For those of you that were asking about guidelines for supervised visits - I've attached what we came up with.  I recognize the folly in developing a policy or guideline for certain people/situations, but we all know that that's why some policies are made.

I have chosen to call this a "library guideline" - a guideline for behavior of all people in the library that is shorter and easier to refer to than our patron behavior policy, but still follows the rules set there.

I have posted this guideline in the foyer and on the kid's room door, and have given it to (and talked about it with) the social worker in question.  It did make the supervised visit much more tolerable on Tuesday, and we hope it will improve other supervised visits as well.

Thanks for your input, and I hope our "guidelines" will help other libraries too.

Happy New Year!

Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Supervised visits policies

Policies for this specific group of patrons seems like a bad idea.  Anytime you are writing policy you have to be very careful about targeting specific people.  The only differentiations I can think of that we have (and are commonly made) is children vs adults and non-profit vs for-profit entities.  I can't see how are they really different from everyone else other or our expectations of them would be any different.

Supervised visits are becoming more and more frequent at our library, and with them come people that don't normally use the library, and don't know what behavior is expected.

Do any of you have specific policies for supervised visits, or have hand-outs to give parents and social workers?  We have discovered finger-painting and clay work, along with lots of snacks happening in our kids room - plus general mayhem and messes.

We have patron behavior policies, but it would be nice to have something specific to this situation.

Thanks for any help you can give!

On December 19 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a second E-rate Modernization order, which brings to a close the most comprehensive review and reform of the 17-year-old E-rate program.

How will the program changes affect you and your libraries? How can you get more of the available funding? Join ALA's Office for Information Technology Policy's (OITP) Marijke Visser and Larra Clark, along with OITP Fellow Bob Bocher, for an in-depth discussion of the latest E-rate order. We'll answer your questions so you are prepared to take advantage of the new opportunities.

Subject: [Michlib-l] System Director,
	Northeast KS Library System -Search Reopened!
Message-ID: <03f701d0290f$9a96b280$cfc41780$@gossagesager.com>

System Director - Northeast Kansas Library System 

Lead an innovative and accomplished Kansas library system, continuing
outstanding levels of service and effective resource sharing. The Executive
Board of the Northeast Kansas Library System <http://www.nekls.org/>
(headquartered in Lawrence, KS), seeks an experienced library
leader-responsive to member, staff, and community needs and skilled in
focusing the efforts of a team of talented professionals-as its next System
Director. NEKLS, one of the seven Kansas regional systems, is a multi-type
library system and works in partnership with its 118 member libraries
providing unique and innovative services. With a $2.8 million annual budget
(funded primarily from local property taxes) and 10 FTE system staff, NEKLS
serves a 14 county region (more than 40% of Kansas population). Member
libraries range from small, rural libraries to very large urban libraries.
NEKLS is a member-focused organization with a reputation for being an
incubator for statewide projects, for providing excellent continuing
education opportunities for member library directors, trustees and staff,
and for strong outreach services to its diverse membership, including
support for innovative technologies. Key projects include NExpress (an open
source ILS), Recollections Kansas (a digitization project), KLOW (KS
Libraries on the Web), Kansas Library Express (the statewide courier
service), and the accreditation and grant program for member libraries. 

Ranked as one of the top ten best college towns, Lawrence, Kansas
<http://www.lawrenceks.org/>  (home of the University of KS Jayhawks) offers
much more than championship basketball tradition. Founded in 1854 by the New
England Emigrant Aid Society, Lawrence was a stop on both the Oregon and the
Santa Fe Trail. Later, Lawrence was the home of Langston Hughes and William
S. Burroughs. Considered one of the National Trust for Historic
Preservation's "Dozen Most Distinctive Communities," Lawrence is one of
those rare exceptions-a historic downtown that remains the heart of a city.
Centered on Massachusetts Street ("Mass Street"), the area features
boutiques, restaurants, bookstores, and music venues. With a population of
89,000 people, Lawrence and Northeast Kansas offer a charming blend of urban
and rural environments. In addition to nationally ranked public schools,
Lawrence and the area offer the Lied Center of Kansas, Spencer Museum of
Art, Liberty Hall, and Haskell Indian Nations University. Outdoor
recreational venues include nationally known golf courses, extensive planned
bike paths, Clinton Lake and Prairie Park. Two metro areas- Kansas City and
Topeka- are a 30 minute drive away. For additional details on NEKLS and the
Northeast Kansas region, see NEKLS Links
<http://www.gossagesager.com/neklslinks.htm> .

Responsibilities. The System Director, under the direction of the 18-member
Executive Board, has overall responsibility for leadership and management of
a fourteen county multi-type library system that seeks to pursue leadership
and innovation in library service. Duties will include management of
planning, budgets, personnel, service functions, and legislative advocacy.
The System Director works with the Board, staff, member libraries, other
Kansas systems, and the State Library to establish the strategic vision for
the System, aligning its mission with member library needs and priorities.
The Director will also ensure an active NEKLS presence in the statewide
library community and professional activities. For complete details, visit
NEKLS System Director Job Description
<http://www.gossagesager.com/NEKLSjobdesc.pdf> .

Qualifications. Minimum qualifications are an ALA-accredited Master's Degree
in Library Science and five years of progressively responsible
administrative experience. Essential attributes and skills include: vision,
creativity, energy and enthusiasm; superior interpersonal skills;
flexibility; political acumen; collaborative and consensus-building skills;
experience in recruiting, mentoring, evaluating and retaining an excellent
staff; and a desire to continue the tradition of excellence and innovation
within the System. Success working with and reporting to a governing board,
political advocacy experience, the ability to work with member libraries on
legal, governance and policy issues, and  prior experience in regional
systems or consortia are additional preferred qualifications. 

Compensation. The hiring salary range is $80,000-100,000 (placement being
dependent on experience and qualifications) with an attractive benefits
package.

 Libraries in the Community
Message-ID: <226e6f2105624a41bcc8d705fdfa6bcf@HISTORY1.gppl.local>

Hi Everyone,
The Grosse Pointe Library Foundation and Friends of the Grosse Pointe Library
are excited to host Peter Pearson, President of the Friends of the St. Paul
Library, for a half-day workshop on "Demonstrating the Relevance of Libraries
in the Community."  We hosted him in 2012 for a workshop on fundraising and
it was excellent.

The workshop will be held on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 from
10am-12pm.   It will be held at our Grosse Pointe Woods branch, 20680
Mack Avenue which is very close to I-94.  Cost is $25 and breakfast will be
provided. Deadline for registration is January 23, 2015. Call 313-343-2325.

In the interest of serving as many libraries as possible, we will be limiting each
library system to two people, however, you can leave names on a waiting list
and if we don't fill up, we can allow more from one library to attend.  Hope you
can make it! Peter is a great speaker.  See the attachment.

Dear Colleagues, 

I wonder if you have any policies that limit patrons living in group homes that differ in any way you treat general patrons. We have a group home who's residents come together to our library frequently to check out DVDs. We have a policy that limits 5 DVDs per Family. It's been suggested that we limit group home residents and treat them like a "family" because they share a household. I believe that they should be viewed as individuals and treated individually. Has any of this come up in your day to day considerations.

Sincerely,
Jaema

We treat all group home residents as individuals, unless the home itself decides to have a card.  Many times the caregivers will limit the checkouts for the resident, but we do not treat them any differently than any other patron.  It has worked well for us, and it seems to make both the caregivers and the residents happy.

If you are thinking about a bath and body class or just soap, give Rachel Sadowski a call.  She's working in the Hopkins area right now but is willing to travel and often goes to the east side of the state to visit family.

You have to provide boxes and newspaper to wrap the soap in so that it cools down slowly.  Rachel.A.Sadowski at gmail.com269-591-0494

Hey all,

We had a very successful "Make Your Own Salves and Balms" program here at YDL too, over on the east side of the state. The person who did it, Heather Wysor, of Magic Wysor Balms (she sells them at our local food coop and at our farmers' market), makes soaps too, but I think that's more involved than she'd want to do for a library program.

It's so cool to see library patrons in Michigan interested in learning about how to make their own household items!

