Level III entries (grades (9-12) have a deadline of December 4, 2015 and Level I and II entries (grades 4-6 and 7-8) have a deadline of January 11, 2016. The state and national winners will be announced in May 2016.

Madcat sings and plays harmonica, guitar, high-hat, ukulele, jaw harp, banjo, kalimba, penny-whistle and pretty near anything else he can get his hands on, and received the first standing ovation so far in the concert series I've been doing in my two years at this library! Our event was adult oriented and the musical content was suited to that with blues, American roots music and jazz, but I could definitely see him putting on a kid-friendly family event as well. Madcat hails from Ann Arbor and his website is available at http://www.madcatmusic.net/index.html The Norton Shores Branch Library will definitely have him back again sometime. Alison D.

At my library I keep the paging slips until I return the books so I have the information easy at hand if one of my patrons loses or damages a book, and then I shred them. That means I have to remove and reattach the tri-fold bands to make a copy. Usually the middle of the tri-fold is showing, because that has the loaned to and from boxes, and not the patron?s name. So was the band put on wrong? Or was it a different band? For returning, I?d either take the band off and refold it so the patron?s name didn?t show, or tape the RIDES label over the patron?s name. Maybe contact the lending library and explain your concerns? This is a good time to remind everyone not to reuse paging slips for the same reason- to protect patrons? privacy.

As a librarian, my patron's privacy is extremely important to me. I have a MeLCat I'm returning that has one of the tri-fold bands, and the way it's folded (and the way it was received), shows that patron's name and barcode in plain sight (which isn't the problem, although I do detest the tri-fold bands!). The problem is that the library is a no-pack library. With the book being a no-pack, it also displays the title and partial content of the book. Through delivery (both coming and returning), the patron's name and book/subject requested are out in the open for any of the delivery people, book sorters etc to see. How would/do other librarian's handle a situation such as this? Amber L.

Madcat sings and plays harmonica, guitar, high-hat, ukulele, jaw harp, banjo, kalimba, penny-whistle and pretty near anything else he can get his hands on, and received the first standing ovation so far in the concert series I've been doing in my two years at this library! Our event was adult oriented and the musical content was suited to that with blues, American roots music and jazz, but I could definitely see him putting on a kid-friendly family event as well. Madcat hails from Ann Arbor and his website is available at http://www.madcatmusic.net/index.html The Norton Shores Branch Library will definitely have him back again sometime. Alison D.

To that end we are bringing in Bill Winkler, a speaker from the Leave a Legacy Speakers' bureau of the Planned Giving Round Table of Southeast Michigan. This is a professional organization of development directors and estate planning professionals helping to educate their membership and the general public about legacy gifts and estate planning. Bill will be presenting at the Novi Public Library on Friday, December 11th at 10am. This is a free and open event intended for Directors, Trustees, Staff and Friends. See all the details below. Thanks! Julie Julie Meredith Director Clarkston Independence District Library 6495 Clarkston Rd Clarkston, MI 48346 248.625.2212 juliem at indelib.org Would you like to provide solicitation-free programs at your library about the benefits of estate planning? Are you curious about how legacy gifts can be left to your library? Leave a Legacy Planned Giving Roundtable of Southeast Michigan can help The Planned Giving Roundtable (PGRT) is a professional organization of 140 development officers, estate planning attorneys and financial planners. PGRT's purpose is to educate their members and provide the necessary skills to be effective advocates and better fundraisers for the non-profits they represent. PGRT, through its Leave a Legacy Speakers' Bureau, can also help your library. Legacy gifts can be impactful and transformational to organizations that are near and dear to a donor's heart. This program is an effort to educate the broader public on the opportunities. There is absolutely no solicitation of any kind. Educating the public about leaving a legacy is ideal for the library environment, but before you bring a speaker into your library, you should know what they will say. Educate yourself, educate your patrons about legacy gifts and estate planning. Attend a session specifically for Library Directors and Staff Presented by Bill Winkler Friday, December 11th 10am-noon Novi Public Library Register by contacting: Julie Meredith juliem at indelib.org 248.625.2212 These presentations are about legacy funding for your library and estate planning education, not community foundations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Contact your Senators to let them know how essential this bill is to our children's education and futures. 2. Contact absolutely everyone you know and ask them to do the same thing.

