I had some requests for forwarding information about bio-hazard clean-up policies, but no actual policies, so I don't have anything to forward. I'll consider it a good thing that no one has had enough of an issue with this sort of thing to warrant a policy. Turns out the federal government has a regulation that requires clean up and equipment for clean up, so we will be purchasing bodily fluid clean up kits from Quill to have available for staff. We don't have a full-time janitor, and we're not talking about the sort of thing you just put yellow tape around and leave for the next guy. I think that response will meet the regulation requirements. Thanks again. Bob Barringer, PhD Director 407 S.

The Forum will feature breakout sessions on a variety of technology topics geared towards librarians and library technology staff.

This session, Tech Talk: Lending Electronic Devices, will last about 60 minutes and have four panelists. Each member of the panel will have an opportunity to talk about electronic device lending opportunities that they have implemented in their library.

We are looking for speakers for one of the topics we wish to present : "Video Gaming in the Library". I'm acting as the coordinator for this presentation for the TLN Tech Forum Committee. We currently have 2 speakers currently on board: Michael Shereda (Farmington) and Kathleen Kozlowski (Orion Township). We would like to have a total of 3 or 4 speakers, who will discuss what they have done for 10 to 15 minutes each, and then have 10 to 15 minutes of questions for all panelists. Each will discuss: ? What games they?ve played in programs ? What platform they chose and why ? What kind of patrons attend (age/sex/etc) ? How many patrons attend (round numbers) ? What kind of reaction from the attendees (do they want more?) ? What kind of costs for equipment ? How long was the game relevant (ex: we ran DDR at the Northville Library for about 3 years, then it bottomed out) ? Did the program result in patrons who return to the library for other purposes? (as in: did the video games introduce them to other services the Library offers?) ? What they believe the benefit of gaming in the Library is Also, Do you have any pictures from gaming programs? Would you be interested in being a panelist? Any speaker for the event will receive free admission to the rest of the Tech Forum, which generally pulls in mostly from the TLN service area, but often from around the state with an overall Forum attendance around 100 to 150 people. We may see between 20 to 50 people for the presentation on Video Gaming in the Library (just a guess right now :) Let me know if you're interested as soon as possible.

This includes destinations such as Michigan Science Center, Detroit Institute of Arts, Holocaust Memorial Center, Southern Michigan Railroad, Sloan Museum, Meadow Brook Hall, Upper Peninsula Children's Museum, and so many others. As we have built close relationships with our renewing cultural partners, so too have we continued to reach out to potential new venues, pointing out to them the benefits that will come their way courtesy of a new relationship with Michigan's 5,043,700 registered public library patrons via the MAP program. To that end I am extremely pleased to present to you and your patrons our newest MAP partner, which is the subject of this message. Yes, Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry has joined the Michigan Activity Pass program! Is that cool or what?! Shepler's will offer discounts on their ferry boat ride to Mackinac Island from both Mackinaw City and St. Ignace, as well as discounts on their Shepler's Lighthouse Cruises. Does that news float your boat? How do you think your patrons will react? The definition of a boat has traditionally been "a hole in the water into which you pour money." But for Michigan public library patrons who partake of MAP, Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry will be a boat of a different color. I know you will want to share this exciting news with your patrons by way of adding the MAP website http://michiganactivitypass.info to your library's homepage, as well as by making available the MAP promotional materials at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ Shepler's will begin their partnership with MAP, along with all of our other new venues (remember, 230+ DNR sites, too!) on May 24.

That said, more than one of our MAP partners is a commercial venture, which means that they are taking a "hit" at the gate by virtue of their participation in the MAP program. As that is the case, I am not opposed to reciprocity by way of sharing relevant information from MAP partners with libraries. I suspect Shelper's Mackinac Island Ferry and Shepler's Lighthouse Cruise will prove to be popular MAP venues with Michigan public library patrons. To that end, I have attached pdf copies of both the 2015 Mackinac Island Ferry and 2015 Lighthouse Cruise schedules for you to share with patrons. Happy sailing!

MAP Will Really Float Your Patron's Boat, Beginning May 24 All, TLN was closed for the Good Friday holiday, so when going through this morning's three day accumulation of email I was VERY pleased to see such a huge number of "yes, of course we are renewing MAP for 2015-2016" messages in my inbox from our current MAP cultural partners. This includes destinations such as Michigan Science Center, Detroit Institute of Arts, Holocaust Memorial Center, Southern Michigan Railroad, Sloan Museum, Meadow Brook Hall, Upper Peninsula Children's Museum, and so many others. As we have built close relationships with our renewing cultural partners, so too have we continued to reach out to potential new venues, pointing out to them the benefits that will come their way courtesy of a new relationship with Michigan's 5,043,700 registered public library patrons via the MAP program. To that end I am extremely pleased to present to you and your patrons our newest MAP partner, which is the subject of this message. Yes, Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry has joined the Michigan Activity Pass program! Is that cool or what?! Shepler's will offer discounts on their ferry boat ride to Mackinac Island from both Mackinaw City and St. Ignace, as well as discounts on their Shepler's Lighthouse Cruises. Does that news float your boat? How do you think your patrons will react? The definition of a boat has traditionally been "a hole in the water into which you pour money." But for Michigan public library patrons who partake of MAP, Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry will be a boat of a different color. I know you will want to share this exciting news with your patrons by way of adding the MAP website http://michiganactivitypass.info to your library's homepage, as well as by making available the MAP promotional materials at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ Shepler's will begin their partnership with MAP, along with all of our other new venues (remember, 230+ DNR sites, too!) on May 24. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Message-ID: <089701d072c6$2eb37bb0$8c1a7310$@gossagesager.com> Executive Director ? The Westport Library (CT) Transform. Transcend. Deliver. Be the next leader of the preeminent public library in Connecticut. The Board of Trustees of The Westport Library seeks an experienced, engaged and energetic Executive Director who will build on the Library?s innovative and award-winning programs and patron-centric service to achieve even greater levels of excellence. The Westport Library is a vibrant and welcoming community hub that reflects Westport?s spirit, creativity and entrepreneurship. Each day, an average of 1,300 patrons of all ages visit the Library to read and research (borrowing nearly 674,000 items last year), attend one of the Library?s 1,600 programs, consult with the Library?s expert reference librarians, use one of the Library?s ten 3-D printers, shop the Library store, meet friends at the Library Caf? or simply enjoy the camaraderie of being in a dynamic shared space. In 2013 the Library Journal designated the Westport Library as a ?Five-Star Library?, a distinction earned by less than 1% of the nation?s libraries. The Library was also among the first in the nation to establish a Maker Space, a place for creation, collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship, and in 2013 the Library was awarded a major IMLS grant to support and enhance its Maker Space programs. The Westport Library has been devoted to enriching the intellectual lives of Westport since 1886. The Westport Library Association is organized in Connecticut as an independent 501(c)(3) organization. It is supported by a $4.3 million annual Town appropriation and supplemented by an active development effort, as well as grants, fees and earned income, resulting in a $5.6 million annual operating budget. The Library is currently in the ?quiet phase? of a Capital Campaign aimed at transforming its physical space to better support the needs of 21st century library users. Westport is a beautiful coastal Connecticut town located just one hour northeast of New York City. Once an artists? colony, the town has held strong to its cultural roots while developing into a thriving and engaged community. With a population of approximately 26,500 people, Westport?s small-town atmosphere provides residents with a haven away from the bustle of larger cities, a vibrant downtown area that offers everything from one-of-a-kind boutiques to luxury retail locations and a diverse array of restaurants. Home of a vigorous arts community, Westport offers exhibitions, cultural events and outstanding performances at notable venues such as the Westport Country Playhouse and The Levitt Pavilion. Westport also boasts a first-rate public school system, excellent private schools, a municipal golf course and an environmental awareness with ventures including the Wakeman Town Farm, the Earthplace Nature and Discovery Center and its own recycling efforts. A wide range of leisure activities and effective and efficient services provided by Town government contribute to a quality of life difficult to find elsewhere. For more about the Library, the Town and the surrounding communities, see Westport Links. Responsibilities. Reporting to the Westport Library Board of Trustees (currently a 20-member body, half of whom are Town Meeting appointees and half of whom are appointed by the Board itself), the Executive Director serves as the leader of the Library and is its primary public representative. The Executive Director works in partnership with the Board to ensure that the Library fulfills its mission and creates the strategies that will secure its future success, including completing the current Capital Campaign and refining and implementing the final phase of the strategy for the Library?s Transformation Project. Working under the Board, the Executive Director has a high degree of independence and is responsible for the overall implementation of the Library?s strategic plan and administration of day-to-day operations. The successful candidate will build positive, productive relationships with external stakeholders in the Town government and in the broader community; ensure that the right staff are in the right positions and are meeting and exceeding performance expectations; ensure continued excellence in programs and services; and ensure that the Library continues at the forefront of innovation. Qualifications. The ideal candidate will have an advanced degree in a relevant field (a Master?s Degree in Library Science is desirable, but not required) and significant relevant work experience, including experience in an executive capacity with a comparable government, business, museum, higher education or nonprofit enterprise. Essential attributes and skills include: proven success with development programs and experience with a capital campaign; excellent writing, communication and presentation skills; ability to connect with people and build consensus; intellectual agility and political savvy; an understanding of and dedication to customer service, intellectual freedom and equal access for all; and energy and enthusiasm with a commitment to the needs of a demanding position. Prior experience with a major capital building project is a desirable qualification. Compensation. The position offers a hiring salary range of $130,000-160,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an attractive benefits package. For information, contact Bradbury Associates/Gossage Sager Associates via email or phone. Apply via email with a meaningful cover letter and your resume as Word or pdf attachments to Dan Bradbury or Jobeth Bradbury. This position closes April 12, 2015.

