Content and condition These materials contain new and used works of fiction and non-fiction as well as some legal texts and state government documents.

Some materials are duplicate copies received from state government agencies and other libraries, or withdrawn from our own collections, but the bulk are extra copies of books submitted to the Michigan Notable Books program over the last several years. These materials are both hard and softcover, generally in good or like-new condition, but older materials will show wear. Items from the 19th century may need rebinding or repair, but contents are complete. How to request The material is available by request (email) as well as available for browsing here at LM. You are welcome (strongly encouraged!) to schedule a time to select and claim materials on-site from 8am-5pm, Mon.-Fri. Email bartlettb at michigan.gov if you want to schedule a visit. Email requests for delivery of specific titles are handled on a first-come basis by date and time and some or all of the materials you request may no longer be available at the point we receive your email. Only requests for which we can supply NO materials will receive an email response. Shipping The Library of Michigan has limited funding for shipping. We will ship free for materials costing up to $20.00 per institution until/unless the funding is exhausted. If your request will cost more than $20.00 to ship, we will contact you to arrange reimbursement or pick-up. We cannot send materials via MeLDelivery, nor do we accept postage reimbursement. Materials will only be shipped via UPS or Interdepartmental mail (for state government only). *Again, we strongly encourage on-site browsing and pick-up if at all possible.* Email requests must include the title as noted on the spreadsheet(s), a delivery address (street address only, no p.o. box), contact name, phone number and email address.

This is a privacy-hostile cybersecurity bill that not only won't be effective as advertised in thwarting cyber-attacks, but de facto grants broad new mass data collection powers to many federal, as well as state and even local, government agencies. Please take a moment to help us spread the word about CISA by posting one or two of the following tweets to your Twitter account and asking your committees, boards, followers, etc to retweet them (or to write their own tweet for the #StopCISA tag). The more noise we can make, the better! * Don't let Congress protect companies for actions that could cripple library computers & risk patron access #StopCISA http://ow.ly/QrfxC * Ready, fire...aim?

Hello WDA team and partners: Job seeker recruitment is underway for the upcoming MiVirtualCareerFair event on August 12th. Please feel free to share the following information with job seekers who may be interested in participating and other partners who may find this information useful. Job seekers and Michigan employers can connect with one another through a state-sponsored virtual career fair on Wednesday, August 12th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pure Michigan Talent Connect's MiVirtualCareerFairs bring together Michigan employers and talent from across the state and the globe in an online, virtual environment. You can participate from the comfort of your home, the library and even from your phone! With assistance from the Michigan Works! System we have 30 Michigan employers that will be featured during the event from varying industries. This event will also have the education sector represented for any individuals looking for post-secondary educational opportunities. Participation is free to job seekers! Check out MiTalent.org/virtualcareerfair for a list of participating employers for the August 12th, 2015 MiVirtualCareerFair. During MiVirtualCareerFairs, event participants can: * Communicate in group chats and private chat messages with employers. * Upload, view, and search for job postings and apply directly from the site. * Interact with other participants in the Networking Lounge. * Explore career development resources in the Resource Lounge. * Talk with Pure Michigan Talent Connect Staff about your job search and learn more about utilizing MiTalent.org for your job search. * Interested in finding opportunities in the non-profit sector? The Michigan Non-profit Association will provide assistance and resources to those interested in the non-profit sector. * Veterans can connect with staff at the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) booth to learn about veterans benefits in Michigan. * Interested in post-secondary education? Connect with one of the many representatives from colleges and universities from across the state of Michigan. * Access archived job openings for 30 days after event. You can come back in and apply for jobs or search for specific employers to follow up with. How to participate: 1. We recommend that before the event, you create or update your account on the Pure Michigan Talent Connect site, www.MiTalent.org. Utilize the Pure Michigan Talent Connect tools and resources to build, post, or upload your resume and gain 24/7 exposure to additional employers seeking talent before, during, and after the event. 2. Register for the event by Wednesday, August 12, 2015. After registering for the event, log in, update your profile, and upload your resume. 3. Attend the virtual career fair on August 12th! On the day of the event, representatives from exhibiting companies will be available virtually from 10:00am to 4:00pm to answer questions and accept job applications. You will have access to all company postings and transcripts of your interactions for 30 days following the event. Participating job seeker tips: Do Your Homework. Before the event, take some time to learn about the organizations attending the career fair. You can see a full list of participating employers at mitalent.org/virtualcareerfair Be organized and engaged. Have questions prepared ahead of time that you'd like to ask participating employers. Engage with representatives in the booth group chat room or in a private chat message to keep conversation going and leave the employer with a positive impression of you. Keep the Dialogue Professional. Even though it is an online event, you should still use complete sentences and proper grammar for chat conversations with potential employers. Be Patient. Technology is a great tool but it is not a perfect system. Errors and other technical difficulties may arise and cause event attendees to experience delays. In addition, organization representatives may be managing several conversations at once so it could be a few minutes before they can address your question or comment. Interviews are not guaranteed and you may have to go to an employer's external website to apply for positions. More than 3,000 job seekers participated in the May 13 MiVirtualCareerFair. In addition to the August 12 virtual career fair, there will be one more event in 2015 on Wednesday, Nov. 4th from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Message-ID: Hi all, Short notice for the Aug. 12 career fair but maybe a possibility for the Nov. 4th event >>> Offer access to the MiVirtual Career Fair at your library. A few years back while I still worked at CADL, we opened the computer lab at the downtown Lansing library to anyone interested in participating in the MiVirtual Career Fair - no library card needed - and assigned a librarian to be in the lab and help out as needed. We put up posters letting people know and Capital Area Michigan Works! spread the word among their staff and clients of the option to access the fair at the library. A small gesture maybe, but for those without a computer or library card or who needed a little more time or assistance to work through the process, it was something we were able to do.