The SNAP Roundtable Twitter account will pose main questions such as: - How is the work of records managers different from that of archivists in various contexts, such as academia, government, and business? - What do records managers find most challenging about their work or this field? - What do records managers find most enjoyable and exciting about their own work or this field? - What conceptual knowledge and skills are important for students to develop and how should they go about pursuing them? - What personal goals related to records management are #snaprt chatters pursuing? If you would like to have your discussion topic included in this chat, please send it to @SNAP_Roundtable on Twitter, submit it through the anonymous form on the SNAP RT chat webpage or e-mail it to ariadne.rehbein at gmail.com.

Here we have the option for a K-12 student OR instructor who does not live within the district. Our resident cards expire every 2 years. Non-resident cards expire based on how long they pay for (we have the option to pay quarterly). The K-12 student/instructor cards are a 1 year expiration date. As long as the child or teacher can prove they're still affiliated with a public or charter school within our district borders (student i.d., report card, paystub, etc.), we will renew their card for another year. There's no charge for those cards. I hope that helps. :) Valerie Long Desk Clerk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joann Crater" To: "MichLib-L Listserv" Sent: Friday, December 4, 2015 11:04:17 AM Subject: [Michlib-l] Library Cards Hi.

As our term wraps up, we wanted to share three free professional development webinars with you. In brief: - Tonight, Fri., 12/4, 5:30-6:30pm, Maker Office Hours - Mon., 12/7, 8-9pm, Data Presentation - Tues., 12/8, 7-8pm, High School Info Lit Strategies for College-Bound Students Detailed information for each is below. Come and cheer on the next generation of library professionals and supporters! Best, Kristin Fontichiaro =============== DETAILS =============== Maker Office Hours Presented by Kristin Fontichiaro and Mayank Khanna, Making in Michigan Libraries project Friday, December 4, 5:30 - 6:30pm Eastern (tonight!) When we put out a call last month for libraries to host our Making in Michigan Libraries PD Summer Road trip, we were stunned by the number of interested libraries. We're still working on reviewing the proposals, but we now know that the hunger for making is as big in Michigan as we anticipated! So to help jumpstart your maker activities (or to build on what you are already doing), we will be hosting an online "Maker Office Hours,? 'broadcasting' from the Ann Arbor District Library's Secret Lab (so if you're local, feel free to join us face-to-face) in the basement of the downtown branch and bring your laptop. Login details are below. We'll start by sharing about ten minutes of strategies about establishing the Big Picture goals of your making, then open up the floor for the rest of the hour for your questions and ideas about making. If you cannot participate live, we will archive the conversation at http://makinglibraries.si.umich.edu. If you like this format, we'll try to make this a monthly event. Hope to see you online!

With little exposure to large databases, searching techniques, and the open-minded attitude necessary to conduct research with a minimum of stress, students can end up turning to more familiar but less effective resources such as Google and Wikipedia, undercutting their instructors? attempts to have them conduct in-depth research. This webinar will explore strategies that high school teachers, librarians, and media specialists can use to prepare their college-bound students for the world of academic research so that students have the necessary toolkit to help them feel comfortable and confident using library resources.

The iPad does so many things that I try to do a few things that the workshop attendees will remember. I also depend heavily on questions from the attendees so they can get specific information on things that they are having problems with or may be interested in. I find that all the attendees usually get something from these questions. I also combine iPad and iPhone in these workshops since the operating systems are the same which makes the functionality virtually the same for both. I tried a ?iPad: Beyond the Basics? workshop but I had about half the attendees that needed the basics, so that it didn?t work out well with such a range of knowledge levels in the class. I draw heavily from the New York Public Library website which has handouts available for their workshops in PDF form. https://sites.google.com/a/nypl.org/techconnect/home/class-handouts-by-series Mark Morton Technical Services Librarian Leland Township Library 203 E.

The Sharp MX-2300N prints color and black and white and does connect to the internet via Ethernet port. We are asking $100 OBO for that one. Both printers also come with ink made for the printers specifically. I've included pictures of both in the attachments of this e-mail.

