Another very easy way to support us is by making your Amazon purchases through this link! Amazon will not tell us who you are or what you buy, but they will give us a small percentage of the total profit they make on your purchase.
Click our links anywhere we have book information (like in our Book Bouquet articles) or just visit Amazon from our site. Anything you buy during that visit to Amazon will be counted toward our total.
We are so grateful for your support! Our work is to strengthen our library community and these funds earned allow us to continue doing just that!
As the Minnesota multitype library systems prepare to enter our tenth year without a budget increase, we are looking for ways to diversify our income from other sources. We want to be able to provide more services and more programs to our members! One easy way to help us to do this is by using Amazon.com.
Not available at Amazon, but she’s a big CMLE supporter!
Amazon provides a program called Amazon Associates. When people click through our site to buy things at Amazon.com, we get a small percentage of their profits on the sale. You have probably seen some other libraries, nonprofits, and small businesses using this program.

A recent Star Tribune article, Internet Flips the Idea of How to Teach a Class, highlighted the efforts of some local college professors and instructors utilizing the flipped classroom method in their classrooms. Not only is this article (and its information) local, but it also details some of the successes and failures of this new teaching method. In addition, a recent study of 720 physics professors showed that at least 72 percent had tried various interactive teaching methods (like those that are a part of the flipped classroom); however, at least a third of those instructors tried — and eventually stopped using interactive methods. Some cite push back from students in the flipped classroom, as well as little support for instructors once they’ve “made the switch”. Ongoing support, continuing education, and access to professional resources is a must for forward-thinking instructors who have gotten up the gumption to attempt the flipped classroom.
