The Certification Manual for Wisconsin Public Library Directors 2011 is now available online at http://www.dpi.wi.gov/pld/pdf/certmanual.pdf. The table of contents contains bookmarks to the different sections of the manual.
The Wisconsin Public Librarian Certification web page, (http://dpi.wi.gov/pld/cert.html), links to the updated versions of the following forms:
Below is a summary of the changes that have been made under the new rules:
Allow grade II certificates to be issued to applicants holding a bachelor’s degree along with a minor in library science if the minor includes or is supplemented by 3 semester credits of coursework, or the equivalent, in advanced public library administration.
Update public librarian certification requirements for grade II and III certification. Some of the areas of coursework have been changed to reflect the changes in the nature of public library operation. The total number of credits required to be completed will still be a total of 12; however, the rule will provide flexibility as to how those 12 credits may be earned.
Require certification renewal to include at least 10 hours of technology-related training.
Modify the temporary certification requirements for grade II and III certification to reflect the new coursework required to get a public librarian certification and require at least one course to be completed annually until the certification requirements are complete.
Please contact Bradley with any questions.

WI FoodShare will be coming to OWLS in November to talk about outreach at the library (details TBA). They are also hosting the second annual Swipe Out Hunger Conference in Stevens Point in September. Details below.
Swipe Out Hunger Conference
Sponsored by the WI FoodShare Outreach Network
Friday, September 16, 2011, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Holiday Inn Hotel and Conference Center, Stevens Point, WI
Conference fee: $25 (covers meals). Many scholarships are available, and no one should hesitate to ask for one.
This conference is for everyone who is committed to ending hunger through increased enrollment in FoodShare WI.
Among the hot topics to be addressed are significant changes to the program's administration, which will be implemented by January 1. Workshops will include practical, everyday activities that are being successfully used in a variety of settings to keep food on families' tables while bringing back badly-needed dollars into their communities. One session will be entirely devoted to "outreach at the library," as well as one for emergency food sites (food pantries and soup kitchens). There will also be 2 sessions on outreach to seniors, a very underserved group.
You may also want to come Thursday night for Wisconsin's premier of Food Stamped, a new feature length documentary. (Attendance is free.) The Holiday Inn has a block of rooms reserved for the conference at the cost of $70/night for 1 person, $97/night for 2 or 3 people.
I will share more information as it becomes available.