We had used them for our cards for at least 10 years. I always dealt with a particular sales rep who is no longer with the company. After being assigned a new sales rep, I ordered our cards on April 24th (last year) and was told it would take 4 weeks for our cards to be done since we were using existing artwork, etc. To make a very long, frustrating story short, we still did not have usable cards by July 3rd and no promise we were going to get usable cards anytime soon. I cancelled the order and went with Metcom. I have only placed a couple of orders with them but they are a Michigan based company and, so far, have been very reliable and accommodating. Our sales rep there is Tom Warnez. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lindsey Dorfman" To: michlib-l at mcls.org Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2015 8:55:55 AM Subject: [Michlib-l] Library Card Vendor Hello, I'm looking into getting our library cards redesigned.

Message-ID: We have been seeing a large increase in internet traffic and our wireless setup is simply not holding up. A particular problem is patrons using our wireless for torrents. Do any of you have policies in place regarding a limit on high-bandwidth activities? It is frustrating for our other patrons, many of whom are using the connection for schooling and business purposes, not to mention the staff trying to use VERSO. We currently have 6MB service through our provider (the highest package offered in our area) connected to an old router and switch. We have 5 public computers, one catalog computer, and one staff station all direct-wired through the switch and at any given time 2-10 wireless devices attached. Our current router is a Netgear N300 WNR2000v2. We're looking to upgrade and add a wireless access point to allow us better control, but that does not make our current situation any easier to handle.

Below I have some additional information about how the process works. To order tech devices from the device purchasing bid, libraries (and schools) will need a SPOT account. Here is an FAQ about the process: http://22itrig.org/activities/activity-four/spot-faqs/. Please note that libraries will need to choose "Non-public" in the drop-down when they register as a SPOT user. This does not refer to your status as a library, it's a quirky field that originally applied to schools only. * The order form will be at www.remcbids.org. * If you have questions or need help with the SPOT registration and ordering process, please email spothelp at remc.org. * Please note that the purchasing window opens on April 15th and will extend longer than my initial announcement. Purchasing extends to 9/30/15. * For full program information, please refer to the Statewide Device Purchasing Program website: http://22itrig.org/activities/activity-four/ Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan 702 W.

The material is cheaper and thinner than pool noodles.

Message-ID: Hi everyone, I complained to a friend who is a speech therapist about some frustrating interactions I've had lately with patrons who I couldn't help because I couldn't communicate with them. She suggested something called a communication board or picture board, which is pretty much what it sounds like. The common one you'll find if you do a search is this one: http://www.bindependent.com/product/snc100/VidaTak-Picture-Communication-Board/ They're often used for people in hospitals who can't communicate due to medical reasons, but they can also help people who are nonverbal or in cases where two individuals just don't share a common language. I'd like to create something like this for my library, but I can't find any good models that are oriented to common tasks in libraries (a library card, a printer, something to symbolize checking out an item, etc.). Does anyone use something like this in their library? If so, I would really appreciate it if you could send me a description and/or picture. Thanks so much, Emma Olmstead-Rumsey Library Assistant Capital Area District Libraries, Lansing -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I would like to hear from similar libraries about: - How your City handles major building expenditures -- capital improvement expenditures. - Do you have that defined in writing anywhere? If so, would you be willing to share that? - Does your City assess the full millage that can be assessed? Does a portion of that get set aside in a capital improvement fund every year? A little background about our situation. In the past we've consistently hit a brick wall with major building expenditures, even though the City owns the building, due to this wording in the state law regarding our type of library: *"CITY, VILLAGE, AND TOWNSHIP LIBRARIES (EXCERPT)* *Act 164 of 1877* *397.205 Governing board; president; officers; powers and duties; library fund; expenditures; establishment and maintenance of public library and reading room.* Sec. 5. The governing board of a library shall, immediately after appointment, meet and organize, by the election of 1 member as president, and by the election of other officers as necessary. The governing board shall make and adopt bylaws, rules, and regulations for its own guidance and for the government of the library and reading room, consistent with this act. The governing board has exclusive control of the expenditure of all money collected to the credit of the library fund, the construction of any library building, and the supervision, care, and custody of the grounds, rooms, or buildings constructed, leased, or set apart for that purpose. All money received for the library shall be deposited in the treasury of the city to the credit of the library fund, shall be kept separate and apart from other money of the city, and drawn upon by the proper officers of the city upon the properly authenticated vouchers of the library board. The governing board may purchase or lease grounds and occupy, lease, or erect an appropriate building or buildings for the use of the library; has the power to appoint a suitable librarian and necessary assistants and fix their compensation; and remove appointees. The governing board shall carry out the spirit and intent of this act in establishing and maintaining a public library and reading room. *History:* 1877, Act 164, Eff. Aug. 21, 1877 ;-- How. 5179 ;-- CL 1897, 3453 ;-- CL 1915, 3435 ;-- CL 1929, 8063 ;-- CL 1948, 397.205 ;-- Am. 2014, Act 131, Imd. Eff. May 27, 2014" *The City has also, at some time in the past, chosen to not assess the full millage rate (taking Headlee rollbacks into account) that they could assess for library services. We do have a significant amount in our operating budget set aside for regular building maintenance. But we've been facing, over the last few years, major capital improvement expenditures that aren't even close to being covered by our operating budget. Again, the resistance we keep encountering is due to the wording noted above even though the Board doesn't own the building or the grounds... the City does. * *Any insight any of you can provide would be greatly appreciated. * Thank you, -- Stephanie Masin, Director Maud Preston Palenske Memorial Library 500 Market St. St. Joseph, MI 49085 269-983-7167 (phone) 269-983-5804 (fax) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Prime Time is such an excellent program! I highly recommend you click the link below and check it out. We implemented Prime Time at our library several years ago and found it to be one of the most rewarding programs we've offered. It is a very detailed program that considers every hurdle that might keep families from attending and addresses them: free meal, free transportation, and free childcare in a pre-school format for the little ones, and also includes incentives for families to attend such as raffle prizes and freebies. Many of the families who participated are still strong library users. It really does have an impact on parents and children together becoming active library users, and it's especially unique in the way it encourages parents and children to read and discuss humanities topics that are raised in beautifully illustrated award-winning children's books. Some of the discussions that took place in the library (using just children's picture books!) were just amazing. But not only that, Prime Time provided opportunities for many community members to volunteer to help run the program. By the fourth, fifth and sixth weeks volunteers and participants alike all felt like one big family as a meal was shared and then the families entered the circle and the storyteller read a book, followed by a humanities scholar lead the kind of discussion that promotes critical thinking skills. It's such a rich program combining reading, deep thinking, and discussion of issues that every human can relate to. If you read this far, you should apply!