You can participate from the comfort of your home, the library and even from your phone! With assistance from the Michigan Works!

During MiVirtualCareerFairs, event participants can: * Communicate in group chats and private chat messages with employers. * Upload, view, and search for job postings and apply directly from the site. * Interact with other participants in the Networking Lounge. * Explore career development resources in the Resource Lounge. * Talk with Pure Michigan Talent Connect Staff about your job search and learn more about utilizing MiTalent.org for your job search. * Interested in finding opportunities in the non-profit sector? The Michigan Non-profit Association will provide assistance and resources to those interested in the non-profit sector. * Veterans can connect with staff at the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) booth to learn about veterans benefits in Michigan. * Interested in post-secondary education? Connect with one of the many representatives from colleges and universities from across the state of Michigan. * Access archived job openings for 30 days after event. You can come back in and apply for jobs or search for specific employers to follow up with. How to participate: 1. We recommend that before the event, you create or update your account on the Pure Michigan Talent Connect site, www.MiTalent.org. Utilize the Pure Michigan Talent Connect tools and resources to build, post, or upload your resume and gain 24/7 exposure to additional employers seeking talent before, during, and after the event. 2. Register for the event by Wednesday, August 12, 2015. After registering for the event, log in, update your profile, and upload your resume. 3. Attend the virtual career fair on August 12th! On the day of the event, representatives from exhibiting companies will be available virtually from 10:00am to 4:00pm to answer questions and accept job applications. You will have access to all company postings and transcripts of your interactions for 30 days following the event. Participating job seeker tips: Do Your Homework. Before the event, take some time to learn about the organizations attending the career fair. You can see a full list of participating employers at mitalent.org/virtualcareerfair Be organized and engaged. Have questions prepared ahead of time that you'd like to ask participating employers. Engage with representatives in the booth group chat room or in a private chat message to keep conversation going and leave the employer with a positive impression of you. Keep the Dialogue Professional. Even though it is an online event, you should still use complete sentences and proper grammar for chat conversations with potential employers. Be Patient. Technology is a great tool but it is not a perfect system. Errors and other technical difficulties may arise and cause event attendees to experience delays. In addition, organization representatives may be managing several conversations at once so it could be a few minutes before they can address your question or comment. Interviews are not guaranteed and you may have to go to an employer's external website to apply for positions. More than 3,000 job seekers participated in the May 13 MiVirtualCareerFair. In addition to the August 12 virtual career fair, there will be one more event in 2015 on Wednesday, Nov. 4th from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

To help in efforts to develop driving skills for beginners to aging drivers, we recently added two new resources to MeL.org. For beginners, we now link to Driving-tests.org's Michigan specific site for drivers needing to study for car, motorcycle, and Commercial Driver License (CDL) tests. 11 car tests, 8 motorcycle tests, and 3 CDL tests include permit practice tests, Signs & Situations, Fines and Limits, HazMat, Air Brakes, and for car and motorcycle, test simulators - just like the real DMV tests. This resource is in the Teens Gateway, Life Happens section and Jobs Gateway, Tutorials section. Thanks to our partners in the Michigan Secretary of State's office, we've added a link to their Guide for Aging Drivers and their Families in the MeL Health Gateway under Individuals/Families and Michigan sections. Download the PDF booklet, email SOS to obtain a single or few copies, or contact the SOS office to obtain 50 or more copies. We hope you and your patrons will find these tools helpful. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org or visit mel.org. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues. Eunice Eunice C. Borrelli Michigan eLibrary Internet Librarian, Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education 702 W.

Please see the information below and the attached spreadsheets to take advantage of this opportunity. Feel free to forward this message to other library groups or listservs within Michigan. Content and condition These materials contain new and used works of fiction and non-fiction as well as some legal texts and state government documents. Most have Michigan content, but there is a variety. Some materials are duplicate copies received from state government agencies and other libraries, or withdrawn from our own collections, but the bulk are extra copies of books submitted to the Michigan Notable Books program over the last several years. These materials are both hard and softcover, generally in good or like-new condition, but older materials will show wear. Items from the 19th century may need rebinding or repair, but contents are complete. How to request The material is available by request (email) as well as available for browsing here at LM. You are welcome (strongly encouraged!) to schedule a time to select and claim materials on-site from 8am-5pm, Mon.-Fri. Email bartlettb at michigan.gov if you want to schedule a visit. Email requests for delivery of specific titles are handled on a first-come basis by date and time and some or all of the materials you request may no longer be available at the point we receive your email. Only requests for which we can supply NO materials will receive an email response. Shipping The Library of Michigan has limited funding for shipping. We will ship free for materials costing up to $20.00 per institution until/unless the funding is exhausted. If your request will cost more than $20.00 to ship, we will contact you to arrange reimbursement or pick-up. We cannot send materials via MeLDelivery, nor do we accept postage reimbursement. Materials will only be shipped via UPS or Interdepartmental mail (for state government only). *Again, we strongly encourage on-site browsing and pick-up if at all possible.* Email requests must include the title as noted on the spreadsheet(s), a delivery address (street address only, no p.o. box), contact name, phone number and email address. Emails should be directed to bartlettb at michigan.gov Deadline If you are interested in any of these materials, please respond to this email no later than September 1, 2015. Materials will be shipped as soon as time and resources allow. Thanks for your time, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Bernadette Bernadette M.

