#EngagedLibraries keep the energy up. 🚲 Staff at Mesa Public Library helped kids in their community celebrate National Bike Month in May with their Bikes to Books art contest. Kids in pre-kindergarten to 12th grade were invited to help design bike symbol art for the City of Mesa with the winning design to be installed on the city’s shared use path. In this new article from OCLC’s WebJunction, learn more about this program and other great ideas on creative ways libraries all over are getting involved in Bike Month programming and other fitness and movement programs to help people of all ages and abilities stay active. From aerobics to Zumba and everything in between, we hope you’ll find a ton of ideas and inspiration to bring to your library’s fitness programming. 📲 We want to know how your library is moving, shaking, dancing, hiking, and more. Share your story on social media by including hashtag#EngagedLibraries and tagging OCLC in your post. You could be featured in an upcoming issue of Abstracts, on our community engagement hub, in an upcoming blog or video, or across our social media channels. ⤵️ Click below to explore ideas to create a library fitness program. --- #OCLC #PublicLibrary #PublicLibraries #AcademicLibrary #AcademicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibraryLove

CEU Educational Group (CEU) has selected OCLC's WorldShare Management Services (WMS) as its fully integrated library services platform to handle all essential functions of its diverse institutions' libraries in Spain. In addition to providing a library services platform to bring CEU libraries together, OCLC will create a single catalog of collections from participating institutions to search through one interface. In total, the platform will cover 20 libraries serving over 96,000 users. CEU is an institution with an extended tradition in education, offering a wide range of studies through a network of educational institutions spread across the Spanish geography at all education levels, from primary and secondary schools to colleges, research institutions, business schools, and four universities in major cities of the Spanish state. "We have learned through years of experience that a collaborative yet autonomous approach while preserving the unique characteristics of each branch, is the most effective organizational structure for our area," said Ascensión Gil Martín, CEU Libraries and Archives Director. "Given the geographical dispersion, number, and diverse needs of the libraries across CEU branches, this model has proven successful.” The selection of WMS reflects CEU's ongoing commitment to innovation and employing the latest technologies to meet the learning and educational needs of its users. Being part of OCLC means connecting to a global network of knowledge and interlibrary collaboration. ⤵️ Click below to read more. #OCLCwms #OCLCnews --- #OCLC #PublicLibrary #PublicLibraries #AcademicLibrary #AcademicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibraryLove

#EngagedLibraries inspire youth. 💡 Working and volunteering both offer many benefits for teens—from gaining important social and leadership skills to finding or expanding on personal interests. Ahead of the summer break from school, the Kansas City Public Library in Missouri hosted a Teen Volunteer and Job Fair focused on those between the ages of 15 and 18. Local businesses and volunteer organizations showcased available opportunities to teens in the community. This event is a great example of how libraries bring people together to create connections and opportunities. 📲 We want to know how your library gets teens involved and helps them find their paths in life. Share your story on social media by including #EngagedLibraries and tagging OCLC in your post. You could be featured in an upcoming issue of Abstracts, on our community engagement hub, in an upcoming blog or video, or across our social media channels. ⤵️ Click below to see photos from Kansas City’s event. --- #OCLC #PublicLibrary #PublicLibraries #AcademicLibrary #AcademicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibraryLove