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: TJ, I highly recommend getting an Open-Mesh access point. They are comparable to the very popular Meraki access points, but are MUCH cheaper. $100 an access point versus $300. Open-Mesh also doesn't require an annual license fee. It is very easy to setup. Just plug it in to your switch and visit your provided CloudTrax.com account to add the access point to your network. If you wish to deploy more for expanded coverage, you don't have to plug each one in to the switch. You can just plug them in to a power outlet and they act as a repeater. There are many security and bandwidth settings in the CloudTrax.com account: - You can have two networks (staff and public) - Password protect the staff - Splash screen for the public (accept library policy) - Redirect users to a custom URL - Limit the bandwidth for all connected devices - You can block devices that are abusing the network - You can block connected devices from seeing devices on your wired network - You can block connected devices from seeing other connected devices - The access point(s) upgrade firmware automatically I'd be happy to answer more questions.

We will learn a few simple steps about how to respond to crisis situations. We will also look at the myths and facts surrounding mental health concerns. Michael Pyne has worked in social work for 30 years. Michael Pyne, Mental Health First Aid instructor/Chairman of Suicide Prevention Coalition in Muskegon County Marketing Library Marketing Have you heard this advice, "If you're leading a parade, make sure someone is following you"? In my current position, I've come to recognize that library marketing is like leading a very, very long parade. Keeping it compelling, fresh and fun and interesting can be a challenge. Some people question the need to promote the library at all. More people are convinced that they can do marketing themselves. You just make flyers, right? (Sound familiar librarians?) Throw in how social media keeps changing the "parade route" by altering the landscape and marketing libraries can be a struggle. Heidi Nagel, Kent District Libraries Managing Organizational Ripples Before The Tsunami Occurs In 2011, Macomb Community College implemented a new era of collaborative leadership under the administrative umbrella of the Dean of Learning Resources and Libraries. Dr. Michael Balsamo, a career business and project manager, was placed in charge of a newly combined area with limited knowledge in the specific area of library resources. Experience the management techniques, skills and style that helped a NNLL (New Non-Librarian Leader) to successfully empower, motivate and build relationships among staff, students, faculty and administration. This session will discuss motivating employees to build relationships, breaking down of departmental silos, span of control, ripple management and organizational equity. Dr. Michael J. Balsamo, Macomb Community College Collaborative Marketing Across Public, Private and Non-Profit Organizations Optimizing your marketing opportunities and expanding audiences often means leveraging your cultural capital, especially when collaborating with community partners. It's important to understand the value of what each partner brings to the table and how to align with a diverse group of organizations in the public, private and non-profit sectors while staying true to your mission. This session will discuss basic principles of collaborative business models and governance, processes for aligning interests and intersecting missions, organizing a unified marketing plan and staying on message throughout.

Heather Holmes will be teaching the class "Research for Hospital Librarians" at WSU's Shiffman Medical Library on Friday, May 1, 2015. She will also be teaching this class at the MLA conference in Austin, so now is the perfect time to take the class for a much lower rate! Hospital libraries are being forced to change their focus and end goals to align with the changing face of healthcare. Demonstrating value in hospital libraries now means proving the library saves the institution money rather than more traditional metrics. This course will help hospital librarians gain a better understanding of what types of research they can do to help prove value, whether it be formal research or quality initiatives/applied research. Formal research methods will be covered, including the IRB process, but to a lesser extent than applied research. At the end of this class participants should have a better understanding of how to approach and complete projects, particularly applied research projects, which is generally a more feasible option for hospital librarians. The MDMLG Professional Development Committee invites you to attend the CE Course "Research for Hospital Librarians" taught by Heather Holmes on Friday, May 1, 2015, from 9am to 1pm in the Shiffman Medical Library. This course is accredited for 4 MLA CE credits. We hope you can join us! Please register, using the online form (http://www.mdmlg.org/CE%20Registration%2005-01-2015.doc) by April 24th! Cost is $50.00 for MDMLG members and $70.00 for non-members. Payment can be made through PayPal (http://www.mdmlg.org/paypal-ce-5-1-2015.htm) or by sending a check. We look forward to seeing you!

All computers that talk to each other are on the same subnet (if a computer?s IP address is 192.168.0.5, the subnet is ?0?). If you setup your Wi-Fi router/access point to distribute addresses to Wi-Fi computers on a separate subnet (say 192.168.1.5, the subnet is ?1?), then any computers with the different 0/1 subnets cannot talk to each other. This configuration is greatly different depending on your hardware, but usually you can do it without spending a lot of money on expensive equipment.

What makes things popular? Why do people talk about certain products and ideas more than others? Why are some stories and rumors more infectious? And what makes online content go viral? These are some of the questions addressed in the book. MCLS invited library staff across Indiana and Michigan to place votes on one of four titles to select one book that we will all read and discuss together for professional development. Jonah Berger?s book captured the most votes. In Contagious, he reveals the secret science behind word-of-mouth and social transmission. He explains how six basic principles drive all sorts of things to become contagious, from consumer products and policy initiatives to workplace rumors and YouTube videos. Contagious combines groundbreaking research with powerful stories. MCLS encourages library staff to read the book throughout April and May. Related free events, such as regional discussions, live twitter chats, and google hangout discussions will be announced and take place through the summer. According to Randy Dykhuis, MCLS Executive Director, ?During 2014, MCLS conducted a series of community conversations with librarians throughout Indiana and Michigan, utilizing the tools from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation. The desire to have discussions in many formats, and to communicate with one another outside of our silos was a recurring theme. By reading one book together, we aim to create deeper connections among libraries that span geographic and other boundaries.? If you would like to host and lead a discussion for other librarians at your location, send an email to Heather Ladiski at ladiskih at mcls.org.

Yes, I also want to keep wireless traffic away from the staff network. For that, I have an unsecured guest wireless network for the public, and I think that is working to keep them separate.

All, I am pleased to announce that TLN has entered into a new partnership with Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman of the Emmy Award winning PBS show Under The Radar Michigan and Scribe Publishing Company http://utrmichigan.com/ They probably need no introduction to the Michigan library community, but here is what the director of one TLN library had to say about UTR: "We hosted the Under the Radar guys and it was fabulous. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman from UTR accomplished something that doesn't happen often: they made us laugh over and over * and * reminded us how great Michiganders are. UTR isn't about "the best of the best" it's about the unique towns, festivals and travel opportunities there are in our state. It really boils down to the people behind these destinations. The coolest thing is that Tom and Jim are a Michigan success story themselves. They both found themselves out of work during the recession. They knew each other as fellow media professionals, so they put their heads together and started pitching ideas to PBS. Their book sales were brisk (we're hoping there can be a group discounted buy, maybe, for public libraries in Michigan?). At least four of our guests (full-house) said it was the best program they'd ever attended! Don't you want to have them, too?" As part of our partnership Tom and Jim are offering Michigan libraries a discounted purchase opportunity for their book Under the Radar: Michigan http://scribe-publishing-company.myshopify.com/products/utr as well as the four dvd set of their show. Michigan libraries can purchase the book for just $16.00. List price is $24.95. Michigan libraries can purchase the complete four dvd set of the show for just $90.00. List price is $120.00. TLN will place one consolidated order, ship to your library, pay the vendor invoice, then bill your library. Please email your order(s) for the book and/or dvd set to me by no later than Friday, February 13. In order to facilitate the distribution process here, we ask that non-TLN libraries also include their RIDES delivery number with their order. The other aspect of this new partnership concerns promotion by UTR of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program. Both Tom and Jim are media professionals. Their UTR Facebook https://www.facebook.com/UTRMichigan page has in excess of 45,000 likes. Their willingness to include MAP in their social media presence will be a huge boost to the promotional aspect of the program. To wit, here is what UTR has agreed to do, promotion-wise, with and for the MAP program: ** Support MAP communication efforts via their Social Media world ** Include a minimum of 1 post per month profiling events, press, news, etc that are part of MAP communication efforts ** Provide MAP with an ad presence for one year on the utrmichigan.com (Size: 90x120) ** UTR will include MAP events or news in its monthly newsletter, once per quarter. That is a lot of promotion, and it sounds like a lot of work, too! I think libraries are getting the easier end of the deal here :) Again, please send your orders for the UTR: Michigan book and/or four dvd set to my attention by no later than Friday, February 13. And don't forget to include that RIDES delivery number! Thanks.

The Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) is pleased to announce ?Library Match?, a new project designed to facilitate communication among our members. During the six-month pilot phase, which has been generously underwritten by The H.W. Wilson Foundation, Library Match will pair four public libraries in Indiana with four Michigan public libraries. The peers are of similar size and serve comparable communities. The project?s goal is to provide opportunities for library staff to develop relationships with librarians in the other state. They will mentor one another, expand professional connections, share staff training opportunities and expertise, conduct co-marketing activities and develop collaborative public programs. The participating libraries will be provided with the video-conferencing equipment needed to connect, communicate and collaborate with their peer library. They will be trained on the use of the equipment, required to conduct a minimum of three specific activities together, and encouraged to do more. ?Our 2014 community conversations revealed that librarians throughout Indiana and Michigan are eager to share their expertise with other librarians,? Randy Dykhuis, MCLS Executive Director commented. ?This program gives them that opportunity, with the additional benefit of interacting with librarians in another state. By expanding the geographic scope of their conversations, we expect librarians in both states will learn new ways to serve their patrons.? The Library Match "teams" are: Indiana Michigan ? Brownsburg Public Library ? Delta Township District Library ? Hagerstown Jefferson Township Public Library ? Pickford Community Library (affiliate Superior District Library) ? Crown Point Community Library ? Peter White Public Library (Marquette) ? Kokomo-Howard County Public Library ? Troy Public Library MCLS will report on the activities undertaken by the Library Match participants throughout the life of the project. MCLS, a nonprofit membership organization, works with its members and other organizations to further the reach and impact of libraries of all sizes and types.

But in recent years we have seen an increasing number of incidents whereby that water is in the news. Last summer the drinking water supply for extreme southern Monroe County was interrupted when its supplier, Toledo, determined that its Lake Erie water was contaminated by microcystin bacteria (blue-green algae). The city of Flint switched its water supplier from long-time purveyor Detroit, to its own source (the Flint River), which we read has been fraught with challenges. Etc. In response to this increasing number of drinking water related news events and incidents, the EPA last week released the Safe Drinking Water Act dashboard, a website that tracks whether public water systems are complying with the laws that keep our water safe and clean. Here is a link to the Safe Drinking Water Act Dashboard to share with your patrons: http://echo.epa.gov/trends/comparative-maps-dashboards/drinking-water-dashboard Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury at tln.lib.mi.us From smase at mmll.org Thu Apr 16 11:08:58 2015 From: smase at mmll.org (Sheryl Mase) Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 08:08:58 -0700 Subject: [Michlib-l] library as connector to social services Message-ID: <20150416080858.52975ed22514a156f4ec5286f5de4533.da366e41ac.mailapi@email13.secureserver.net> Tuesday, April 21, 2015 The Community Connector: Referring Social Services at Your Library This webinar, co-hosted with TechSoup for Libraries, explores the library as connector to community social services, using a variety of referral tools and resources. 2:00-3:00 p.m. Eastern Time In light of the conversations we have been having, this may be an interesting webinar. ~Sheryl ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sheryl L.

At its February 2015 conference, the College Art Association released its new Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for the Visual Arts (http://www.collegeart.org/fair-use/). The Code provides visual arts professionals with a set of principles addressing best practices in the fair use of copyrighted materials. It describes how fair use can be invoked and implemented when using copyrighted materials in scholarship, teaching, museums, archives/libraries, and in the creation of art. The Code addresses the following five questions: Analytic Writing: When may scholars and other writers about art invoke fair use to quote, excerpt, or reproduce copyrighted works? Teaching about Art: When may teachers invoke fair use in using copyrighted works to support formal instruction in a range of settings, including online and distance teaching? Making Art: Under what circumstances may artists invoke fair use to incorporate copyrighted material into new artworks in any medium? Museum Uses: When may museums and their staffs invoke fair use in using copyrighted works-including images and text as well as time-based and born-digital material-when organizing exhibitions, developing educational materials (within the museum and online), publishing catalogs, and other related activities? Online Access to Archival and Special Collections: When may archives, libraries, and other institutions and their staffs invoke fair use to create digital preservation copies and/or enable digital access to copyrighted materials in their collections? A grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation is funding a series of regional sessions to present the Code and encourage discussion about its implications. Cranbrook Art Museum will host a session on Thursday, April 30, 2015, from 1:30-4:00 pm in the museum's deSalle Auditorium. Patricia Aufderheide, one of the Lead Principal Investigators for the Code, and Janet Landay, Project Manager for the Fair Use Initiative at the College Art Association, will outline the creation and the applications of the document. This will be followed by responses from five Detroit-area visual arts professionals. The afternoon will end with an open session for questions and discussion by all those in attendance. Please see the attached flyer for more information. The session is free and open to the public, but we do ask that you RSVP to jdyki at cranbrook.edu. Please distribute this invitation widely to others in your institution and professional networks. And do plan to come early (12:30-1:30 pm) for light refreshments and an opportunity to view the 2015 Graduate Degree Exhibition at the Cranbrook Art Museum (free admission for session attendees). We look forward to seeing you there!

In one area, aimed at adults and teens, the movies are divided by genre (Mystery, Informational, Musicals, etc.). We have a separate section of DVDs in the children's area, and that section is divided into "Children's" and "Family." "Children's" is educational DVDs as well as movies that are really aimed at young children. "Family" is feature-length movies, animated or live action, that are aimed mainly at kids but that parents hopefully won't mind watching. As a rule of thumb, G-rated movies go in Children's and PG movies go in Family. Occasionally patrons search for a family movie in the adult/teen area and are surprised not to find it, but overall the system seems to work very well. Hope that's helpful, Emma On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 5:01 PM, Jaema Berman wrote: > Dear Colleagues, > > We are reorganizing our DVD collections and wonder how you manage it.

We now have them grouped by TV Series, Family, Adult, Non-Fiction and Juvenile. We put spine stickers on them to identify what part of the collection they belong to. Juvenile DVDs include mostly animated shows like Dora, Elmo and Bob the Builder. Full length movies are in the Family section and are G and PG. All PG-13 and R movies are in the Adult section. We found that we had to make a judgment call on non-rated DVDs. Take a look at the "slider" on the main page of our website for a photo of our new Family section.

Do you mainly look at the ratings and divide your collections into Adults: R and PG13, Teens PG and PG13 and Children: G and PG? Or do you put them all together with proper labeling to guide patrons? Also, do you call your DVD collections anything other than Adult, Teen or Child/Youth? I appreciate your insight and advice. Sincerely, Jaema -- Jaema Berman Director Addison Twp.

We now have them grouped by TV Series, Family, Adult, Non-Fiction and Juvenile. We put spine stickers on them to identify what part of the collection they belong to. Juvenile DVDs include mostly animated shows like Dora, Elmo and Bob the Builder. Full length movies are in the Family section and are G and PG. All PG-13 and R movies are in the Adult section. We found that we had to make a judgment call on non-rated DVDs. Take a look at the "slider" on the main page of our website for a photo of our new Family section.

Message-ID: <7febc6745cce4c59faa9721583cb9f1d@winntel.net> Hello everyone, We've got some amazing programs running at our library, but we've run into some problems recently. Our patron, K, has been an important participant in many of our programs, and was one of few patrons that have been with us from the start of many of them. K's personality can be loud, and at times aggressive and/or confrontational. K is always wanting to play the 'devil's advocate' in discussions, and can come off as disrespectful to the feelings/ideas of others. It can turn many discussions into fights. We've attempted to increase the number of staff at programs so that we can redirect discussions and keep the programs on topic, but it feels useless. We are losing many prospective members that join us for an event, but then do not return, largely due to being made to feel uncomfortable. We are also uncomfortable inviting speakers to come to the library because of this particular issue. So I am tapping the collective awesome that is michlib-l to see what suggestions you all can share with us. Many thanks!

Heather Holmes will be teaching the class "Research for Hospital Librarians" at WSU's Shiffman Medical Library on Friday, May 1, 2015. She will also be teaching this class at the MLA conference in Austin, so now is the perfect time to take the class for a much lower rate! Hospital libraries are being forced to change their focus and end goals to align with the changing face of healthcare. Demonstrating value in hospital libraries now means proving the library saves the institution money rather than more traditional metrics. This course will help hospital librarians gain a better understanding of what types of research they can do to help prove value, whether it be formal research or quality initiatives/applied research. Formal research methods will be covered, including the IRB process, but to a lesser extent than applied research. At the end of this class participants should have a better understanding of how to approach and complete projects, particularly applied research projects, which is generally a more feasible option for hospital librarians. The MDMLG Professional Development Committee invites you to attend the CE Course "Research for Hospital Librarians" taught by Heather Holmes on Friday, May 1, 2015, from 9am to 1pm in the Shiffman Medical Library. This course is accredited for 4 MLA CE credits. We hope you can join us! Please register, using the online form (http://www.mdmlg.org/CE%20Registration%2005-01-2015.doc) by April 24th! Cost is $50.00 for MDMLG members and $70.00 for non-members. Payment can be made through PayPal (http://www.mdmlg.org/paypal-ce-5-1-2015.htm) or by sending a check. We look forward to seeing you!

Director-Carmel Clay Public Library (IN) Message-ID: <099a01d07c32$fc9ed0e0$f5dc72a0$@gossagesager.com> Library Director-Carmel Clay (IN) Public Library Connect|Discover a "once in a lifetime library opportunity" in a beautiful Midwest setting. The Board of Trustees of the Carmel Clay (IN) Public Library seeks a visionary, strategic leader with passion, creativity, and innovation to lead a stellar organization and community forward providing quality services and programs. The CCPL seven-member Board of Trustees is searching for that unique candidate who has the energy and enthusiasm and ability to recognize and contribute to the Library's successes and solid foundation in the Carmel Clay area. The new Director will bring a talent to engage staff and the public in showcasing and expanding the Library's role in the community to include a "library without walls;" a welcoming, warm physical space for Carmel citizens connecting to each other; collaborative external partnerships; and being a strong, clear voice for CCPL. The Carmel Clay Public Library staff serves 86,000 residents through a single 116,000 sq. ft. Library (opened in 1999). With a $6.5 million annual budget, the Library circulated 2.1 million items in 2014 and hosted 2,000+ programs. Carmel, Indiana, CNN Money Magazine's No 1 Place to Live in America (2012), has transformed itself from a sleepy suburban edge city of Indianapolis to a fast-growing, economically-thriving vibrant city that is no longer simply a place to sleep at night. Carmel citizens are highly educated and value Carmel's excellent schools, low taxes, and safe neighborhoods. It is a coveted place to live with distinct areas and architecture. A progressive city government has adopted a new-urbanism approach to planning-attracting a younger population starting out in their careers and a seasoned citizenry who are looking for empty-nester living. The City's approach to walkability has made Carmel one of the most bike-friendly communities in Indiana. You can live, work, shop, and enjoy a high quality of life without a car. Signature attractions include the Carmel Arts and Design District (galleries, restaurants, and shops); the Center for the Performing Arts under the artistic direction of Michael Feinstein, and home for his Great American Songbook Foundation; and the Monon Community Center-an outdoor nature and water park. For more information on the Carmel Clay Public Library and the Carmel Clay area, see Carmel Clay Links. Responsibilities. The Library Director serves as the chief executive officer of the Library and is responsible for the administration of all library functions within the goals, guidelines, and policies established by the Library Board of Trustees. This responsibility includes the organization and dissemination of information and services through the effective utilization of library resources. The Director is also responsible for the facilities, financial management, and personnel of the library, under the governance and oversight of the Board. The Director is expected to provide a leadership role within the Library, the community, and the library profession. The Director serves as the official representative of the Library. See Library Director job description for additional details. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications for the position are an ALA-accredited Master's Degree in Library Science and the ability to obtain and retain professional certification in compliance with Indiana state law. Preferred qualifications are a minimum of eight years of library experience with at least four years of administrative experience. Essential attributes and skills include: vision, creativity, energy and enthusiasm; superior written and oral communications skills; demonstrated success in effectively promoting library services to the community; political acumen; sound fiscal and budgeting skills; collaborative and consensus-building skills; experience in recruiting, mentoring, evaluating and retaining an excellent staff; and a thorough knowledge of current trends and "best practices" for library service. Proven success working effectively with a policy-making board is highly desirable. Compensation. The starting salary range is $95,000-120,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) with an attractive benefits package. For further information contact Bradbury Associates/Gossage Sager Associates via email or telephone. To start the application process, send a meaningful cover letter and your resume as Word or pdf attachments to Dan Bradbury or Jobeth Bradbury. The position closes April 26, 2015.