Anyone have a vendor the recommend and trust that you purchase your labor law posters from? Thanks, in advance. Thank you for using the Better Business Bureau's Online Complaint System. Your complaint has been assigned case # 89064673. Correspondence regarding this complaint will be emailed to : sswantek at putnamlib.org Please print a copy of this for your records. Filed on : August 7 2015 Filed by : Shauna Swantek 237 N Main Street Nashville MI 49073 Filed against : Personnel Concepts Limited Complaint Description: This company's sales tactics are beyond aggressive. They have wasted hours of staff time by repeatedly calling and bullying staff members.We have purchased our Labor Law posters from this company at various times in the past. They have not been our only supplier but we have used their product to save money by switching companies periodically.We will NEVER do business with them again. They have repeatedly called our business over the last month. Their verbiage is alarming and threatening ... making front line staff feel panicked and concerned. They have tried to get staff to make purchases they aren't authorized to do based on fear tactics.They refuse to take NO for an answer. I told them I receive their emails and will contact them if I need anything, but that did not help.Today, they harassed the Assistant Director for 15 minutes and then demanded my personal phone number saying our account was "flagged".When I arrived, I spoke with the salesperson and demanded to be removed from their contact list stating that we will not do business with them again and not to contact us further. Your Desired Resolution: I want to be removed from their contact list in every way possible... I do not want them to contact us further. ?Shauna Lea Swantek, Director Putnam District Library Honoring the Past, Serving Today, Preparing For Tomorrowwww.putnamlib.org?327 North Main Street?PO Box 920?Nashville, MI 49073-9578?Phone & Fax: (517)852-9723 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Anyone have a vendor the recommend and trust that you purchase your labor law posters from? Thanks, in advance. Thank you for using the Better Business Bureau's Online Complaint System. Your complaint has been assigned case # 89064673. Correspondence regarding this complaint will be emailed to : sswantek at putnamlib.org Please print a copy of this for your records. Filed on : August 7 2015 Filed by : Shauna Swantek 237 N Main Street Nashville MI 49073 Filed against : Personnel Concepts Limited Complaint Description: This company's sales tactics are beyond aggressive. They have wasted hours of staff time by repeatedly calling and bullying staff members. We have purchased our Labor Law posters from this company at various times in the past. They have not been our only supplier but we have used their product to save money by switching companies periodically. We will NEVER do business with them again. They have repeatedly called our business over the last month. Their verbiage is alarming and threatening ... making front line staff feel panicked and concerned. They have tried to get staff to make purchases they aren't authorized to do based on fear tactics. They refuse to take NO for an answer. I told them I receive their emails and will contact them if I need anything, but that did not help. Today, they harassed the Assistant Director for 15 minutes and then demanded my personal phone number saying our account was "flagged". When I arrived, I spoke with the salesperson and demanded to be removed from their contact list stating that we will not do business with them again and not to contact us further. Your Desired Resolution: I want to be removed from their contact list in every way possible... I do not want them to contact us further.

Keynote: Emerging Technologies ? Trends from CES and Beyond The CES show is one of the largest technology shows in the industry; it?s where companies from around the world release new products, unveil innovative ideas, and do hands-on demonstrations. Every year, Brian Pichman of the Evolve Project attends to speak to the exhibitors about libraries and their unlimited potential. This session shares his insights from the event in a jammed-pack session of tech gadgets and emerging technologies. Additionally, discover other potential technologies that are ready for your library to implement in its maker spaces and fab labs. Hear about other technologies libraries are recently starting to look into. Leave with lots of ideas, insights, and laughs. Speaker: Brian Pichman, Director of Strategic Innovation, Evolve Project Brian speaks a lot about innovative technology as a presenter and loves collaborating with both libraries and companies. He is dedicated to bring libraries into the future using cost effective measures and strategies. Much of Evolve?s work includes bridging the digital divide, breaking away from "traditional library views", becoming trend setters and finding or building innovative works geared towards interaction and collaboration. He has also been working with start-up companies across the country, promoting libraries and encouraging people to work closer with libraries in developing new ideas and concepts. Breakout Sessions Cybersecurity for Public Libraries: Striking a Balance Mary Shindell, Sales Manager, Merit Network, Ann Arbor, Michigan This presentation is intended to raise awareness of the cybersecurity threat to libraries and their patrons and to provide practical methods to reduce risk. We will share information regarding the need for security, including the what, when and how of typical threats and attacks. We will cite specific recent local and national breaches affecting libraries and education. Attendees will take away a free practical tool to implement at their library.
Gaming in the Library Michael McEvoy, Technology Coordinator, Northville District Library, Northville, Michigan Join us for a discussion of running wildly successful video gaming programs for your library. Three video game extraordinaires will discuss what video games they?ve used in programs, which gaming platforms they use and why, what patrons attend these programs (and not just kids?!?!). How much does this cost? How long is a given game title relevant for? Which games worked best? and why? What kind of attendance? Do the ?gamers? come back for more Library events?