If you want any info about Heather Wysor of Magic Wysor balms, just send me an email. :)

Message-ID: <CAEUHmdZRCAOg9pxkL9vPL17ek=3ztS8dY_b-mL85L=Mb2y_CSA@mail.gmail.com>

Over the last few months we have experienced multiple issues with RIDES
that we just can't seem to get cleared up. The driver was leaving a tote or
two at one of our branches on a regular bases.  It seems as if he doesn't
have enough room in his vehicle. It's been a few weeks since a tote was
left.  Now we are seeing materials that were packaged in dedicated boxes,
opened and thrown into the totes. This includes audio books and dvd's.  My
guess is that he doesn't have room for the boxes.  Since we are a PACK
library, we are very careful about following protocol.

Attached are a few pictures of what we are seeing.  The first picture shows
brand new books sent out from the main branch to the New Lothrop branch
tied in twine.  These were sent packaged with a correct label.

We have received a couple complaints from other libraries about their
materials being damaged, and we apologize if this has happened to you. We
are trying to get this situation corrected.

Hi everyone,

I am looking into doing a program during summer reading with costumed
superheros for kids, and a separate program for teens that is something
like a cartoon/comicbook drawing class. Does anyone have any
recommendations of costume groups or cartoon artists for programs like this?

Thanks so much,

Message-ID: <CANxL7DJ4h=-z_9HoyVGoCCgAUXkoM-hV69LouM8QHY0qDWeWhw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear All, especially Children's Librarians and Youth Librarians -

As part of Tecumseh District Library's current Strategic Plan, we are
investigating adding technology to our Children's Area and Collection.
We have a healthy circulating Children's AV collection of DVDs, Talking
Books on CDs, Read-Alongs, and Music CDs; now we want to add forms of
current technology to the mix.
We already have 18 computers available for public use (patrons of all ages)
in the main section of the library, but this is a completely different
service/collection specifically aimed at children (and their parents) which
we are investigating.,

*Background:*
In the past, we had a Computer set up in the Children's Area for the
purpose of playing children's educational games on CD-ROMs; it was *not*
hooked up to the Internet.
We had both an in-house collection of Children's CD-ROMs and a circulating
collection, which included preschool and early elementary titles such as
Berenstain Bears, Clifford, Sesame Street, I Spy, Curious George, Nancy
Drew, American Girl, Amazon Trail, etc., etc.

While these collections were popular from the beginning, they grew to be
problematic as newer programs came out which would not run on our aging
in-house Children's computer, despite their stated compatibility.  It also
became difficult trying to decide which circulating programs to order that
were compatible with the wide variety of patrons' home computers and
operating systems.
We eventually withdrew these collections as circulation decreased and the
aging computer eventually died.
So, it is time to start over again with fresh ideas and a variety of
current technical formats.

*Questions:*
What kind of *in-house technology* do you provide in your Children's
Section?
What kind of *circulating technology collections* do you provide in your
Children's Section?
What kind of upkeep do the circulating collections require after each
circulation?

Pros and Cons?
Price points?
Brands/Vendors/Titles to consider for each format?
Words of advice?

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and wisdom with TDL on this
new venture!

I would like to purchase some USB flash drives to have available for sale at

less range. Have not found them at that low of a price though. Does anyone
have a good and affordable vendor for these or know of a place where I can

Hi all-- 

I just received, out of the blue, invoices for an "annual software assurance program" from our phone vendor, indicating that as of January 1, NEC requires this on all of their systems. I'm interested in knowing if any of you with a NEC system got this surprise, and if so, what you're being charged. 

Thanks so much for your time.

ALCTS Midwinter Symposium Update

CHICAGO ? The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) presents ?Collection Development Strategies in an Evolving Marketplace: an ALCTS Midwinter Symposium,? a presentation of the ALCTS President?s Program Committee and organized by Michael Levine-Clark.  Join your colleagues from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, January 30, 2015 at the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting in Chicago.

The starting point for this symposium is the seminal article ?Collection Directions: Some Reflections on the Future of Library Collections and Collecting? written by Lorcan Dempsey, Constance Malpas, and Brian Lavoie (OCLC) and freely available at http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/research/publications/library/2014/oclcresearch-collection-directions-preprint-2014.pdf.

The program explores strategies for selecting, acquiring and budgeting for new materials such as streaming media, unbundled content, and institutional open access models. Presenters  address front line issues such as how to maximize resources to support user needs, how to manage unknown elements of these new models and how to market and build the library?s profile. The speakers will explore long term effects on our collections and how traditional collection development may be changing.

Attendees will come away from this symposium with a greater understanding of how to implement new content and acquisition programs in their own libraries from these presentations:
Big picture talk on how collections/collection development is evolving
Demand-Driven Acquisition of Monographs
Journals, articles on Demand
New Forms of Content. What aren?t we doing (or are just starting) that should be part of CD?
Panel Discussion: What is the future of collection development? Where do we go from here?
Moderated by Michael Levine-Clark

Confirmed Speakers Include:  Rick Anderson, Steve Bosch, Lorcan Dempsey, Kay Downey, Kathi Fountain, Jesse Koennecke, Michael Levine-Clark, Andrew Meyer, Christina Mune, Steve Oberg

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year to all.  We are braving the blizzard,
just like most of the rest of the State!

I need some help from other libraries.  I will going to our Township Board
soon to ask for an increase in our annual operating budget for the coming
fiscal year (yes, we are one of the last who receive a 'negotiated' yearly
allocation rather than having a voted millage), and am hoping to have some
data to share with them.

 

Can you please tell me the following information: 

 

Total annual Operating Budget for most recent fiscal year:

Percentage (or amount) funded by funding municipality or voted millage:

Percentage (or amount) funded by Friends:

Percentage (or amount) funded by other donations:

Percentage (or amount) funded by State Aid & Penal Fines:  

Percentage (or amount) funded by in-house revenues (copies, fines, sales,
etc):  

 

As always, I appreciate your help!

Message-ID: <15C202C4-847B-4A69-A90D-73A89A7798EC@michigan.gov>

Hello Michigan Library Community!  We are currently in the 4th year of our current contract for core eContent (i.e. databases) made available in the Michigan eLibrary and funded by LSTA.  Normally the Library of Michigan does 3 year contracts with two 1 year extensions.  The current contract will expire on September 30, 2015.  We have, therefore, embarked on the RFP process for core resource content and have just begun the information gathering phase.  The Library of Michigan will issue a RFP at the end of February 2015.  

To find out what the process entails, timelines and all manner of other information, just go to:  http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_39174_70693---,00.html

Of course, your feedback is always welcome!

Kind regards,
Deb

Subject: [Michlib-l] E-Rate: Critical Information for those libraries who
 will fit the budget definitions for urban libraries
Message-ID: <CY1PR09MB0633AE4F630777F7D0C020CFFE470@CY1PR09MB0633.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

We learned from the SLD today that given the late announcement in the Second Modernization Order regarding the increased rate for those libraries that fall into the budget definitions for "urban" libraries ($5.00 per square foot rather than $2.30 per square foot for Category 2 services), they were unable to get the necessary form changes made to accommodate this change and still open the window next Wednesday, January 14.  They are, however, working on making those changes and expect to have form updates available 7-10 days after the window opens.

Applicants with libraries as recipients of service who may fall into this category have two choices:


  1.  They can wait until the updated form is made available before submitting their Forms 471 (FWIW, that would be our consultant at EdTech Strategies recommendation so that application processing proceeds more quickly and easily during PIA review), or
  2.  They can file their forms when the window opens and before the revised form is available in which case those libraries who would be eligible for the higher rate would be flagged during PIA review and the budget changes would be addressed with applicants at that point.