The Branch District Library Board of Trustees seeks a progressive and original leader who can and will capitalize on the Library's 2015 millage success and create a sound forward-thinking plan for the Library's future. The Library staff (37 employees, 23 FTE) serves the 46,905 citizens of Branch County and Allen Township in Hillsdale County with a $1.6 million operating budget. The Branch District Library was formed in 1991 by combining the resources and services of individual public libraries in Coldwater, Algansee, Bronson, Quincy, Sherwood, and Union Township. Branches of the District Library remain active in those communities, each of which has its own unique character, community support, programs and services. The challenge for the new Director will be to help the Library and its services flourish with its communities, move forward with innovation to restore hours and services and become recognized as the community resource. The District collaborates with the Woodlands Library Cooperative and other agencies to provide technology, special programs and much more. Branch County is located in southern Michigan, half way between Chicago and Detroit along the Old Sauk Trail, also known as the U.S. 12 Heritage Route. With warm small town hospitality, Coldwater (the county seat) and the surrounding communities offer festivals, shopping, restaurants and more than 100 area lakes for fishing and recreational activities-all amid very diverse and affordable housing options. Cultural amenities include the historical Tibbits Opera House in Coldwater-the second oldest theater in Michigan-offering near perfect acoustics in an intimate 499-seat setting. The theater offers a fine array of performances throughout the year and has developed an outstanding reputation for its Summer Theatre performances. Branch County is served by five school districts and two colleges-Baker College and Kellogg Community College. The area has a healthy and expanding economy, including the recently announced Clemens Food Group's $225 million investment in a new pork production facility. For more about the communities and the Library see Branch Links. Responsibilities. The Director reports to a seven-member Library Board of Trustees and under the broad policy guidance and direction from the Board, performs professional and administrative duties in planning, developing, implementing, and directing public library services for the Branch District Library. These duties include personnel management, budget preparation and financial management, policy and project development, facilities management, and community relations. The Director will work effectively with elected officials at the local, township and state level; and with the media, stakeholder groups, and the communities to enhance the Library's image as the heart of the county. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include a Master's Degree in Library Science from an ALA-accredited program; four years of experience as an administrator/director or as a department head for a public library (or equivalent); and the ability to obtain and retain Michigan Certification Level 1. Essential attributes and skills include: excellent communication and organizational skills; the ability and desire to plan, develop, and administer the activities of a public library; supervisory experience; demonstrated ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with the Board, staff and community stakeholders; and an understanding and appreciation of public library best practices in the areas of intellectual freedom, collections, and library technologies. Successful experience as a library director reporting to a governing board, experience leading and implementing a strategic planning process and experience with a successful millage campaign are highly desirable. Compensation. The salary range is $62,000 to $74,000 (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 via email to Dan Bradbury on or before the closing date of January 24, 2016.

There is music CD ripping and movie ripping. Music CDs generally don't have DRM (Digital rights management), and ripping does not involve software that circumvents that. I go through my own CD collection and rip music often with Windows Media Player (built-in software on PCs). >From what I can gather, ripping DVDs involves software that tries to circumvent DRM, and that is when it gets illegal. One site puts it well: ".. the moment a studio protects the DVD with DRM, it gains both a technical and a legal advantage?ripping is almost certainly unlawful." The original question was about the software. I believe that PCs do not come with DVD ripping software, and it would have a steep learning curve. Basically, I would guess that anyone who is capable of such copying (which is probably illegal) probably owns a computer.

Hoping you can share your knowledge with me on the subject of fees charged by your library. As we discuss finance issues locally, I have been asked to find out the following information from libraries around the State. If you would be willing to reply to me 'off-list' (see my email below) I would be most appreciative. To what extent do you operate on a "fee for service" model, if at all? How do you determine how and what fees are assessed, and to whom? Do you incorporate any kind of 'needs test' when determining fees for services? Thank you all so much!

They can be open, moderated, for announcements, for discussion, archived, broad or very narrow in scope; i.e., whatever the list designer wants. Because they come directly to your email inbox, news and updates: are timely, don't add another piece of paper to your work site, can be quickly shared, are subject focused, and are archived. The library community in Michigan is fortunate to have access to some very informative lists and newsletters including those made available through Midwest Collaborative for Library Services. Information about the following and other available lists can be found at: https://mcls.org/news/listservs/ Don't miss out. Review the available lists and see which are applicable to your job and interests. * The Meldatabases-list provides information to library staff around the state about the MeL databases. Get information on MeL databases features, issues, updates, and other news. Postings are archived and available to current subscribers. * The MCLS Newsletter is distributed via email monthly. It contains sections on news, training, eResources, MeL (MeLCat), and RIDES. The most recent online version of the newsletter is always available at the MCLS eNewsletter page. It is important to note that the MCLS Newsletter is not available in print form. 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.