PWPL must refund about $9,350 due to a Tribunal ruling on the Lowes store in Marquette Township, one of our contracted townships. The store opened in 2008, and continues to operate today. The assessment was reduced by 63%, going back three years. The library could be on the hook for tens of thousands in further refunds, along with decreased revenues going forward at the new assessed values, as more stores win appeals. Every millage-funded entity also has to issue refunds. Of course, it?s worse for the Township, because they are hit directly. The recent *Detroit Free Press* article ?Big Box Stores Ringing up Property Tax Discounts? from April 11, 2015 gave a good summary of the situation. http://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/2015/04/11/big-box-stores-reduced-property-assessments/25649545/ The Michigan Supreme Court refused to hear the case involving the local Lowes, and Home Depot in Breitung Township. Township officials were told it?s not a state-wide issue, though it certainly is one. The precedent for this interpretation of tax law actually started with a case in Novi, Michigan in 2010, involving the assessment of a Target store. You can search the Michigan Tax Tribunal docket at the link below for open cases in your area. http://taxdocketlookup.lara.state.mi.us/Search.aspx Settled cases will not appear in the results, nor will the massive backlog of cases that aren?t on the docket yet. Also, from my understanding, rather than spend tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, many municipalities are now settling with property owners without going to the Tribunal. These cases not only affect various types of local funding. The State, which is already facing a budget crisis, has to make up education dollars lost in these reassessments. This is a decrease in revenues, based on an interpretation of the Michigan Constitution, made by a small group of unelected people. They base their property reassessments on closed stores, hundreds of miles away, which could have deed restrictions on them that make them unusable to many potential buyers, and thus are not comparable facilities. The PWPL hosted an informational session about the dark store issue on April 9th 2015. The capacity crowd of around 150 included all the local media. One of the topics was legislation to close the dark store loophole. Legislation was introduced last year that would have closed the loophole, but it died in the House. It has been re-worked, constitutionally vetted, and should be reintroduced within the next month by our legislators; Representative John Kivela (D), and Senator Tom Casperson (R). I?m only scratching the surface of this issue.

Several of you were interested in the responses I received, so I've compiled them here. I generalized all of the libraries just in case any of you preferred that I not share your specific information with the group. Some very good information was shared as well as insight into potential ways of addressing our building/funding issues. I will likely be contacting a couple of you directly in the near future for additional information. Again, thank you! *City Library ?A?* ?As I understand it (and I am not a lawyer), the governing board should annually tell the City how much of the approved library millage to collect. The board should also approve the budget for the library. If the board wishes a portion of the budget to be reserved for capital improvements, they could approve by resolution a designated capital improvements fund, and budget for a transfer to that fund. Then in years when an improvement is needed, they can tap into that reserve fund. However, since the city owns the building, perhaps they should be responsible for improvements. City Library A prepares a 5 year capital improvement plan which is approved by City Council every year. This document helps the City plan for needed/desired improvements. If your City follows a similar procedure, you might want to push for your building improvements to be added to that plan. A caution about City owned buildings. If the City owns it, the City can sell it and keep the proceeds. This happened to City Library A in 2006. So, before you decide to use library millage for capital improvements to property you do not own, you might want to have a legal document drafted clarifying the relationship between the City and Library. *City Library ?B?* ?City Library B does levy 2 mills (one voted on by the community--10 year levy and one that is done by the City Council with a vote of the people per PA 164) The City has a Capital Improvement Plan (5 year plan) that it puts money into. Building improvements, etc. come out of the library's budget for the most part. There was some City money for a fire alarm system. The FY16 budget does not have any City money allocated for capital improvements. Due to budget issues, the City has pushed back repairs on the library (which is a city owned building) and then has removed the money all together so that our fund balance is being allocated for major roof repairs and a fire suppression system (believe it or not the library has no fire suppression system and just got a fire alarm system). I hope this helps. It is not necessarily good news but it sounds like we are in the same boat for capital improvements.? *City Library ?C?* ?We are a City library, and as far as I know, founded by City Charter. The ordinances of the City state the City will provide library services for their residents, so I think we're in the same situation as you are. Our facility was built in 2007 using library funds and a bond that we are still paying off out of our general fund (final payment is April 2016, so we're getting close!). I believe, although I am not 100% certain, that the building and grounds are owned by the City because we are a department of the City and not really a legal entity in our own right, especially because of the bond, which is held by the City. We pay almost all of the maintenance and repair costs for our facility and surrounding grounds (including parking lot, sidewalk, etc.). Capital improvements are paid for out of the library's operating budget. A redesign project was completed in 2008 that I believe cost approximately $70,000 and it was all paid out of the library's fund balance, library grants, private donations, and our operating budget. I would consider that a fairly big capital improvement, although structurally the building was unchanged (new carpet, new shelving, painting of almost the entire interior, new computer station furniture, a larger circulation counter, a large custom art feature/book shelf for the children's room etc.). The City for many years did not assess any millage for operating the library. For a period of time, they annually transferred a portion of money from their general fund into the library fund. This was before my time, but I think $25,000 was typical in the final years before the library director and library board convinced them to levy the full 1 mill authorized to be levied by act of City Council instead of a public ballot initiative. Whatever the City apportionment was, it didn't cover the annual cost of the building payment. I think from 2006 to 2014 they levied the full 1-mill, but since the annual building payment cost over 80% of the millage revenue, I doubt there was any real consideration to decrease that levy. When they decided to levy the mill for operating expenses, they stopped budgeting any money for the library out of their general fund. I was told by the former City Manager that City Council expected to decrease or do away with the 1-mill levy as soon as our building is paid off. That doesn't mean the library board wouldn't have prevailed upon them to continue the levy, but I think it is a fairly strong indication the levy was primarily in place to cover the debt. Last year, we took a millage proposal to the public at the County level (so the six public libraries in the county joined together to get the measure on the ballot with the understanding that if it passed the funds would be distributed to each of the libraries based on their service areas). It was for .5 mill and it passed. The City will be decreasing their local levy to at most .5 mill so residents are not paying more annually than they were before. This was my suggestion. Its still an overall increase in revenue because we will now receive millage revenues from townships we serve, whereas previously it was only residents of the City that paid the millage. I fully expect that once the building is paid off the City will no longer levy the local millage and will only reinstate it if in 7 years the renewal of the County millage fails. It concerns me slightly that the County Commission will have the discretion to not levy the entire .5 mill (less Headlee rollbacks), but there's not much I can do about that. I was told it is unlikely they will levy a lesser amount unless the libraries do not fully utilize the millage funds from a maximum levy.? *City Library ?D? * I wasn?t clear from your email if your library is a General Fund library, or if you have a dedicated millage? (Clarification note... SJ is a dedicated millage set in the City Charter... not General Fund or set City Department) So I am not sure how best to answer your question, but here?s the best I can do: City Library D is a City library founded by a City Charter. Until August 2011, it was a department of the city, and its operations were paid from the City?s General Fund. However, in August 2011, a dedicated millage was passed, so while City Library D remains a department of the City, its funding comes from this dedicated millage and whatever revenue the Library generates. When City Library D was a general fund library, all of its expenses?operating and capital?were paid from the City?s General Fund. In other words, the City was responsible for EVERYTHING. We had an Advisory Board, but they were advisory only. They could advise us (as they used to do) that we should have a $1 million collection budget, but at the end of the day, this was up to the City Council. That?s why City Council ultimately abolished the Library Advisory Board, b/c essentially, they had no power or authority to make changes @ the Library, and other mechanisms are in place as far as Citizen Input and advisory. As a General Fund Library, the Library was in the queue with all of the other City departments in terms of funding?we may have needed some improvements, but the Fire Truck/Road Repair/Police Tasers, etc, came first. So it?s not like we got everything we wanted when we wanted it. Now that the Library has a dedicated millage, all expenditures?operating and capital?are supposed to be covered by this dedicated source of revenue to the Library. In other words, Police/Fire/DPW can?t use library millage revenue for their operations. Having said that, for the 2015-2016 budget year, due to the fact that the library has had some significant building issues, and the millage will not cover general operations + library collections + all of the building repairs, it is being recommended that the City contribute approximately $170,000/year for the next 4 years to the library, for critical building repairs. This is part of the budget process, to be discussed at the end of this month and voted on by City Council in May. City Library D?s millage is 0.70 mils, and the City levies all of it. Anything the library doesn?t spend goes into its fund balance, which is being used for critical building repairs as well (doesn?t cover the full cost, hence the City contributing $170,000/yr, possibly). The City also levies its full millage amount, and a portion of that does go into the City?s Capital Fund. But that covers roads, fire stations, all City Capital needs, of which there are many.? -- Stephanie Masin, Director Maud Preston Palenske Memorial Library 500 Market St. St. Joseph, MI 49085 269-983-7167 (phone) 269-983-5804 (fax) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our procedure is to tell the caller that we cannot page unless the situation is critical enough that our campus police are willing to come walk the building to look for the person. We refer the caller to our campus police. Sadly, the police usually call us back without any understanding and ask us to do the page. At this point, my staffer calls me at home and I call the police to explain again that we will only do that IF the police will come walk the building (10 floors in two wings) to look for the person. Once I am convinced that the campus police understand our policy and if they then ask us to do a PA announcement, we will. So I am telling you that our policy is virtually never understood by our campus police (in spite of many many meetings), so I need to get involved every time.