I think we probably all agree it was smart not to delay the opening of the window-especially since the window length is a little shorter than previous years and given the challenges we will all likely face in filing applications this year.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Under the Radar Michigan Book and DVD Bulk Purchase
 Opportunity and New MAP Partnership, Too!
In-Reply-To: <133349982.7256019.1420720318798.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>
Message-ID: <80570089.7263614.1420725051028.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>

All,

I am pleased to announce that TLN has entered into a new partnership with Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman of the Emmy Award winning PBS show Under The Radar Michigan and Scribe Publishing Company http://utrmichigan.com/ They probably need no introduction to the Michigan library community, but here is what the director of one TLN library had to say about UTR:

"We hosted the Under the Radar guys and it was fabulous. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman from UTR accomplished something that doesn't happen often: they made us laugh over and over * and * reminded us how great Michiganders are. UTR isn't about "the best of the best" it's about the unique towns, festivals and travel opportunities there are in our state. It really boils down to the people behind these destinations. The coolest thing is that Tom and Jim are a Michigan success story themselves. They both found themselves out of work during the recession. They knew each other as fellow media professionals, so they put their heads together and started pitching ideas to PBS. Their book sales were brisk (we're hoping there can be a group discounted buy, maybe, for public libraries in Michigan?). At least four of our guests (full-house) said it was the best program they'd ever attended! Don't you want to have them, too?"

As part of our partnership Tom and Jim are offering Michigan libraries a discounted purchase opportunity for their book Under the Radar: Michigan http://scribe-publishing-company.myshopify.com/products/utr as well as the four dvd set of their show. Michigan libraries can purchase the book for just $16.00. List price is $24.95. Michigan libraries can purchase the complete four dvd set of the show for just $90.00. List price is $120.00. TLN will place one consolidated order, ship to your library, pay the vendor invoice, then bill your library. 

Please email your order(s) for the book and/or dvd set to me by no later than Friday, February 13. In order to facilitate the distribution process here, we ask that non-TLN libraries also include their RIDES delivery number with their order.

The other aspect of this new partnership concerns promotion by UTR of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program. Both Tom and Jim are media professionals. Their UTR Facebook https://www.facebook.com/UTRMichigan page has in excess of 45,000 likes. Their willingness to include MAP in their social media presence will be a huge boost to the promotional aspect of the program. To wit, here is what UTR has agreed to do, promotion-wise, with and for the MAP program:

** Support MAP communication efforts via their Social Media world
** Include a minimum of 1 post per month profiling events, press, news, etc that are part of MAP communication efforts
** Provide MAP with an ad presence for one year on the utrmichigan.com (Size: 90x120)
** UTR will include MAP events or news in its monthly newsletter, once per quarter.

That is a lot of promotion, and it sounds like a lot of work, too! I think libraries are getting the easier end of the deal here :)

Again, please send your orders for the UTR: Michigan book and/or four dvd set to my attention by no later than Friday, February 13. And don't forget to include that RIDES delivery number!

Thanks.

Jim

We need the help of all Community Anchor Institutions (CAI) in Michigan to answer a short questionnaire regarding broadband adoption. Institutions include K-12 schools, universities, libraries, hospitals/emergency medical facilities, and public safety facilities, and the information you provide data to the Connect Michigan map.

Survey is here: http://www.connectmi.org/cai-data

The survey will ask for:

*        Name and contact info

*        Institution

*        Address

*        Internet access (Yes/No)

*        Internet speed (You can get your speed by linking to the speed test if you don't know it. This link is found in the survey.)


It should only take about 3 minutes to complete the survey.

Thanks for your help in maintaining data on broadband access in the state of Michigan.

Message-ID: <24068F6A863C40AAA2DEA4AAED55AD8D@deweyPC>

Michigan Libraries -
Benzonia Public Library has older Michigan history books available to other libraries for free (MeL Delivery or you pay postage).

The list is attached.

Please reply off list to me, Helen Dewey, rhdewey at charter.net, if you want any of these books.

The library was started in 1925 in the historic Mills Community House.  These books were in the early collection (Mills Community House Library), and they have been stored in the library?s Michigan Room for many years.  Now we are renovating the Michigan Room and don?t have the space to continue to keep them.   We would like them to find good homes where they will be appreciated.  (The Board would love having our little library acknowledged if you accept the books.)

Message-ID: <009501d02aae$186ae880$4940b980$@cityofeatonrapids.com>

I recently became the director of a small city library and one of the
projects I inherited was updating the city's code of ordinances. The problem
is I am coming from a district library background and have no experience in
this. The last time the Library ordinance was updated was in 1974 so my
guess is that it will need some revamping, but that's about as much as I am
willing to say at this point.

 

Can anyone help me with this or provide me with their own city ordinances as
an example?

 

 

Thank you!

Message-ID: <8EE24ACF5C2B5945AF776E39181A0095492ED40D@EXCH.wb.local>

Hello,

Have any of you done a Couch to 5K program at your library? An actual full-length weekly training, not just a one night informational session? I'm thinking of something along the lines of having a local guru lead the program with weekly runs from the library, culminating in (optional) participation in a local 5k race. If you have done anything like this please let me know how it went, what hiccups you encountered, participation, etc.

Thanks.

Have a wonderful day,
Nyama

We've had a wonderful 10th year for the Michigan Reads program. Our book was Acoustic Rooster and His Barnyard Band and we hosted both the author, Kwame Alexander, and the illustrator, Tim Bowers, on a tour of Michigan schools and libraries. As we are reviewing the survey results and thinking about what book to select for 2015, please contact me if you have a book suggestion. The author should be able to do a tour and preferably be from the Great Lakes area. The book should be appropriate for preschoolers to 2nd grade.

I have attached the final report for your information. Thank you for your participation!

I could not be online this morning, but I wanted to say happy birthday to MeLCat, our state?s statewide catalog and resource sharing system.  It is hard to believe it has been ten years since we went live!  It took a lot of talking with vendors, surveying library staff, surveying the public, learning from pilot projects, looking at other states, crafting specifications, evaluating responses, negotiating a contract, and figuring out statewide delivery before we could finally implement the system.  I am proud of our collaboration and sharing, and hope to see it grow even more in the future.  We are stronger when we work together ;-)  Stay warm everybody!  -Sheryl Mase

>From the IRS this afternoon, finally.  Please note there will be no instructions in the package.
TFOP Filing Season Update While we had committed to waiting until next year to making changes to the Tax Forms Outlet Program, the situation has changed.  As you may be aware, IRS appropriations were significantly cut in the 2015 Omnibus Appropriations bill recently passed by Congress.  Unfortunately this puts us in a position where we have very few options.  We want to honor our commitment to you by providing some key products, but we cannot deliver nearly what we have in the past. For this filing season, we will offer the following products:Forms 1040, 1040A and 1040EZPublication 17, one reference copy for each participant (Taxpayers will be able to access Publication 17 in English and Spanish online from irs.gov/Pub17 and, new this year, it will also be available as a free e-Pub for downloading from IRS.gov and viewing on most e-Readers and other mobile devices.)Publication 4604 (EN/SP), Use the Web for IRS Tax Products & InformationPublication 1132, Reproducible Copies of Federal Tax Forms and InstructionsThe TFOP Poster Package which includes:o  Publication 1169, Need Tax Help?o  Publication 1258, Where Should I Send This?o  Publication 1309, Tax Forms This Way Publicationo  Publication 1725, If The Form Fits...Use It! No additional products will be available through the TFOP Program. We will not be sending Form 8635-S, Supplement to Form 8635. We will fill orders for Forms 1040 and 1040A with the quantities you requested on your order form earlier this year.  Because Form 1040EZ was not on this year's order form, we will send you 75% of your Form 1040 A order quantity. For example, if you ordered 3000 Form 1040 A, we will send you 2250 Form 1040EZ.  It is not necessary for you to place an order for Form 1040EZ; we will automatically ship Form 1040EZ to you once the form becomes available. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer Instructions for Forms 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ. Your patrons can obtain copies of Instructions through:IRS.gov/Forms - to view and downloadIRS.gov/orderforms - to order tax products to be delivered by mail1-800-829-3676 - to order tax products to be delivered by mailThe decision to reduce the number of tax products available to our TFOP partners was not made lightly.  We realize this decision is not ideal and we understand it may impact you and your customers. Please offer Publication 4604 (EN/SP) to your patrons to help guide them to tax products and information available on IRS.gov. We apologize for these late program changes.

Do we know when the IRS will start mailing forms to taxpayers?

Do we know if they are mailing instruction books to taxpayers?

Do we know when they will start shipping to TFOPs?

Will the IRS accept quantity requests from TFOP participants at the regular
phone number?

Will the IRS have extra operators on the phones to accommodate the demand
or will patrons get a perpetual busy signal?

>From a survey done a few years ago, most libraries charged regular copy
fees for tax forms, instructions, and publications. If you charge, will
your library change this policy? How?

Will your library print quantities of forms eg Schedule A, B, C, D, 2441,
2106, etc. and put them out for free?

If this is going to be the norm, I don't see my library continuing in the
program. Anyone else feel this way?

I've already updated my bookmark for getting forms we don't carry to
include our Congressional contacts. I don't see any reason for us to take
the heat for this.

> Hi,

If you're looking for a very interesting and different program to host, I
recommend Kim Johnson (Kim the Piper).  She performed today here at the
Royal Oak Public Library.

 Not only does she entertain the audience with bagpipes, the session was
very educational with demonstrations of 3 different types of bagpipes,
historical facts and a thorough description of the kilts/costumes, and she
even taught a Scottish dance at the end.


I have cc'd her on this email if you'd like to contact her.  If you have
any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Message-ID: <COL131-W5266483093D65EF810AE0BCE420@phx.gbl>

Hello, all.

What do you all use for covering your paperbacks? The
 staff at my new library is using packing tape! I'm not sure what is the
 best type of film to use, or where is the cheapest place to purchase.

On
 the accounting front... we recently became a district library and are 
in the process of getting all of our finances set up. I was told several
 years ago that we should use the uniform chart of accounts from the 
state when doing our budgets and accounting. Is this a requirement for 
us as a "government entity?"  If it isn't, what system do you use? If it
 is, or even if it isn't but you use it anyway, would you be willing to 
share your budget (minus the amounts) with me so that I can copy it?

Thanks in advance for your answers! If you can reply to me off-list, I would greatly appreciate it.

Helena

I haven?t done this in Hart very successfully.  I think you?re on track with the impetus coming from the patrons.  I worked in the AV department of a large library in Indiana and we did this many times- patrons tended to leave after the movie. Only a few would stay around for the discussion.  It  was important to be prepared with questions and not to  take a break between movie and discussion group.  I lost more people that way. I?m sure there?s a way to do this well.   My experience has been spotty at best.

Good luck!

I wanted to pass on a few words of thanks to all the public libraries that became demonstration sites for the Braille and Talking Book Library (BTBL) in 2014. We currently have 35 locations signed up with us and are adding more every week! If your library location is interested in becoming a demo site, please feel free to email me back off-list.

For those of you unfamiliar with our free service, BTBL offers audio books, magazines, and braille titles to Michigan residents with visual or physical disabilities that are unable to utilize standard print materials. Demo sites are issued a digital talking book machine, a book on cartridge, and promotional materials to display at the discretion of each location. For more information about this program, view our webinar at: http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_63014-301245--,00.html

Each location varies in the way they promote our service, but all the efforts are very much appreciated! A special thanks to Grosse Pointe Public Library for sending me a picture of their display case highlighting the BTBL service (photo attached: it shows a decorated display case with our equipment inside and flyers hanging up explaining the service). Thank you GPPL!

Rebecca, I recommend you look at the Crim Foundation's Commit to Fit program. Not sure if they extend this outside our Flint area, but I'll bet they do. You can form " teams" and participate as a group. Your library community could be a team...or you can take their ideas to help,shape a program there in Brandon Twp...

Registration: http://webjunction.org/events/webjunction/staying-afloat-sea-of-change.html

Our libraries and communities are experiencing the constant motion of changes in technology, demographics and services. The sensation of being afloat in an unpredictable environment can be thrilling as we contemplate the many new possibilities but also a bit scary because of the many unknowns. Join seasoned change manager Debra Westwood for a walk through the process of change to help us recognize our physiological and emotional responses to change and determine how our current skills and experience can fit into new ways of working. All of us, as library staff members, can get beyond just surviving change and learn to embrace and thrive in new environments.

Presented by: Debra Westwood, Library Cluster Manager, Bellevue, Lake Hills & Crossroads Libraries, King County Library System (WA)

Access to reliable consumer health information is an essential component of individual and community well-being.

In this WebJunction webinar, participants will explore essential pathways for libraries to address meaningful health information and services. Participants will be introduced to foundational considerations for ensuring ethics and privacy in patron interactions, maintaining health collections at the public library, addressing community health literacy, and supporting healthy communities through partnerships. Participants will also be introduced to resources to advance these topics in their community, and leave the session prepared to join the strong network of public libraries advancing health education nationwide.

February Webinars:
Project Management 101 (two part series)
Join your colleagues from archives, libraries and museums for a two-part, interactive learning webinar that will introduce the fundamentals of project management: planning a project. All of our fields struggle with unstable budgets and dynamic technology, so learning to think and act in terms of projects is critical?it can be the difference between turning an idea into a successful, resourced initiative or not. Led by representatives from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the webinars will focus on the key elements of a project plan: the idea, the audiences, funding options, a work plan, an evaluation, and more. We will also discuss how to critically examine your project ideas, asking, Is it fundable? Valuable? Sustainable? And if not, what could you do differently? While learning these fundamentals, you will also benefit from the insights and experiences shared by your fellow participants from across archives, library, and museum institutions.

?         Why project management is a critical skill
?         What it takes to turn an idea into a fundable project
?         Where to learn more about project management
?         How to evaluate staff and institutional capacities to manage a project
Who Should Attend
This topic is relevant to all organizational roles: you may be currently managing or soon will be managing a project, or you may be a contributor to a current or future project.
Presenters and Moderators

Registration: http://webjunction.org/events/webjunction/key-elements-of-a-project-plan.html
This session will describe how careful planning leads to more successful projects. We will cover how to develop an idea, define your audience, look at funding options, do an environmental scan, assess your resource capacity and needs, and develop a project scope and schedule for implementation. Attendees will be invited to use the two weeks between webinars to outline a project idea based on these key principles. Submitted project plans will be reviewed by webinar moderators with individual feedback provided for each submission.
Evaluating Your Project Plan (Part Two)

I was wondering how many libraries use Game Boards instead of or with the
Reading Logs. If you do use a game board and have a copy would you be so
kind to send me one?

Hello Everyone, If you are larger than a class 4 library you can disregard this e-mail.



For everyone else, we have been trying to form a district library using school district boundaries for some time now. This has been met with much opposition from certain township supervisors and now that that law has sunset we are trying a different approach. The Big Rapids Community Library is going to try to make a district library between individual townships and the city. As our city attorney is doing the work on the agreements he is trolling for examples of libraries that are similar to our own.



I am looking for sample agreements from any district library that has at least one city and one township as members or parties, and is located in a county with a population under 75,000.  Preferably if I could have sample agreements that were adopted or formed after the year 2000, and maybe a couple that were formed within the last five years I would greatly appreciate it.


                I know that several libraries recently created districts, if you are one of those libraries and have a city and township involved in your agreement, I would greatly appreciate a copy or sample of your new agreement.
Thank you in advance for any help!

I think a new bill is supposed to be introduced to address that sunset on
forming a district library with a school district. You may want to check
with the Michigan Library Association and Rep Adam Zemke.

you billed annually? If you are a township, city, or county library are you
insured through the municipality or have your own coverage?   Thank you in

Rebecca -?
My library in Jackson County, WV did a "Biggest Loser" program with our local Health Department. ?They provided most of the programs and we provided the promotion, space, and people. ?It was great! ?They had speakers in to talk about healthy eating, etc. - including a few focused specifically for diabetes and other similar diseases. ?We lined up agreements with local exercise/healthy living organizations - health clubs, the Y, etc. - for groups of people to try out their classes on specific nights. ?For example, people could sign up at the library for a line dancing class on a specific night. ?It was counted as a library program, but took place at the Y.
People "weighed in" at the beginning and on regular "weigh in" dates, and the person who lost the most won a prize. ?There were other prizes, too. ?And the total lost by all the participants was posted. ?It was impressive - over 500 pounds lost in six weeks by about 187 participants.
One of the things we did was a "Story Walk" for people to read and walk at the same time, and we did a lot of promoting of our audio e-books and playaways.
Let us know how it goes!

Greetings,

While there has been a lot of communication urging libraries to file the Form 471 early I would like to pass on that EdTech Strategies, the contractor paid by the Library of Michigan to provide expert E-Rate assistance through the co-op directors, is recommending:

For today, my best advice would be to urge your libraries to wait a bit before trying to submit applications.