Filed on : August 7 2015 Filed by : Shauna Swantek 237 N Main Street Nashville MI 49073 Filed against : Personnel Concepts Limited Complaint Description: This company's sales tactics are beyond aggressive. They have wasted hours of staff time by repeatedly calling and bullying staff members. We have purchased our Labor Law posters from this company at various times in the past. They have not been our only supplier but we have used their product to save money by switching companies periodically. We will NEVER do business with them again. They have repeatedly called our business over the last month. Their verbiage is alarming and threatening ... making front line staff feel panicked and concerned. They have tried to get staff to make purchases they aren't authorized to do based on fear tactics. They refuse to take NO for an answer. I told them I receive their emails and will contact them if I need anything, but that did not help. Today, they harassed the Assistant Director for 15 minutes and then demanded my personal phone number saying our account was "flagged". When I arrived, I spoke with the salesperson and demanded to be removed from their contact list stating that we will not do business with them again and not to contact us further. Your Desired Resolution: I want to be removed from their contact list in every way possible... I do not want them to contact us further. > > > > Shauna Lea Swantek, Director > > Putnam District Library > Honoring the Past, Serving Today, Preparing For Tomorrow > www.putnamlib.org > > > 327 North Main Street > PO Box 920 > Nashville, MI 49073-9578 > Phone & Fax: (517)852-9723 ------- End of Original Message ------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Because Advocacy Never Stops: New Tools for Taking Action Thursday, August 13, 2015 - 2 pm Eastern - 90 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/because-advocacy-never-stops.html This webinar will highlight free, newly revised downloadable materials for public libraries distilled from landmark advocacy and awareness-building programs. Learn about two resources scheduled for release in summer 2015: updated curriculum from Turning the Page including tools, worksheets and training materials you can adapt locally to grow your team's advocacy knowledge and abilities; and a new online guide that walks through each step of planning and carrying out a local library awareness campaign modeled after Geek the Library. Hear from library leaders who have put these ideas to work to build advocacy know-how, increase staff confidence, and engage more deeply with the community. Whether you are looking to get started, or seeking to maintain momentum following a recent advocacy effort, join us to discuss strategies to take your library to the next level.

If so,can you tell me your procedure, dollar amount you start at, and any feedback on using this approach (suggested by our lawyer). 2) How do you handle bankruptcies? We seem to be getting more of them lately. I know we have to write off the material charges, but does this include fines? Do you continue to block the patron from checking out materials or using the computer, even though they have no way of "clearing" their account since they cannot be held responsible for the items? If so do you have a time limit (statute of limitations) on how long the ban would be in effect? 3) If using a collection agency, what dollar amount did you choose? We send patrons who have materials and fines over $25.00. If they do not have materials out we just block their card. Any information or thoughts you can share will be appreciated. You can email me off list: mylastuart at yahoo.com Thanks in advance from our board and me.

Hoenig will fill the position soon to be vacated by Jill Morey, who will retire after 15 years of service at YDL's helm. Hoenig will assume her new duties in Ypsilanti on September 8, 2015. Hoenig comes to the Ypsilanti District Library from the Redford Township District Library (Redford, MI) where she has served as Director since 2011. Prior to that, she was Director of the Wixom Public Library (Wixom, MI) for 6 years. Hoenig's accomplishments at Redford include increasing the library's visibility in the community through creative marketing and new partnerships, strategic fundraising which produced $16,000 to open a much needed laptop lab, and successfully passing a supplemental library millage which allowed the library to restore hours and maintain services. "We were impressed with Lisa's experience, having already served as Director of a Class VI library, as well as her track record of successfully managing a library's finances and engaging the public," said Suzanne Gray, President of the YDL Board of Trustees. Hoenig also brings a local perspective to the role as a 20-year resident of Superior Township, located within the Ypsilanti District Library's legal service boundaries. During her interview and public presentation, she affirmed her interest in becoming more enmeshed in the local community. "Throughout my career, I have always been passionately involved in my adopted work community." Hoenig said. "It is my great honor and delight to bring this commitment home." The Ypsilanti District Library serves a population of 83,000 people in Ypsilanti, Ypsilanti Township, and Superior Township. 79% of those residents hold a library card, and many take advantage of the library's collection and over 2,600 free programs annually.

Growing Through Conflict: Healthy Workplace Communication Thursday, September 10, 2015 - 3 pm Eastern - 60 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/growing-through-conflict.html We are all so busy! Who has time to deal with conflicts? When conflict occurs, and we are confronted with a colleague, library patron, supervisor, or board member who is frustrated and upset, it can be tempting to identify a quick fix. However, when we do take the time to practice clear communication to uncover what people really need, we can get to better outcomes. Healthy communication involves: * Actions that show you are really listening * Communication with people who are angry or upset in a way that their needs can be addressed and resolved * Knowing your own emotions and needs, and effective ways to express them Practicing healthy communication skills will boost your self-confidence and contribute to a happier workplace.

It could also be used for office stations or study tables. We would give it to another library or school if you pick it up and dismantle it. It is located at our branch in Lewiston, Michigan and would need to be picked up in a timely manner because our new tables have arrived and we are waiting to set them up. Pictures are attached. Sorry for the quality and the angles but because the unit is large and the room is small it was very hard to photograph. I believe we originally paid about $8000 for the complete unit. It has 8 stations and has desks that are set up in a rectangular pattern 2 desks x 4 desks. The measurements are as follows: each desk table is 48 inches wide walls are 67 inches high the overall dimensions of the complete unit is 8'5"wide x 19'2"long x 5'7"tall Please feel free to contact me if you are interested or have any questions.

I have included all the responses I received as each one is slightly different and will help others in setting policies. In summary, most responding libraries use Unique Management for collections and write off all bankruptcy fees. Some libraries give the bankruptcy patron a clean slate with all privileges restored, other options are listed. * *Canton Public Library:* 1. No we in Canton do not get the authorities involved to get our materials back if they are legally checked out. We have involved them in cases of theft or card use fraud. 2. When I get the first notice of bankruptcy, I place a note in the patron record instructing my staff to not attempt to collect money owed, but to encourage the patron to return the material (we only use a collection agency when materials have been billed). Once I get the notice of the result of the bankruptcy, I will remove the note if the result is that it has been dismissed; or, waive all fines and replacement costs if the result is discharged, and I add a note to the patron record addressing the fact that all fines have been waived per order of bankruptcy. We have chosen to waive all fines instead of just fees for billed material-wipe the slate clean, so to speak-instead of forgiving just the fine portion of the balance. We do not block the patron in any way once the fines have been waived. 3.We use Unique Management as our collection agency and have chosen $35 as our threshold, however, as I said earlier, we do not send anyone for fines only. Only when a patron has fines on their account, and then are billed for an item that brings the balance over the threshold, or if the materials for which they have been billed equals $35 or more, will their name be submitted. *Brighton District Library:* The Brighton District Library has used Unique Collection agency since about 1998. We have had a significant amount of materials returned, as a result. We send patrons to collection only for LOST items, including the $5.00 Processing Fee. The combined cost needs to be $25 or more. What I have learned from Unique in regards to bankruptcies is that once a bankruptcy has been discharged (granted), fines and fees need to be waived, including the $10.00 Referral Fee. LOST items are not waived/forgiven; bankruptcy does not apply to items that are owned by another entity, such as a library. If the item is returned, then the overdue fine needs to be waived. This applies only to fines/bills *prior* to the file date for bankruptcy. All of this would apply to the accounts of any children involved, as well. *Mulliken District Library* Hello! I can speak first hand about getting reimbursed for materials and fines. I just started here as Director in January. My previous job was in law enforcement, so I kind of had the upper hand in knowing how to go about collecting fines, etc., and not letting people get away with not returning items (my example would be to rent a carpet cleaning machine from Meijer and not return it and see how THAT goes)! HA! Anyway, our prosecutor (Eaton County) has a special unit that handles "failure to return rental property", and they even came to a meeting of the Eaton County libraries and did a presentation (long before I started) on how to go about collecting payment, etc. I had a patron who had a HUGE amount of fees, and the materials taken out were very expensive. At any rate, it took from February to this week, but I got reimbursed for all materials that were NOT returned and outstanding fines (magically she managed to return some of the materials when the prosecutor got involved....however, she ignored all my calls and registered letters I sent to her). So yes, it is possible to collect. Had she not paid up, there would have been a warrant for her arrest. It does and can happen! Contact your local prosecutor, and I would guess they have a special unit for the same type of thing. I haven't had to deal with any bankruptcy issues yet. Not sure how that would be handled, but hopefully I won't have to deal with it. *St. Charles District Library* We use Unique Management debt collection service for any materials or fines over $25.00. If the patron does not pay, they would be reported to a credit agency. Bankruptcies would still be banned from checking items out if their fines exceed $5.00. They had ample opportunity to get their account issues resolved and materials returned before they went to collections or incurred any fines or fees. *Commerce Library:* We work with Unique Management Systems for delinquent accounts of $25.00 or more. They work exclusively with libraries and I would highly recommend them if you are thinking of sending patrons into collections. Every month we get reports from Unique regarding bankruptcies. Any patrons who have their bankruptcies discharged (approved) , we cancel all outstanding fees and fines on the account. The library account is then unblocked and is treated the same as any other account. We don't have very many of these, maybe two or three a year. As for prosecutions, we have never done that and I don't expect that it's something that will be on the table any time soon. It always has the potential of generating bad PR for the library. But if you are in a situation where some patrons have huge amounts of unreturned materials costing hundreds of dollars. I could see where a library may decide to go ahead with it. * Berrian Springs:* We haven't prosecuted anyone for materials or fines. We have received bankruptcies...one. All that was owed on that account was late fees. The fees were cleared and the patron left active, able to check material out and use the computer. We don't have a written policy regarding this. If the library were to receive more bankruptcy filings I would most likely clear the account and allow the patron to check material out. More then ten years ago a former director looked into using a collection agency-Unique Management-but the library didn't contract with them and haven't looked into it since. *Roseville Public Library:* I met with the Roseville City Manager, Roseville City Attorney and the Library Commission this past spring to discuss patrons with large bills. We have used a collection agency (Unique Management) for the past seven years. Cards are blocked at $5.00 or more in bills and accounts are sent to the collection agency for any bills that reach the threshold of $25.00. When patrons file for bankruptcy, the library either receives notification from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court or from Unique Management, depending on who the patron listed as the creditor. We immediately stop the collections process,however patrons may not use their cards until the judgment has been decided. If the bankruptcy is discharged, the library's attorney has stated that we must clear all bills. If the bankruptcy is denied, we continue the collections process. The library has many patrons with bills in the hundreds of dollars, quite a few owing over $500 for either an individual or a family. We set a limit of $500. When a patron or family owes $500 or more, I contact the City Attorney and he sends a dunning notice by regular U.S. first-class mail. We do not take the patron to small claims court for a number of reasons: First, the attorney cannot be involved. I would essentially be taking the patron to small claims court, with all of the work involved for possibly little return. The library must pay to have a process server delivery notification of the small claims court case. If the patron refuses to accept the notice, the money and ime have been wasted. If the small claims court finding is in the library's favor: Often the patrons do not have wages to garnish, while tax refunds may be garnished Tax refunds may be garnished, but it is a long shot The Library Commission determined not to have me pursue these large accounts beyond having a dunning letter sent. I asked the directors from the 22 libraries in the cooperative if they go further than a collection agency and no one does. I choose not to involve the Roseville police, although the Chief of Police has stated that he is very willing to pursue criminal cases with warrants if I ask him to, because our local police are short-staffed and very busy. *Saranac Public Library* We have never pursued warrants to get our materials back. I have heard of it but I am not aware of any libraries that use this type of approach in my area (West Michigan). 2. I have yet to deal with bankruptcies either although I do know that if we receive information that someone is in bankruptcy that we have to let our collection agency know as they can no longer attempt to collect the money. 3. We have a $40 limit before they go to collections. We are charged $8.95 for every person that goes to the collection agency- which is then charged back to them so if they pay, we do see the money back eventually. This is regardless of whether this is just fines or if they still have material out. I had one new patron who checked out 70 books, then brought them back 1 week late. 70 x 1.05= a whole lot of fines. She went into collections because she didn't pay it for several months. I felt bad but at the same time....the books were late. *Myla-Jean Stuart, Director* Comstock Township Library 6130 King Highway PO Box 25 Comstock, Michigan 49041 269-345-0136 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Aimed at children in third and fourth grades, where state history is taught in Michigan's schools, Michigan History for Kids goes beyond the textbooks, exploring the history and heritage of all Michigan's peoples. The magazine, which was designed to be a supplemental aid in classrooms, also thoroughly integrates Michigan's Grade Level Content Expectations and other emerging standards into the content. Using both print and digital platforms and a racial-equity lens, each issue brings to life a different part of our state's past and features unbiased stories about the diverse people, places and events that have impacted Michigan over time. "In every issue of Michigan History for Kids, we strive to cover all aspects of our state's history and also include stories of people of color, who are normally overlooked or often forgotten in traditional academic materials, so that students develop a more complete understanding of Michigan's history," said Larry Wagenaar, HSM Executive Director and Publisher of Michigan History for Kids. "The diverse stories, along with thought-provoking questions and fun activities, engage students and make history meaningful to children throughout the state." To ensure that Michigan History for Kids and www.michigankids.org are valuable resources for educators, HSM had them thoroughly evaluated and tested by several focus groups, including one that consisted of nearly 40 teachers and 1,400 third and fourth graders. To align with the school year and teachers' needs, the magazine is published bimonthly, minus the two major summer months when there are no classes, and the accompanying website provides interactive activities, expanded information and audio files that read the stories to students. Online lesson plans have also been created, which provide more detailed activities that can be used in the classroom. The lesson plans amplify the magazine's content and present additional information that enhance the students' learning experiences. "The Editors of Michigan History for Kids have especially sought out authors from underserved and minority communities," added Wagenaar, "which enables educators to teach Michigan's history from new perspectives." Both classroom and individual subscriptions are available. Full information, along with sample content, is available at www.michigankids.org. Previously published by the State of Michigan from 2001 to 2009, the new Michigan History for Kids magazine was made possible by a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. # # # This e-mail is sent to our members and friends to keep you updated on historical activities and opportunities to learn more about our state's history.

The American Library Association (ALA) asks library users to nominate librarians who have transformed lives and communities through education and lifelong learning for its coveted 2015 I Love My Librarian Award. The award invites library users nationwide to recognize the public service of exceptional public, school, college, community college or university librarians. Library users can nominate their favorite librarians now through Sept. 28 by visiting http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian. Each year since the award?s inception in 2008, the ALA selects up to 10 librarians from a pool of thousands of nominations. Award winners will each receive a $5,000 cash award, a plaque and a travel stipend to attend the I Love My Librarian Award ceremony and reception in New York City on Dec. 3, 2015, hosted by Carnegie Corporation of New York. Each nominee must be a librarian with a master?s degree from a program accredited by the ALA in library and information studies or hold a master?s degree with a specialty in school library media from an educational program accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Nominees must be currently working in the United States in a public library, a library at an accredited two- or four-year college or university or at an accredited K-12 school. In the award?s first seven years, library supporters nationwide shared more than 14,000 nominations for exceptional librarians. A total of 70 librarians have won the award to date.

From go-live to today, you have circulated TWICE AS MANY MAP passes in Year 3 as was the case for the entire twelve month period of MAP Year 2!!! And that's not just a bunch of hot air.

Message-ID: The Library of Michigan is reaching out to libraries who are considering taking advantage of the changes to fiber funding for last-mile provisioning that became possible with the E-Rate modernization orders. To obtain state matching dollars that can be used to leverage federal funds we will need to go to the legislature with the Department of Education with a special funding request. In order to prepare for this we need to know how many libraries are considering applying and where you are in the process. If this possibility is on your radar, please take this very short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WNPCLRS The questions include your contact information, a brief description of your fiber build need (e.g. "I need 30 feet of dark fiber to one of my branches"), whether you are partnering with a local school district, and roughly where you are in the process (e.g. "We are shovel-ready and will be applying for E-Rate dollars in 2016;" "We're 2-3 years out" etc.). Those that respond to the survey and provide contact information will receive a follow-up call from me where we can discuss your situation in more detail. This is where we're starting to line up the matching dollars so please take a moment to fill out this survey if you'll be taking advantage of the new rules surrounding funding for last mile provisioning with E-Rate dollars.