Message-ID: <005e01d13500$8920b7f0$9b6227d0$@gossagesager.com> Director-Natrona County Public Library - Casper, Wyoming Literacy, Education and a Thriving Community-if these excite you, the Natrona County Public Library wants you as its next Library Director! Join the Natrona County Public Library Board of Trustees and the nearly 81,000 Natrona County residents as NCPL and the community move into a period of expansion and growth. The successful Director will engage the community in continuing to provide a doorway to learning and literacy services and programs through the Main library in Casper, the Mills and Edgerton branches, a bookmobile and the books-by-mail program. Governed by a five-member Board of Trustees (appointed by the Board of County Commissioners), the Library is supported by a dedicated, progressive staff of 35 FTEs, a $2.9 million annual budget, and strong community services and programs. The Director is responsible for implementing policies and plans and providing for the effective operation of the system. Opportunities include exploring the possibilities and potentially developing a plan for funding and renovating its current facility and/or embarking on a capital campaign for a new facility, increasing the use of technology services for patrons, and continuing to develop new community partnerships. The successful Director will also work with and support the ongoing work of the Library Foundation and the Friends of the Library. Natrona County has a rich heritage tied with American migration along the California, Oregon, Mormon Pioneer trails, Pony Express route, ranching-western lore, and the freewheeling boom-and-bust of the oil business. Located in Wyoming's central plateau, the County's 5,342 square miles include the municipalities of Casper (the county seat and second largest metropolitan area in the state), Midwest, Edgerton, Mills, Evansville, and Bar Nunn. The area's economy is tied to natural resources, notably energy and agriculture. A pattern of boom and bust in the energy industry has made Casper's business leaders aware of the need to diversify the economy and Casper has emerged as Wyoming's business, financial, manufacturing, and retail center. As a result of its central location the area currently is experiencing vitality as Wyoming's meeting place and transportation hub. Outdoor recreation remains an important industry and avocation-Alcova and Pathfinder reservoirs provide boating facilities, Casper Mountain hosts winter sports, Hogadon Ski Area offers three 600-foot vertical runs for skiers, a world class Biathlon and Nordic ski Center, golfers have access to four area courses and Casper Whitewater Park is a one half mile stretch of the North Platte River with four man-made rock features. Hunting and fishing are popular with residents and out-of-state visitors, many of them guided by local outfitters. Natrona County is proud of its "choice based" school district and the presence of Casper College and University of Wyoming Casper. For additional information on the area's recreational, educational and cultural amenities see Natrona links. Responsibilities. Under the general oversight of the Library Board of Trustees, the Director plans, manages and directs the operations, programs, services, and personnel of the Natrona County Public Library System. Key responsibilities include: managing and directing library operations; ensuring high quality library programs and services; developing and maintaining short and long term plans for the Library; representing the Library and coordinating departmental activities with other divisions, departments, outside agencies, community organizations and the media; and staying abreast of new trends and innovations in the field of public library management. Please see the full Library Director Job Description for primary duties and responsibilities, desired skills and additional details. Qualifications. The position requires a Master's Degree in Library Science and five years of experience overseeing public library operations; or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Required knowledge includes: principles and practices of public library system administration; public library policies, procedures and standards of service; Federal, State and Local regulations governing library operations; current trends in library services, programming and technology; methods for evaluating public library programs, policies and operational requirements; processes for developing and administering budgets; and supervisory principles, practices and methods. Prior success reporting to a governing board is highly desirable. Compensation. The position offers a hiring salary range of $85,000 - $99,800 (dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an attractive benefits package.