Testing that took place on Monday proved frustrating and we are hoping for changes to be made to the form even at this point. In addition, SLD will likely issue some tips, guidance and so forth to help with the current form.

While it will be important to get started early, waiting a week or two might help in terms of either fixes or guidance that might help to reduce some of the issues that are likely to occur when trying to complete the form.

Hello,

It is painfully difficult to watch a loved one decline as dementia 
ravages their mind, destroying memories, rational thinking and judgment. 
  In her touching memoir, I Will Never Forget: A Daughter?s Story of Her 
Mother?s Arduous and Humorous Journey through Dementia, Elaine Pereira 
shares the heartbreaking and humorous story of her mother?s experience.

Elaine will be with us on Thursday, February 26 at 6:00 to offer her 
insights gained through personal experience.  Books will be available 
for sale and signing.

I am attaching our flyer for the event in case you would like to print 
some for your patrons.  All are welcome!

If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me 
know.

Thank you.

The Shelby Township Library has now hosted two programs by Chef Jake
Williams. The first was "The Art and Science of Cooking" which we held last
summer as part of our Summer Reading series for adults.Chef Jake presented
a detailed fascinating program with lots of group participation about how
food flavors and cooking techniques work together.
He was here again, this time presenting "Better Eating in the New Year"
which was also well received. As it is the time of year of recovery from
December's indulgences, he focused on integrating more healthy foods into
our diets. He brings his own pots, pans, and gas burners so he can cook
right in the library which enhanced the program.

Chef Jake has 20 years in the cooking industry. He currently works for
Gleaners Food Bank as the Cooking Matters Coordinator, helping low-income
families learn to cook healthy food for little money. He also does catering
and runs a pop-up restaurant in the Detroit Area.
He is both knowledgeable and personable. He is open to doing more
presentations in libraries.

*The library is not, as some would have it, a place for the retiring of
disposition or faint of heart. It is not an ivory tower or a quiet room in
a sanitarium facing away from the afternoon sun. It is, rather, a command
center, a power base. A board room, a war room. An Oval Office for all who
preside over their own destinies. One does not retreat from the world here;
one prepares to join it at an advantage.? ? Eric Burns, The Joy of Books:

Message-ID: <CAPYzbXgWZhHmt5OiX3hVRmwK0uZnqDcZ_Pa=pBjd4xc99Z9rOg@mail.gmail.com>

I need some advice on fire alarm and security panels.  Our panels are 22
years old and it appears we need to update them.


   -          Have any of you had experience with wireless security in a
   large public building?
   -         Do you have separate monitoring services for HVAC, fire and
   water?
   -         Is you system directly wired from pull station or smoke
   detector to the alarm system or do you     use hubs?

I?d like to talk with someone who may have recently gone through this type
of upgrade.  I?d like to talk with a facility manager or other person that
might have experience in this area.  Feel free to forward my message to
anyone that might be willing to talk with me

Hello all,

Who besides me remembers the corner newspaper stand where one could find daily (sometimes twice daily) newspapers from the immediate vicinity as well as national and even international publications?  Wasn't it fun and enlightening to get a different perspective on important events and people from these resources?  Well, the good 'ole days aren't completely gone thanks to the MeL Database<http://mel.org/Databases> InfoTrac Newsstand<http://go.galegroup.com/ps/start.do?p=STND&u=lom_accessmich>.  Over 1,100 publications in various formats and languages are included with coverage variously ranging from 1980 to the present.  Search results can be narrowed by publication title, date, section, (Business, Opinion and Editorial, Lifestyle, etc.), even Lexile Score, and more. Investor's Business Daily, The Guardian, Christian Science Monitor, Toronto Star, and El Norte are some of the titles included.  Keep InfoTrac Newsstand<http://go.galegroup.com/ps/start.do?p=STND&u=lom_accessmich> in mind the next time you and your patrons are looking for the world view as covered in the press.  Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.

MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan.  Want more information on MeL?

Subject: [Michlib-l] Health Insurance Benefit Question
Message-ID: <CAC+6JUtfxKhkmLfZfOLXNfRDW4mGHjRWc4BXzwv1XoGZX8wR7g@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

We have been looking into the possibility of switching from a group
insurance plan to instead giving our insured employee (there is only one) a
stipend to use toward health insurance. I know there would be legal issues
with doing this pre-tax, but does anyone know if there is anything wrong
with the idea if income tax is paid on the stipend?

We currently have BCBS in a "group of one" plan, which frankly is not a
great deal nor a great plan. If our employee instead purchased insurance
privately on the Marketplace he could get a Gold Plan with Dental for what
we currently pay for his Bronze Plan (w/out dental). So I would appreciate
hearing anyone's thoughts on, or experience with such a stipend/allowance.

Regards,

We're thinking about implementing the BedTime Math program this summer at our library. It looks like a lot of fun and a worthwhile investment of our time (one of our Associates taught elementary math in the past, tho all of our Youth staff are pretty excited). I was hoping to hear responses from other libraries who've tried it, specifically how you treated the 8 week timetable and getting kids to come to each one. It doesn't sound like every week builds on the next, though many do. How much of an issue is it if kids miss 1 week? I was also curious to hear if any libraries implement this during the school year and how often.

Please feel free to respond to me off list. Thank you in advance for your time,

Do you have a "Local Author" collection, or how do you handle books by local authors?
What are your policies on donations vs purchase, reviewed or not reviewed?
Do you separate, or integrate (but mark in some way with a special spine label)?
How do you define local? By your city? County? Region? Or State?
Do they need to be currently residing, or are "formerly but originally a resident of" ok?

Good Morning Everyone,

 

My library board is interested in looking at policies for supplemental sick
leave banks (which employees can contribute sick leave hours to when they
have maxed out their sick time or as they wish to). Does anyone currently
offer such a sick leave bank and can you send me your policy/procedure of
how it is implemented? 

I know when I was at Kent District Library they did have one - not sure if
it is still in existence? 

 

Thanks!

Hi Shirley!

I'm not sure who told them that their cards expire, but no, they do not have to renew. The program is ongoing. We update the list of participants quarterly and if your library wants to stay on, then you don't have to do anything.

They are partnering with the Collaborative Summer Library Program (aka Summer Reading) and we have a webinar on using the program that Bed Time Math did for us last year on the Library of Michigan web site. It is in the 2014 recordings section (down the page a bit) in the Summer Reading section at http://www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices.<http://www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices>

If anyone happens to be going to ALA Midwinter, BedTime Math will be one of the exhibitors.  I will be going and plan to stop by their booth.  Personally, and from what I can tell so far, I think their program is a good way for libraries to contributing to the STEM effort in K-12.

We're thinking about implementing the BedTime Math program this summer at our library. It looks like a lot of fun and a worthwhile investment of our time (one of our Associates taught elementary math in the past, tho all of our Youth staff are pretty excited). I was hoping to hear responses from other libraries who've tried it, specifically how you treated the 8 week timetable and getting kids to come to each one. It doesn't sound like every week builds on the next, though many do. How much of an issue is it if kids miss 1 week? I was also curious to hear if any libraries implement this during the school year and how often.

Please feel free to respond to me off list. Thank you in advance for your time,

Andy

Hello all,

We are looking to change how we handle our DVD cases and displaying them. We currently have all our DVDs in their cases behind the circulation desk and sleeves with a DVD case sleeve out in a display. We are looking to put out the cases minus the DVD and have the DVD's behind the desk in some sort of individual sleeves. Does anyone handle their DVD's similarly? Could you offer some recommendations of cases/sleeves that you use? Or how you handle the display in general?

Thanks,

Mary Cornell

 Library Patrons!

All,

When your library patrons think of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) http://michiganactivitypass.info program, what comes to mind? Spending a day at one of the nation's premier art museums http://www.dia.org/ perhaps. Or taking in a show at http://www.stagecrafters.org/ Or going for a ride (when there isn't snow covering the tracks, as is the case today) on http://www.southernmichiganrailroad.com/ There are 112 cultural partners in the MAP program, located in every corner of the state from Monroe to Mackinaw City to Marquette (and beyond). Many of our current venues involve indoor activities.

