a difference!
2. La Cygne—City of the Swan on the
banks of the Marais des Cygnes
Founded in 1869, we will celebrate our sesquicentennial in 2019.
About 1100 people in community, 2400 in our taxing district.
First library building was built in 1906, prior to that the Zeta Zeta Club
sponsored lending library in stores. In the 1960’s library moved to new
building and became a city library. In 1976, became a district library and
addition was built on. In 2007 we built new facility.
Lu scene is how the name is pronounced, mean the swan in French, many
fur traders in the area, and Indian legends recorded about the Swans.
We are open 45 hours a week, staffed with 3 (35+ hours a week employees)
and 1 part time (17 hrs a week)
5. Library District #2 of Linn County
La Cygne, KS 66040
This will be our 4th year to do Summer meals
We’ve been experimenting along the way
Shelf Stable
Purchased hot meals from vendor
Self Prep
2 sites 5 day a week at library, Fridays only at Linn Valley Lakes
6. We didn't think so.
We wanted it to be more than a place they ran in, ate and left.
If if was going to be hosted by the public library it needed to mesh with our
philosophy and mission.
We were not getting any extra paid help and our plates were already full of
summer reading activities.
It was taking time that we would have normally programmed, so it had to
be more than a meal.
Is providing a meal enough?
7. In the beginning….
Our dream was that kids would come and eat and be exposed to books,
games and mentors.
Books were easy, games available, but where do mentors come from?
Summer meals action team created
Contacted local ministerial alliance
Contacted civic groups
Fed shelf stable meals and mentors read while they ate, and taught them
games like Old Maid and Go Fish
Successful, but needed more
8. Year 2….
Career Tuesday
Free book Friday
Fitness Thursday (grant through Methodist Church Healthy congregations)
Some entertainment Monday programs.
Good response
9. Year 3……
Tweaked some of year 2 ideas.
Working with funds from grant with First Option Bank we were able to bring in
Entertainment Monday's every week except 2. Friends of library sponsored one
also.
Career Tuesday, was more consistent and even brought in KCP &L to help with
that. We also implemented a program called "Try it you might like it" once a
week either on Tuesday or Wednesday. Our goal there was to get kids to try
different vegetables, fruits, and foods
Wellness Wednesday was hosted by SNAP-ED assistant from Marsis des Cygnes
extension and she used the USDA curriculum on summer meals.
Fitness Thursday was continued by members of the Healthy Congregation
committee from the Methodist church.
Free Book Friday also evolved into weekend snack bags too. Sponsored by
local churches and community members.