Mardi asked me to post this: Have you ever had Mardi Link to your library? If the answer is yes then you know what an engaging speaker she is. Mardi (_BOOTSTRAPPER_, _THE DRUMMOND GIRLS_) recently received her MFA and has developed a memoir-writing workshop she's now offering to give at libraries. Called, "Yes, you CAN write a memoir!" the workshop lasts two hours and includes helpful writing prompts, opportunities for participants to read their work out loud to the group, a suggested reading list and handouts, publishing insight, and a personal on-site critique from Mardi. She has several dates available between Jan. 2 and March 31 and charges $500 all inclusive. If interested Mardi's email address is mardi5 at charter.net. I attended her memoir-writing workshop at the Charlevoix Public Library a few years ago and loved it. I'm going to send out an email to our Friends to gauge the interest of such a class and hope to set a date with her myself.

The Library of Michigan and MCLS are pleased to announce a several month long community engagement training program for Michigan library staff. The training will be led by coaches from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, and is being offered at no charge to selected Michigan libraries, with generous stipends provided through Library of Michigan LSTA funding. The program On March 15 and 16, 2016, a cohort of up to 50 Michigan library staff will convene in East Lansing, Michigan for a 1.5 day workshop led by two certified Harwood Institute coaches. That training will be followed up by nine months of coaching calls from Harwood, and guidance and support from Harwood trained Library of Michigan and MCLS staff. The Harwood Public Innovators Workshop is a 1.5 day experience to help you and your organization learn what it means to turn outward ? to use the community, not your conference room, as your reference point for choices and action. Although free of charge to participate, this program will be rigorous. With support and guidance from MCLS and the Library of Michigan, cohort members are expected to develop action plans, implement those plans, and demonstrate how their efforts are making a change in their communities. Only those who can commit the time and energy are encouraged to participate. The Library of Michigan and MCLS have been using the tools of the Harwood Institute and sharing them with libraries since 2013. We are excited to be able to support training for a cohort of Michigan library staff. Eligibility Applicants must be an employee or trustee of a Michigan library.

PLA is partnering with the American Library Association (ALA) Public Programs Office to present this webinar designed to teach participants the value of measuring outcomes within library programs. This introductory webinar will provide an overview of outcome measurement and the Project Outcome tools, and is specifically aimed toward programming librarians interested in getting started using outcome measurement. Whether you are a programming librarian or in charge of programmatic decision-making at your library, it is important to understand the different ways to evaluate your programs.

Our 11th book was Do Unto Otters and we hosted author/illustrator Laurie Keller on a tour of Michigan schools and libraries. We appreciate all the comments and suggestions in the survey. We review those and do our best to incorporate as many as possible into the next program year. For 2016, one big change we will be making is the program timeline. The program is moving to March for "March is Reading month." The Library will select the next book in spring 2016, develop materials in summer and fall, arrange the author visits in the fall, and then deliver the materials in winter 2017. So the next program with author tour will be March 2017 and then annually in March thereafter. I have attached the final report for your information.

We encourage students and families to attend a MI College Goal event where an expert can help in filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Assistance is available for free at over 30 locations throughout the State. Michigan's deadline for priority consideration of State aid is March 1. As a reminder, our office does not know which college a student plans to attend; therefore, State aid awards are based on the first college listed on the FAFSA. Students must file a renewal FAFSA every year to be considered for continued program eligibility. Students are also responsible for notifying our office if their college choice changes-this can be done online using the MiSSG Student Portal at www.michigan.gov/ssg or by phone at 1-888-4-GRANTS (888-447-2687). For information on MI College Goal and locations/dates, please visit www.micollegegoal.org. For information on State of Michigan aid programs, please visit www.michigan.gov/mistudentaid.

Seven months into statewide MAP Year 3, the program is an unqualified success. Thanks to all of your hard work to promote the program, the number of hits to the MAP website in the first seven months of this year's program has already exceeded last year's 12 month total by 33%. And on the pass checkout side, the percentage increase is even better, as in much, much, better. How does a 164% increase in the first seven months of this year's program sound, vs last year's 12 month total??? Did you know that nearly all of our DNR partner venues are open all year? With the exception of a couple of campgrounds and state parks, the total number of which I could count on one hand, the DNR sites remain open regardless of the weather. Don't forget to encourage your patrons to get outside with a MAP pass and enjoy! We've made mention previously that we are always on the lookout for new opportunities to take MAP to the next level. We are currently in discussion with our MAP sponsors for a potential project that, if it comes to fruition, would serve to do exactly that for MAP in Summer, 2016. I'm not quite ready to reveal specifics at this point, but I encourage you to keep your eyes and ears open. You don't want to be "sleeping" when we (hopefully) roll out the next big thing for MAP next year. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Have a safe and happy holiday season.