What about outdoor activities? Year round outdoor activities? And not just between Memorial Day and Labor Day! Well, soon we will have your library patrons covered there, too! Today I am proud, pleased, and yes, excited even, to announce that, effective May 24, 2015, thanks to our new partnership with Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Michigan Recreation and Park Association, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, as well as with our continuing partners Institute of Museum and Library Services, Library of Michigan, and Plymouth Rocket, the Michigan Activity Pass program administered by The Library Network (TLN) will expand to include all state parks and state recreation areas that in previous years have been included in the DNR administered and BCBSM and MRPA sponsored Park and Read/Mi Big Green Gym program. Yes, beginning May 24, 2015 your library patrons will be able to access online via the MAP software, passes to state parks and recreation areas from http://www.michigandnr.com/parksandtrails/details.aspx?id=497&type=SPRK to http://www.dnr.state.mi.us/parksandtrails/Details.aspx?id=426&type=SPRK and all points in between. This will effectively double the number of participating venues in the MAP program! And the media contacts and promotional activities that our new partners can bring to the table will result in publicity for the newly expanded MAP program the likes of which we've never been able to achieve before.

On December 28, 2014 we reported that the number of MAP passes circulated in the first seven months of current MAP Year 2, had already exceeded the total number of MAP passes circulated in the full 12 months of MAP Year 1. The new MAP will launch May 24, 2015. The inclusion of state parks and recreation areas, combined with the publicity and promotional activities by our new partners, means that the sky is the limit for MAP Year 3.

We will share additional details regarding this expansion of MAP to include the Park and Read/Mi Big Green Gym program, in the upcoming weeks and months. In the meantime, on account this is the biggest thing to happen regarding statewide MAP since, well, statewide MAP, please feel free to start spreading the word: Beginning May 24, 2015, MAP + Park and Read/Mi Big Green Gym=Big Outdoor and Indoor Fun for Michigan Public Library Patrons!

Thank you for your support and promotion of the (soon to be expanded, bigger and better than ever) Michigan Activity Pass program.

Sincerely,

Jim Flury

All,

Imagine how excited we were this morning to see MAP featured on the Under The Radar: Michigan Facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/UTRMichigan It isn't every day that we get time for MAP on a FB page that has nearly 46,000 likes. Truth be told, I don't think we ever get play for MAP on a FB page with nearly 46,000 likes! And as of the time of this writing, our MAP post has 146 likes of its own. Thank you to Tom Daldin at UTR: Michigan, our new MAP partner. I can't wait to tell Tom about our effective May 24, 2015 expanded MAP program, which will include the Park and Read/Mi Big Green Gym program http://www.mrpaonline.org/Programs/MI-Big-Green-Gym#.VL6OKi6VlCA I've already sent a "teaser" to our reporter contact at the Detroit Free Press, and she replied right away "when can I call you about this?" Cool for MAP!

Speaking of Under the Radar: Michigan, just a friendly reminder of our discounted bulk order offer for the book and/or four dvd set. The response from libraries has been great, and I have a thick stack of "please order the book and dvd set for my library" printouts on my desk. Let's see if we can make that already thick pile of replies even thicker, prior to the February 13 order deadline.

Thanks.

Jim

Subject: Under the Radar Michigan Book and DVD Bulk Purchase Opportunity and New MAP Partnership, Too!

All,

I am pleased to announce that TLN has entered into a new partnership with Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman of the Emmy Award winning PBS show Under The Radar Michigan and Scribe Publishing Company http://utrmichigan.com/ They probably need no introduction to the Michigan library community, but here is what the director of one TLN library had to say about UTR:

"We hosted the Under the Radar guys and it was fabulous. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman from UTR accomplished something that doesn't happen often: they made us laugh over and over * and * reminded us how great Michiganders are. UTR isn't about "the best of the best" it's about the unique towns, festivals and travel opportunities there are in our state. It really boils down to the people behind these destinations. The coolest thing is that Tom and Jim are a Michigan success story themselves. They both found themselves out of work during the recession. They knew each other as fellow media professionals, so they put their heads together and started pitching ideas to PBS. Their book sales were brisk (we're hoping there can be a group discounted buy, maybe, for public libraries in Michigan?). At least four of our guests (full-house) said it was the best program they'd ever attended! Don't you want to have them, too?"

As part of our partnership Tom and Jim are offering Michigan libraries a discounted purchase opportunity for their book Under the Radar: Michigan http://scribe-publishing-company.myshopify.com/products/utr as well as the four dvd set of their show. Michigan libraries can purchase the book for just $16.00. List price is $24.95. Michigan libraries can purchase the complete four dvd set of the show for just $90.00. List price is $120.00. TLN will place one consolidated order, ship to your library, pay the vendor invoice, then bill your library. 

Please email your order(s) for the book and/or dvd set to me by no later than Friday, February 13. In order to facilitate the distribution process here, we ask that non-TLN libraries also include their RIDES delivery number with their order.

The other aspect of this new partnership concerns promotion by UTR of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program. Both Tom and Jim are media professionals. Their UTR Facebook https://www.facebook.com/UTRMichigan page has in excess of 45,000 likes. Their willingness to include MAP in their social media presence will be a huge boost to the promotional aspect of the program. To wit, here is what UTR has agreed to do, promotion-wise, with and for the MAP program:

** Support MAP communication efforts via their Social Media world
** Include a minimum of 1 post per month profiling events, press, news, etc that are part of MAP communication efforts
** Provide MAP with an ad presence for one year on the utrmichigan.com (Size: 90x120)
** UTR will include MAP events or news in its monthly newsletter, once per quarter.

That is a lot of promotion, and it sounds like a lot of work, too! I think libraries are getting the easier end of the deal here :)

Again, please send your orders for the UTR: Michigan book and/or four dvd set to my attention by no later than Friday, February 13. And don't forget to include that RIDES delivery number!

Thanks.

Jim

Hello,

 

Our new building is coming along nicely, and furnishings are coming
together.

 

We will need more bookends when it is complete.  Does anyone have extra
bookends that need  a home?  We could use a few hundred or so.

 

Thanks!

Hi All-well, yes indeed-there are now non-fiction ebooks available in SIRS Discoverer in MeL:  http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-proq.php?database=SIRSDISC

Trish,

I do not have an RFP but have a couple of vendors to whom you should send it -

Knight Technology Group is our outside network engineering firm and, though a small company, Ken and his assistants are excellent and extremely well qualified, install lots and lots of servers and networks so they know the latest and newest info and requirements - have been virtualizing our system gradually over the last year and are almost done. We didn't do an RFP because we work with them regularly so just engaged them to do this extra work for us. ( I think they work with Christine Hage also)

Ken Rutyna
Knight Technology Group http://www.ktg-corp.com/
They are based in Royal Oak but can work anywhere up and down I-75 easily. FPL has worked with them for 10+ years.

Another great tech company - if anything happened to Knight, I'd be working with them - they already do our Erate and have done for 5+ years:
John Foster

Subject: [Michlib-l] Looking for a musical
Message-ID: <CAAcKhmJ5PwqmQqK5gOeGdtaA-ZugusuiXcYKcGyysYLh6-AV+A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I had a younger patron come in yesterday looking for a musical she saw in a
choir class last year, but she can't remember the title.

Here's what she remembers:

The main character commits a crime and has to stay out of the city - he
goes somewhere to hide - she thinks it's Virginia.

She also remembers a scene with a group of women shopping for fabric to
make a dress (maybe a wedding dress) and the women make fun of the person
making the dress - she remembers them calling her chicken legs.

She also said the musical was really old, but she also said another movie
from 2006 was really old (she's 12) so take that part with a grain of salt.

Does anyone know this musical?

Thanks!

Tracy

All,

Please see the link to the attached article in yesterday's Detroit Free Press. Perhaps someone on the west side of the state can reach out to Mr. Martin, to tell him about the publicity the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program http://michiganactivitypass.info would bring to his museum. And it is only going to get better starting May 24, 2015 when the expansion of MAP to encompass the Park and Read program http://www.mrpaonline.org/Programs/MI-Big-Green-Gym#.VMDqLS6VlCA will take place. Our new partnership with the DNR and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will result in media opportunities for MAP that have not been available to us in the past.

As with the Galesburg Historical Museum, please feel free to reach out to any and all cultural venues in your communities that you feel would make good partners with MAP. Talk up the program, and/or send your potential contacts my way.