LibraryLinkNJ is the single, statewide, multi-type library cooperative in New Jersey, working in partnership with its 2,000 multi-type member libraries and the New Jersey State Library to provide access to excellent library services for 8.79 million residents in twenty-one counties.

I apologize for any cross-posting. I'm hoping you can share what you feel are the best staff training topics (and trainers) you've used at your library. We've only got one staff day each year (something I'm hoping to chance down the road), and I've learned that too many serious topics, as important as they are, drag down the crowd. But leaving the library to do something that's not even remotely applicable seems to be a waste of the precious little time we have together as an entire staff. Topics, trainers, contacts, "hey, I heard XX Library did this once...," fun or serious, I welcome them all. Thank you!

Never wanting to let a great MAP promo opportunity pass us by, TLN systems administrator and videographer Justin Walker recorded the festivities and uploaded same to the MAP facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Michigan-Activity-Pass-MAP/510259192344845 The video stars Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman of UTR Michigan, and Jim Pletz and Brigette Felix of TLN, who also does double duty as floor director. Thanks for helping us promote MAP, Jim and Tom, and also for making it so much fun! Speaking of fun, there is additional UTR/MAP frivolity to come! Tom and Jim will be the featured speakers at the Thursday, October 29 MLA conference luncheon http://www.milibraries.org/prof-development-networking/annual-conference/featured-speakers/ And sometime during the conference the guys will draw the names of FOUR additional winning libraries for a UTR library program!

Keynote: Emerging Technologies ? Trends from CES and Beyond The CES show is one of the largest technology shows in the industry; it?s where companies from around the world release new products, unveil innovative ideas, and do hands-on demonstrations. Every year, Brian Pichman of the Evolve Project attends to speak to the exhibitors about libraries and their unlimited potential. This session shares his insights from the event in a jammed-pack session of tech gadgets and emerging technologies. Additionally, discover other potential technologies that are ready for your library to implement in its maker spaces and fab labs. Hear about other technologies libraries are recently starting to look into. Leave with lots of ideas, insights, and laughs. Speaker: Brian Pichman, Director of Strategic Innovation, Evolve Project Brian speaks a lot about innovative technology as a presenter and loves collaborating with both libraries and companies. He is dedicated to bring libraries into the future using cost effective measures and strategies. Much of Evolve?s work includes bridging the digital divide, breaking away from "traditional library views", becoming trend setters and finding or building innovative works geared towards interaction and collaboration. He has also been working with start-up companies across the country, promoting libraries and encouraging people to work closer with libraries in developing new ideas and concepts. Breakout Sessions Cybersecurity for Public Libraries: Striking a Balance Mary Shindell, Sales Manager, Merit Network, Ann Arbor, Michigan This presentation is intended to raise awareness of the cybersecurity threat to libraries and their patrons and to provide practical methods to reduce risk. We will share information regarding the need for security, including the what, when and how of typical threats and attacks. We will cite specific recent local and national breaches affecting libraries and education. Attendees will take away a free practical tool to implement at their library.
Gaming in the Library Michael McEvoy, Technology Coordinator, Northville District Library, Northville, Michigan Join us for a discussion of running wildly successful video gaming programs for your library. Three video game extraordinaires will discuss what video games they?ve used in programs, which gaming platforms they use and why, what patrons attend these programs (and not just kids?!?!). How much does this cost? How long is a given game title relevant for? Which games worked best? and why? What kind of attendance? Do the ?gamers? come back for more Library events? Does playing video games help make tweens and teens into life long library patrons? You?ve got questions, we?ve got answers... and Video Games! No Assumptions: 10 Years of Open-Access 3D Printing i n th e Library Eric Maslowski, Director, UM3D Lab, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 3D Printing is at the height of the Gartner Hype Cycle with many rushing to acquiring 3D Printers in the hope of empowering their user-base. However, 3D Printers have budgetary, support, health, and training considerations that can bring down the most hardened support systems. This session will provide attendees with candid and concrete examples of successes and failures around 3D Printing services while sharing a low-cost, sustainable, deployable, open-access service model suitable for Libraries and academic units. Windows 10 Kerry Sanders, School of Information Technology Chair, ITT Technical Institute, Canton, Michigan This session will start with an overview of Windows 10, and then explore the new enhancements, features and fixes to the operating system. Finally, Kerry will give us his recommendation for Windows 10 deployment. Tech Talk: Lending Devices/Electronics The final session of the day will feature a panel of library technology managers and specialists who will discuss current challenges and describe the approaches and solutions they are implementing in their libraries. Each member of the panel will have an opportunity to talk about electronic device lending opportunities that they have implemented in their library.