We have had 3 siblings come in on a semi regular basis for the last couple of weeks, and it is pretty obvious that they are living out of the car. They are dirty, smelly, etc. No parents with them ever. They come and sometimes stay as long as we are open. We haven't ever seen them eat something, nor do they look like they are well fed. The oldest is approximately 16 (she drives the car) and the youngest about 9. The youngest has displayed some anger (not in the library but one of my staff saw them outside once and he was very angry). They aren't misbehaving in the library, but we are concerned. My question is, what if anything can we do? Is there somewhere we can call? We have not approached them because they seem very tense and not very approachable. They mostly come in to use our computers. Any suggestions, ideas or advice? Lois Hartman Watervliet District Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

May 24, 2015 In-Reply-To: <1164005943.13756597.1429885683824.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> Message-ID: <842495476.13760297.1429887554188.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> All, I am very pleased to share with you a number of details/updates regarding the upcoming launch of hugely expanded MAP, which will take place exactly one month from today, May 24, 2015. First, the new MAP "brochure" for 2015-2016 is ready. Brigette at TLN did a TON of work over the course of the past several months to compile all of the information to produce this booklet. Brigette calls it a "brochure" but she shouldn't be that modest about it. The link to the new MAP booklet is here: http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP%20Brochure.pdf You may print your own copy or copies of the booklet for your staff and patrons if you choose. We will be sending one copy of the booklet to every library, along with two posters (available here http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/) prior to May 24. Brigette will also be updating the online MAP booklet on average once per month or so, as needed, to reflect the addition of new MAP partners. Second, the renewal rate of current MAP partners for next year currently stands at over 85%! And we have another month to go for the remaining 15% to commit to the renewal :) Probably not every one of the remaining 15% will do so, for various reasons, but I am pretty certain that most will. And we are still in recruiting mode for new venues, too. Remember, YOU are our best ambassadors in your communities when it comes both to recruitment of new MAP partner venues, as well as retention of current partners. Third, usage of MAP continues to grow. With exactly one month remaining in this MAP year, we have already circulated 38% more passes in 11 months of MAP this year, than we did in 12 months of MAP last year. Nice work, everybody! Fourth, in advance of as well as thereafter launch, there will be a series of MAP kick-off events held at libraries and museums around the state. Details regarding those to follow soon. Fifth, also in the promotion and publicity department, the new press release for MAP is nearly ready. We will share it with everyone as soon as it is finished. And thanks to Sharon at St. Clair County Library, I will be doing a live interview about the MAP program on radio station WPHM AM 1380 in Port Huron at 7:40 a.m. on Thursday, May 28. Again, be sure to check out Brigette's brand new MAP booklet at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP%20Brochure.pdf We consider it our signature promotional piece when it comes to informing patrons about MAP. It will look very nice on your library's website, too :) Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Am shamelessly promoting purchase of a Leelanau County author?s book, Testimony of the Senses, by Cory Oldweiler. Below is a synopsis. The book is being released on May 18th, but is now available on Amazon and Ingraham; soon on Baker & Taylor. Cory has worked at the Leland Library on and off for the past 10 years in between writing, traveling, and attending opera, his great passion, all over the world. He is an extraordinary and passionate writer. One reviewer writes, ?This book is not for sissies. The story line is a simple one, a teenage boy looking for his absentee father. However, on his journey he finds more than he bargained for. Told expertly by Oldweiler with his vast knowledge of music, opera and fascinating mythological references. He brings a new twist to storytelling. I can?t wait to read it again?. "Testimony of the Senses" is the story of Emilio Tramonti, a boy who grows up believing his father died before he was born. On his seventeenth birthday, Emilio learns that his life has been predicated on a lie-his father is actually alive. He leaves home, seeking to understand, and eventually to confront, the man who ran rather than raise his child. There is nothing quotidian in the telling of this tale. Emilio is conducted toward his fate by an omnipresent companion, Gustav Mahler's Seventh Symphony, which premiered on the date of his birth and provides the aural architecture of his life. His mother's idolatrous obsession with Michelangelo's Piet? transforms her from a coddler to just another absent authority figure. A false, former New York Philharmonic violinist teaches Emilio to hear, but ultimately betrays and loses his trust. An annotated, photo-filled copy of Ovid's "Metamorphoses," dating from his father's time as a photographer during World War II, holds the mysteries of his parents' past-and a carefully preserved dead lizard. And in his final movement, increasingly insensate from wandering Lear-like through the storm surrounding and suffusing him, Emilio is forced to face judgment for the choices he has made. "Testimony of the Senses" is both bildungsroman and billet-doux, to literature, language, and music. It challenges the reader to think, to question, to seek out answers. How do we grieve? Why do we hope? What are we willing to believe in blindly, on faith alone? Ultimately it is Emilio's voice that matters most in all these matters, Emilio's voice that carries the story along. Rhythmically, melodically, almost compulsively. Here is a link to the website: http://www.cydaedalusbooks.com/ Sylvia Merz, Director Leland Township Library 203 E. Cedar St., P.O.

We are a strict "no food" library as the layout of our building makes it impossible for us to set aside an area where food can be eaten. While we sympathize with moms trying to feed their kids, kids are not usually known to be very clean about their eating habits. Sometimes we look the other way, other times not so much. We are wondering how other libraries with "no food" rules handle this situation? Any feedback would be welcome. Steven F.

We hosted Rich Eddy's Rockin Oldies Band and they were great performers, entertaining, great voices; the audience loved them...from young to older.. Grants for their show are availble through the Michigan Arts & Humanities Touring Directory (we obtained one for the performance). I have cc'd James Davis here...he said their rates are negotiable. Also, check out their website: http://www.richeddysrockinoldiesband.com/ Here is wording from our flyer: Join us on Saturday, April 25 at 3:00 pm as we welcome Rich Eddy's Rockin' Oldies Band. Rich Eddy?s Rockin? Oldies Band pays rocking homage to the best music of the 1950s and 1960s with the latest advancements in modern day technology. The musical duo sounds like a five-piece band and has been touring the Midwest since 1987. They have performed their polished, highenergy act at schools, libraries, fairs, festivals and community concerts. The pair extraordinaire combines their award-winning vocals with multiple instruments for a memorable performance enjoyable for all ages. Please contact James or me for additional information.