Hi all,

I had a younger patron come in yesterday looking for a musical she saw in a
choir class last year, but she can't remember the title.

Here's what she remembers:

The main character commits a crime and has to stay out of the city - he
goes somewhere to hide - she thinks it's Virginia.

She also remembers a scene with a group of women shopping for fabric to
make a dress (maybe a wedding dress) and the women make fun of the person
making the dress - she remembers them calling her chicken legs.

She also said the musical was really old, but she also said another movie
from 2006 was really old (she's 12) so take that part with a grain of salt.

Does anyone know this musical?

Thanks!

Tracy

Thanks to everyone who responded re: my question about BedTime Math. I've compiled the results below.

BedTime Math no longer allows the program to be run during the summer months since much of the program is cumulative and there were a lot of absences with vacations, etc. We are going to begin hosting ours in the fall. Best,

If anyone happens to be going to ALA Midwinter, BedTime Math will be one of the exhibitors.  I will be going and plan to stop by their booth.  Personally, and from what I can tell so far, I think their program is a good way for libraries to contributing to the STEM effort in K-12.

Andy,



We are trying the Crazy 8 program from BedTime Math this summer.  I have the materials and I am impressed with what I see.  I don't know how it will go over mainly because of the 8 week requirement.  I expect kids to miss one or two over the 8 week period due to vacations.  Because of the possible absence of kids each week it seems good that each lesson is independent of the others.



I did notice that the Crazy 8 program is now asking for the program to be scheduled during the school year and NOT over the summer.  I applied last year so they sent me the materials but I don't know if they will still allow a summer program.

They are partnering with the Collaborative Summer Library Program (aka Summer Reading) and we have a webinar on using the program that Bed Time Math did for us last year on the Library of Michigan web site. It is in the 2014 recordings section (down the page a bit) in the Summer Reading section at http://www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices.<http://www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices>

Message-ID: <DM2PR09MB05738FB2D33B410B8C99AF59C0490@DM2PR09MB0573.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Hello all,

Some of the highest in-demand professions today are in the health care field.  As enrollments increase and students of all ages pursue certifications as well as degrees, the need for reliable and readily accessible resources and learning tools increases.  In the MeL.org Health Gateway<http://mel.org/index.php?P=MeLGateways&ParentId=842>, several databases offer full text and peer-reviewed articles as well as content geared towards patient interests.  Health and Wellness Resource Center<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-gale.php?database=HWRC> includes journals, pamphlets, videos, and links to reputable health websites.  A dictionary, health assessment tools, and a drugs and herbs search are available.  Health Reference Center Academic<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-gale.php?database=HRCA>  provides access to nursing journals and personal health sources.  Clinical reports and case studies are included.  It certainly is in our own best interest to ensure that health professions students have access to quality materials since they may well be our caregivers in the future!  Material contained in these resources is intended for informational purposes only.  Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.

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<mailto:contact at mel.org> or visit mel.org<http://mel.org/>.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Michigan Activity Pass: 11 Great New Opportunities For
	Family Fun!
In-Reply-To: <1443869820.8140188.1421436447928.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>
Message-ID: <466298480.8717610.1422025547504.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>

All,

In last Friday's totally over the top MAP message I made note of the fact that when we had additional details to share regarding the expansion of the program, we would share them. Well, it's Friday, so that means it's time for yet another over the top MAP message. Today's exciting news concerns our announcement of commitments by 11 new venues to participate in the combined MAP/Mi Big Green Gym program. These 11 destinations span the state from Concord to Copper Harbor. You can't get more "statewide" than that! All are great, family-friendly places to visit, and I know libraries will be proud to talk that fact up to patrons.

Drum roll, please:

Mann House Historic Site http://www.michigan.gov/mhc/0,4726,7-282-61080_62659---,00.html
Walker Tavern Historic Site http://www.michigan.gov/mhc/0,4726,7-282-61080_61873---,00.html
Sanilac Petroglyphs Historic Site http://www.michigan.gov/mhc/0,4726,7-282-61080_62660---,00.html
Tawas Point Lighthouse http://www.michigan.gov/mhc/0,4726,7-282-61080_62661---,00.html
Civilian Conservation Corps Museum http://www.michigan.gov/mhc/0,4726,7-282-61080_62652---,00.html
Hartwick Pines Logging Museum http://www.michigan.gov/mhc/0,4726,7-282-61080_62657---,00.html
Father Marquette National Memorial http://www.michigan.gov/mhc/0,4726,7-282-61080_62653---,00.html
Fayette Historic Townsite http://www.michigan.gov/mhc/0,4726,7-282-61080_62654---,00.html
Michigan Iron Industry Museum http://www.michigan.gov/mhc/0,4726,7-282-61080_62658---,00.html
Fort Wilkins and Copper Harbor Lighthouse http://www.michigan.gov/mhc/0,4726,7-282-61080_62655---,00.html
Michigan Historical Museum http://www.michigan.gov/mhc/0,4726,7-282-61080_62766---,00.html

The above 11 venues, along with several hundred others, will join the MAP program starting May 24, or in the case of some of them when the snow melts (my family is originally from the Keweenaw so I am well acquainted with the climate in Copper Harbor), whichever comes first.

Of course you will want your library to have the ability to offer passes to these great venues to your patrons, starting May 24.  All you need to do is to include a link to the MAP website http://michiganactivitypass.info on your library's website.  The beauty of it is, the patrons do all of the work, and you can take all of the credit!

We are working with our partners to develop new promotional materials for the expanded MAP program. In the meantime if you'd like to become more acquainted with what the current MAP program is all about, here's a link to a site with all kinds of promotional material, ie bookmarks, a brochure, posters, etc. Please note that this material will be updated prior to the May 24 launch of the new, expanded MAP program: 

http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/

Finally, and I mention this on account I get this question quite frequently: 

"What does my library need to do to 'sign up' for the MAP program?

Nothing! By virtue of your being a public library in the state of Michigan, I have 'auto-enrolled' your library in MAP. All you need to do to 'sign up' is to include the http://michiganactivitypass.info link on your library's homepage. And of course, promote the program :)

Please help get the word out to your patrons and local media contacts, regarding the soon to be expanded MAP program.

We appreciate your support for and promotion of, the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Sincerely,

Jim Flury

Good afternoon:   My library board chair recently asked me why I do not
have a contract with the library. Dawn and I then had a conversation about
the benefits of a contract vs. no contract. I thought I would ask my fellow
librarians their thoughts on the matter. What do you feel the benefits are
to having a contract over not having one? If you have a contract what
information is included in it?   Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Dear Collective Mind,

We are looking at Braille labelers and tape to put on our audio book
collection for our visually challenged patrons.  I was wondering if anyone
had some experience with using any of these products and if so, what would
you recommend for ease of use, longevity of wear, price, etc.

Thank you,

Good afternoon all,

I've had a couple of patrons asking if there are any libraries that offer
typewriters for public use. Most seem to be patrons who are not computer
literate who are hoping to use them to do their taxes.

Are their any libraries in the Metro Detroit area that offer this service?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Message-ID: <54C403DD.20107@lois-sez.com>

I hope people don't mind my sending this to the list.  Library users of 
internet services (to say nothing of library budgets) would be horribly 
affected if Net Neutrality is blocked.  I just took action once again to 
try and keep the FCC chairman from ignoring public outcry from all but 
the big money pushing for subscriptions to faster access.  He came to 
his position after being a lobbyist for them, but even the president who 
appointed him is talking up Net Neutrality.  With all the effort to show 
support for Net Neutrality, perhaps it would be reasonable to urge 
library users of internet services to sign an online petition to the 
Federal Communications Commission to protect our access to fast and 
affordable Internet service.