Efforts to raise awareness about these challenges at the international level include the United Nations? recently released Sustainable Development Agenda, articulating 17 goals to shape global action ?for people, planet, and prosperity,? the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) 11 Action Lines, and the International Federation of Library Association?s (IFLA) Lyon Declaration on Access to Information and Development. As part of the Advances in Librarianship series, this book seeks chapters at the intersection of innovation, community challenges, sustainable development, and public libraries. Topics can include, but are not limited to how public libraries: * Can serve as critical community access points to individual and community transformation in key challenge areas such as health & wellness, economic development, poverty, environment, civic engagement, education, and other areas. * Create, combine, and deliver innovative services and resources (e.g., food access and nutrition programs in undernourished communities and communities that lack access to health foods, design and prototyping labs, citizen science enablers, open data and analytics centers). * Foster community innovation through promoting and facilitating entrepreneurship, small business development, and economic development. * Engage in strategic partnerships across sectors and serve as a unifying community platform for social innovation. * Promote inclusion, equity, and justice through access to information, learning, information and communications technologies (ICTs), and opportunity particularly to underserved or unserved populations. The book welcomes chapters that include case studies, empirical studies, and best practices from around the world. Please direct questions and submissions to: libinnovation at gmail.com.

The bill is expected to be formally presented to Governor Snyder soon. Michigan Library Association and EveryLibrary have expressed concerns about its impact on the ability of libraries and schools to provide factual information before elections. You can read more about the bill at http://www.mlive.com/lansing-news/index.ssf/2015/12/local_governments_school_distr.html. Press releases are also available from Michigan Library Association (http://www.milibraries.org/mla-urges-governor-snyder-to-veto-sb-571/) and from EveryLibrary (http://everylibrary.org/2000-veto-sb571-signatures-24-hours/).

Rick Snyder to veto a campaign reform bill that would ultimately impact Michigan residents' access to campaign information. Senate Bill 571 was passed on Dec. 16, with amendments from the House including a provision that bars government employees from using public funds to distribute information about a local ballot proposal 60 days before it appears on the ballot. "While the intent of the Michigan legislature may be to ensure that government employees are proper stewards of public funding," said Feldman. "In actuality, this broad-sweeping bill prohibits one of their public bodies - the library - from doing one of its main jobs: providing the voters of Michigan unbiased access to information, including factual information about local campaigns and ballot measures. On behalf of librarians around the country, I urge the governor to veto this bill." The provision in question is Item 3, Section 57, which states: "A public body, or a person acting for a public body, shall not, during the period 60 days before an election in which a local ballot question appears on a ballot, use public funds or resources for a communication by means of radio, television, mass mailing, or prerecorded telephone message if that communication references a local ballot question and is targeted to the relevant electorate where the local ballot question appears on the ballot." In addition, public employees violating this ruling could be fined anywhere from $1,000 to $20,000 and could be imprisoned.

As part of the Library Network, the majority of our visitors have cards already in our shared system, but there are some that are not, including MILibrary Card holders. Do you call or contact these types of patron's home libraries before giving them privileges? If so, do you allow patrons some limited privileges before you validated that their account is in good standing? What methods do you use to contact and keep track of these patrons? You can answer off list and I can post the compiled responses. Thanks!

Normally we would be open, but of course, it happened on the two days we were closed for the holiday. I would like to implement something in the future that would at least open up our community room and public restrooms (they are separate from the main library), and have it be a place like you said, to charge phones, warm up, get some water. I am thinking we could set up the laptops in there for people who don't have their own technology as well. Also, we have a strong Friends group that may be able to provide some snacks, or perhaps local businesses could be set up ahead of time for emergency situations. I would like to develop an entire protocol and playbook for future emergencies too. I am thinking this might be a huge opportunity to set up a network across the state of resources between libraries as well. Perhaps there is even grant money in something like this? Anyway, let me know if you get any good advice from someone that may already be doing this.