It first appeared in the 2006 edition. When compiling public library data, I performed extensive analysis prior to US Census Bureau reporting, and publication of data files and the Data Digest. I also fact checked statements included in the DD. As I no longer possess the notes and files pertaining to the 2006 DD, I cannot with complete certainty cite the source of the factoid currently in dispute. If inaccurate, I apologize to one and all, and am not too proud to admit mistakes. During my tenure as the Library Data Coordinator for the State of Michigan, I took my responsibility seriously. I sincerely hope my overall efforts in every capacity at the Library of Michigan were beneficial to Michigan libraries and all stakeholders. Respectfully submitted, Terri D.

Unfortunately this was not caught before the CD/DVD's were distributed to libraries. Upstart has corrected the problem and Reingold has uploaded all PDF Forms Handouts for all 4 programs to the CSLP website. Once a member logs in the forms can be found under Membership & Sponsorship --> Member Libraries --> Proprietary Downloads --> 2015 Graphics and Reproducible Files. Each program link directs you to an alphabetical list of all PDF forms from that manual. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any trouble please let me know immediately.

All materials posted on the Care Guides site were either created by University of Michigan clinicians, or reviewed and approved by our experts. The Care Guides site enables patients, families and the general public to access the same database our clinicians use to provide patient-education at the bedside or the exam-room, including patient instructions used in our Electronic Medical Record System. This content is quite different from health information purchased from vendors, which is typically what visitors find on public hospital sites. For example, on the Botsford site, the health information content was purchased from ADAM. Our own U-M Health System public website, uofmhealth.org displays content purchased from Healthwise. (There are several other vendors that sell this type of content, Krames, McKesson and a few others, so basically many public hospital websites display the same generic content on their ?health library? or ?health information? section). http://careguides.med.umich.edu/ includes over 900 U-M Health System authored materials. Our clinicians create materials if they are not able to find existing materials that meet their needs. Some highlights of our original content include: ? Resources for Children with Multiple Disabilities and Becoming an Adult: For Youth with Developmental Disabilities (comprehensive guides focusing on resources in Michigan) - find with the keyword ?disabilities" ? 21 instructions sheets on using specific types of inhalers - find with the keyword ?inhaler? ? Pressure Ulcer Patient Video ? specifically for people with spinal cord Injury who are at high risk for developing pressure ulcers, a potentially life-threatening complication. Find with the keyword ?pressure ulcer? ? Taking Care of Your Stoma video and Taking Care of Your Tracheostomy video ? find with the keywords ?stoma video? or ?trach video? These are just a few examples of unique materials available on the Care Guides Site. Thanks, -Ruti Ruti Volk, M.S.I., A.H.I.P.

The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) could fill the summer hunger gap for hundreds of thousands of children if there is an increase in community awareness, local government involvement, sponsors to run the program, and sites to serve meals. Last year, out of the 563,000 low-income Michigan children who received meals during the school year, just more than 98,000 (17.5%) were able to eat free meals or snacks at approved summer meal sites in their neighborhoods. In stressing the importance of sponsoring these crucial summer food programs for children, State Superintendent Mike Flanagan said: "Many families across Michigan are struggling, and we can't have children going hungry in the summer when programs like this are available. I am calling on schools, churches, and local government and civic organizations to step up and have a positive impact on the lives and health of children in their community by supporting the Summer Food Service Program." Research shows a direct relationship between good nutrition and learning. Meet Up and Eat Up is a key building block in Michigan communities to develop healthy, happy kids who are ready to learn. "There is a desperate need and the food is available," Flanagan said. "We just need more awareness of the program's availability, more community members to get involved, and additional locations around the state to serve children." Sponsors receive federal payments for both the meals served to children and the administrative costs of serving the meals. New sponsors will receive free training and technical assistance from MDE. The Summer Food Service Program serves nutritious meals to children up to age 18 living in low-income areas (where 50 percent or more of the students qualify for free or reduced price school meals). The program can operate in schools, public housing centers, playgrounds, camps, parks, and faith-based facilities. Sponsors can be public school districts or nonprofit private schools; public or private nonprofit residential summer camps; local, county or state government agencies; colleges or universities; or private nonprofit organizations. If you are interested in more information about how you can help feed your community this summer, please contact MDE by March 1, 2015. Program information may be obtained from MDE's Office of School Support Services, Summer Food Service Program, 608 West Allegan Street, P.O. Box 30008, Lansing, Michigan 48909, (517) 373-3347; or on the MDE website at www.michigan.gov/sfsp. The Summer Food Service Program, administered by MDE through funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is available to children 18 and under regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. # # # [Meet Up and Eat Up] * 2015 SFSP.pdf ________________________________ [Michigan Department of Education Logo] Questions?

Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk at michigan.gov Sent: Friday, February 06, 2015 3:00 PM Subject: Michigan Department of Education Press Release [Michigan Dept of Ed header] News Release Contact: Martin Ackley, Director of Public and Governmental Affairs, (517) 241-4395 Bill DiSessa, Spokesperson, (517) 335-6649 Hunger Doesn't Take a Summer Vacation More Partners Needed to Make a Real Difference in the Lives of Hundreds of Thousands of Hungry Michigan Children February 6, 2015 The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is looking for community partners, sponsors, and potential site locations to participate in Michigan's Summer Meet Up and Eat Up(tm) initiative and run summer food programs to prevent more than a half million children in Michigan from going hungry when school lunchrooms close for the summer. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) could fill the summer hunger gap for hundreds of thousands of children if there is an increase in community awareness, local government involvement, sponsors to run the program, and sites to serve meals. Last year, out of the 563,000 low-income Michigan children who received meals during the school year, just more than 98,000 (17.5%) were able to eat free meals or snacks at approved summer meal sites in their neighborhoods. In stressing the importance of sponsoring these crucial summer food programs for children, State Superintendent Mike Flanagan said: "Many families across Michigan are struggling, and we can't have children going hungry in the summer when programs like this are available. I am calling on schools, churches, and local government and civic organizations to step up and have a positive impact on the lives and health of children in their community by supporting the Summer Food Service Program." Research shows a direct relationship between good nutrition and learning. Meet Up and Eat Up is a key building block in Michigan communities to develop healthy, happy kids who are ready to learn. "There is a desperate need and the food is available," Flanagan said. "We just need more awareness of the program's availability, more community members to get involved, and additional locations around the state to serve children." Sponsors receive federal payments for both the meals served to children and the administrative costs of serving the meals. New sponsors will receive free training and technical assistance from MDE. The Summer Food Service Program serves nutritious meals to children up to age 18 living in low-income areas (where 50 percent or more of the students qualify for free or reduced price school meals). The program can operate in schools, public housing centers, playgrounds, camps, parks, and faith-based facilities. Sponsors can be public school districts or nonprofit private schools; public or private nonprofit residential summer camps; local, county or state government agencies; colleges or universities; or private nonprofit organizations. If you are interested in more information about how you can help feed your community this summer, please contact MDE by March 1, 2015. Program information may be obtained from MDE's Office of School Support Services, Summer Food Service Program, 608 West Allegan Street, P.O. Box 30008, Lansing, Michigan 48909, (517) 373-3347; or on the MDE website at www.michigan.gov/sfsp. The Summer Food Service Program, administered by MDE through funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is available to children 18 and under regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. # # # [Meet Up and Eat Up] * 2015 SFSP.pdf ________________________________ [Michigan Department of Education Logo] Questions?