Irish [mailto:teresa at athousandlettershome.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2015 1:04 PM To: lisaw at uproc.lib.mi.us Subject: Northern MI Event Itinerary - A Thousand Letters Home Hi Lisa, I am the author of "A Thousand Letters Home," and will be touring northern MI next month with my presentation of "The Journey of the Letters." When I presented in Harrison last week, Sheila Bissonnette, Director of the Harrison Library & the Clare Pere Marquette District Library, said she had read on Michlib that you were compiling a list of my upcoming northern MI events. I thought perhaps I could simplify the process for you by sending my confirmed itinerary to-date. I do have two additional locations pending confirmation, but I did not include them on this list in the event they do not proceed with hosting the program. I am both humbled by and deeply grateful to Michigan libraries for their wonderful response and support. At the conclusion of my UP trip, I will have presented at over 125 MI libraries since 2012, including eight return engagements. My departed dad was a lifelong resident of Michigan. Although I am privileged to be the conduit to bring "A Thousand Letters Home" to print, I consider this to be his book not mine. Carrying on the legacy of our WWII veterans and sharing my father's message via "The Journey of the Letters" in over 200 venues has literally been life changing for me. Thank you for your efforts in helping to pass the word about this program throughout communities in northern Michigan! I routinely participate in media interviews in advance of my events to assist the host venue with publicity. If you are familiar with any newspapers or magazines that are dedicated to northern Michigan, please forward the names of the publications and I will be happy to reach out to them directly. I am also attaching my press release template. Thanks again, Lisa. I hope perhaps I will meet you in person Bayliss Public Library program on Sept. 21. Best wishes to you. Teresa K.

A few nut and bolts: Bob does ask to bring his book to sell but he and his wife handle that on their own. There was no charge to have him present. Turn out was smallish, about 12, but it was the perfect size for interesting discussions with the author/presenter. Bob knows his stuff and is an engaging, comfortable speaker. It was great to have him just before Labor Day but I'd recommend him for whenever you can book him.

Bob and Audrey Allison, aka The Storytellers (http://www.thestorytellers.org/), were here to present a program on being an everyday hero. The program included music and stories, humor and laughter. Bob and Audrey played off each other and completely engaged the kids throughout. Each child was able to play one (or more!) of the unusual instruments they brought and a wonderful time was had by all. Kids and parents alike enjoyed themselves. We were also fortunate enough to win a grant that allowed us to have an absolutely fascinating two-hour program with Alexandria's Nature Bus from Howell's Nature Center (http://www.spiritofalexandria.org/index.php/alexandria-s-nature-bus). The naturalists brought five birds of prey and presented a fabulous and fun program on them as well as had the kids explore the nature bus itself.

Learn more about how WCL is using imagination to reach key potential users in family, tourist, and student communities, and how staff is applying their experiences for new mobile services concepts. In the states, WPLS employs a bookmobile with a mobile hotspot, organizes special library card signup drives at local schools, builds book collections based on user input, and offers links to library materials that tie into school curricula at every grade level.

I saw this email and wasn?t sure what you meant. I used to work for the County of Oakland in the libraries (4 libraries at the time) there. It appears to me that the Oakland County spot covers current openings working for the County of Oakland and not meant to be a representation for all employers across Oakland County, so the lack of a library position represents that there are not currently any vacancies working for the Oakland County governmental unit. Emphasis on appears because it is my point of view which may not be in line with the author. I don?t know if that helps answer your question or misses the mark completely but thought I?d give it a try.

We want to make the best use of their time and ours but don't want to simply hand people a cleaning rag -- even though that's something we frequently need!

I apologize for any crossposting. It was a practice of a former director to have formal typed resolutions ready for the Library Board to fill in the blanks. They are *incredibly* helpful when looking back at the actions of a Board. I'm hoping that some of you might have templates you can share. I'll take any you have, but I'm specifically looking for templates for resolutions related to investment decisions, budget adoptions and/or amendments, and millage levies. Often the millage levy is resolved at the same time as the adoption of a next fiscal year's budget. We run calendar as fiscal, so we have to levy our millage months before we're finalizing a budget. I'm hoping someone out there might have them as separate resolutions. Note: I plan to compile responses for the listservs, so if you have any concerns about your template and/or response being distributed widely, *please* let me know in your email. Thank you all!

In government, briefings are the principle means of communication between government policy staff and senior officials. The demands of effective governance require senior officials to constantly learn and retain information about a vast range of topics and issues, which change rapidly and continuously. The only way they can do this is to rely on concise, clear, reliable briefings. This webcast provides you with a practical overview of preparing briefings for professionals in government and advocacy organizations.

Even when foundation data is readily available, it can be a challenge to determine whether to apply, how much to request, what to ask for, who to talk to, and so on. During this webinar, a grant proposal writer who has conducted foundation research for 20 years will share his methods and tricks of the trade. The webinar will cover the fundamentals, but experienced researchers may also benefit from advanced tips and a process that makes research easier to delegate.

A story basket is a collection of small materials that represent key story elements such as the character(s), setting, problem, and solution. For example, the storyteller could use a small stuffed animal for a character and a rock or leaf to represent the setting. Variations of the story basket strategy are limitless! Librarians can create story baskets, use them in conjunction with the selected read aloud, and then invite "young readers" to retell the story using the story basket's visual cues. Additionally, young readers could help create their own story baskets as an art activity. Advantages, such as oral language and listening skills development, will be discussed, and useful resources will be shared.

Ideally, we would like to have a place on our webpage were patrons could enter their email address and opt-in or subscribe to our event emails. I was hoping to gather some information from other libraries that currently use this kind of email based newsletter. If you could take a few moments to answer a couple of questions regarding your service it would be greatly appreciated. What is the name of the program or software you use? - is it efficient? - is it user-friendly? - Are you happy with it? What were the up-front costs for the program/software? - were there any long term costs to consider? Has your library seen an increase in program attendance with the use of the opt-in email list? - or other indications that the email list is working?