If you think so, too, it's:

	Hartford Public Libray, Closes in One Week-Feb. 1!
Message-ID: <007a01d03913$4ea8edc0$ebfac940$@gossagesager.com>

Hartford Public Library (CT)-Chief Youth & Family Services Officer

 

A place like no other - the Hartford Public Library <http://www.hplct.org/>
- seeks a Chief Youth & Family Services Officer like no other to be a vital
dynamic part of the Library?s leadership team. This new leader will be a key
Library partner working with City agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the
Hartford Public Schools setting the vision for the future for Hartford?s
children and young adults. The successful candidate will be
customer-focused, forward-thinking, and collaborative with both internal and
external customers. The Chief Youth & Family Services Officer will also be
knowledgeable about current youth and family issues, will understand cutting
edge youth services and technology trends, be committed to literacy for all
ages, and facilitate the fusion of traditional and nontraditional library
services for youth and families. Creativity and innovation are part of the
complete package and a joy for working in a large, diverse, urban
environment is crucial.  Ongoing programs include YOUmedia Hartford and the
YOUmedia Makers Space, the Library?s Great Summer Read, the Center for Civic
Engagement, ARTWalk, the award-winning American Place, CTWorks at HPL, The
Kitchen at Hartford Public Library, the Hartford History Center, and One
Book, One Hartford.  A 2002 IMLS National Service Medal winner, the Library
was also a finalist for the medal in both 2013 and 2014.  Hartford Public
Library serves 124,775 residents with ten facilities and a $9.6 million
annual budget. In FY14, the library staff (98FTE) hosted 833,000 visits and
circulated nearly 500,000 items.

Hartford <http://www.hartford.gov/> , the capital of Connecticut, is the
fourth largest Connecticut City and home to the nation?s oldest public art
museum, the oldest public park, and the birthplace of the Boys and Girls
Club.  Hartford also was home to Caroline Hewins, the Library?s first chief
librarian, who was a national leader in the early 20th century for creating
services for children in the public library.  The City is proud of its
innovative iQuilt project, a culture based urban design plan for Downtown
Hartford-a compact historic district with more than 45 cultural assets and
destinations (including the Library)-accessible through a pedestrian
network. Its centerpiece is the GreenWalk, a one mile chain of parks and
plazas connecting the Capitol to the Connecticut River waterfront. The
City?s goals include a more walkable, sustainable and welcoming downtown, an
improved cultural network, and a stronger economy and workforce. Hartford is
a city of neighborhoods and housing choices range from a loft to a Victorian
home to a starter home.  For additional information on the Library and the
City, see Hartford Has It! <http://www.gossagesager.com/Hartfordlinks.htm> 

Responsibilities. The Chief Youth & Family Services Officer is responsible
for the successful delivery of services and programs to families, children
and young adults through cooperative and collaborative external
partnerships; designs and executes the strategic initiatives to address
needs; coordinates collection development and selects materials for
purchase; and ensures effective communication with other departments and
partners. Reporting to the chief executive officer and serving on the
Library?s leadership team, the Chief Youth & Family Services Officer
performs professional, managerial, and administrative work of a highly
responsible nature in directing and coordinating the activities of the
library program. With considerable independent judgment, discretion, and
initiative, this position develops youth collections, plans, and implements
services and activities to meet present and anticipated community needs
ensuring the highest level of service is provided by staff to all customers.
This position also acknowledges and accepts the library?s vision, mission
and core values, respects the library?s confidentiality policy and maintains
the integrity of Hartford Public Library. 

 

Qualifications.  Minimum qualifications include: an ALA?accredited Master?s
Degree in Library Science with a minimum of five years of increasingly
responsible leadership experience in public services with a concentration in
youth and family services.  The successful candidate will also demonstrate
the ability to think strategically at a high leadership level, proven
success in system-wide and community partnerships, project management
skills, sound public presentation skills, thorough knowledge of the
principles, practices and techniques of modern library operation and
administration, and a strong commitment to working in a team environment.
Expectations also include strong oral and written communication skills and
budgeting experience. Experience working in a multi-branch urban setting and
a union environment is preferred. For the complete position description,
please visit Chief Youth
<http://www.gossagesager.com/HartfordYSjobdesc.pdf> & Family Services
Officer.

Compensation. The position?s salary range is $79,720 - $113,533 annually and
a competitive employee benefits package.

Could you share your financial plan if you have one?  We're class II, so I'm especially interested in class II or III, but if you're larger, that still helps.

Greetings Michigan Library Community,

The Library of Michigan is now in a position to extend to you an opportunity to view a series of up-to-the-minute E-Rate webinars being produced here in Michigan by E-Rate Central through TRIG (Technology Readiness Infrastructure Grant) via the Michigan Department of Education. The webinars will speak specifically to both schools and libraries AND provide a Q/A period.

There are four trainings scheduled: January 20th (archive can be viewed at the link below), January 27th, February 3rd, February 10th.  All Tuesdays, all 2- 4 p.m. They will be recorded and available for later viewing here: http://22itrig.org/activities/activity-one-a/e-rate-20/webinars/

While content for tomorrow's webinar has been determined: an overview of the changes to E-Rate - including the changes that went into effect in December, what we know now about the Form 471, and an update about the NSLP/CEP master list, E-Rate Central is seeking your input so they can structure the later webinars appropriately.

Please visit this link: http://22itrig.org/activities/activity-one-a/e-rate-20/webinars/ to provide them with the data they need to make the webinars about successfully filing the Form 471 what libraries need.

Want to jump on tomorrow (Tuesday, January 27th from 2-4) to see what it's all about? Go here:
Click the link below to connect to the Webinar tomorrow:

Message-ID: <CAAiXoR=TMqEw1qMMuuBuDSDoFEiwvqO70yhVjWLjqpoyB7Jm+A@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

Our City Council has agreed to begin the process of transferring ownership
of the library building over to the District Library.  The only condition
is that the agreement contain a clause that would revert ownership back
over to the City for $1 should the library consider moving.

My questions:

Do any of you have similar agreements with your city's or local
municipalities?

Do any of you have an agreement that does not contain a revert clause -- if
so, how was this negotiated (did you purchase the building from your local
municipality for full market value..etc).

Thanks!

Hey, public libraries with active writers' groups -- 

Did
you foster these groups, or did they come to you looking for space? 

Do you facilitate, or are they self-sustaining? 

Please
answer off-list to kristy at parchmentlibrary.org? and I'll compile the
results and send them to any other interested parties.

Thanks!
Kristy

On Wednesday February 4, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at the NFL YET Boys & Girls Club in Detroit, Lions tight end Eric Ebron will join Michigan Treasurer Kevin Clinton, the Michigan Jump$tart Coalition and Visa Inc. in the Wolverine State to tackle head on the issue of financial literacy improvement among Michigan's youth. They will announce an expansion of the statewide effort to improve the money management skills of high school and middle school students with Financial Football, a free educational video game and classroom curriculum developed by Visa Inc.

The game, already distributed by the Treasurer's office to every public middle school and high school in Michigan will now, for the first time in any state, be distributed by the Student Financial Services Bureau within the Michigan Department of Treasury, to every public library and Boys & Girls Club statewide. Jump$tart and Visa are working with the state treasurer to share the financial information and skills with students.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Couch to 5K program - follow-up
Message-ID: <8EE24ACF5C2B5945AF776E39181A009549306969@EXCH.wb.local>

Hello Everyone,

Thanks to those who send me messages.

I received several responses from libraries that have done Couch to 5k programs. It appears some keep it simple by posting training schedules and organizing weekly runs, while other libraries bring in local experts for more in-depth or supervised training. A couple libraries provided their forms, which include waivers in case of injury (or in one case, death).

One library appears to have their OWN 5k race, with registration, and a very nice website. Check out http://brooksvillelibrary5k.com/. Other libraries do the training leading up to a local race for which participants can choose to register. A couple libraries mentioned they did not have a specific race at the end of the training, which may have resulted in lower participation.

Participants dropping out after a couple weeks was typical. I think of it as similar to book club, in that we need to run a new club for several months to get a core group that comes, with a few newbies each month. Perhaps providing the Couch to 5k training, 1 or 2 times a year, with specific local races as the end goal will help build recognition and participation.

My next step is to contact local running shops to see how much they would charge to lead a program. I am not a runner (yet) to feel comfortable leading it. I have walked a couple half-marathons and my personal goal is to add in running to increase my speed. I could lead a group of walkers, but not runners.

Our community has a 5k on May 16, which if I move quickly enough could be a useful end goal. A typical Couch to 5k plan is 9 weeks (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/index.shtml). Moving backwards, that means we would need to start training March 21. That gives me a couple weeks to see if we can pull together a quick program and then PR it, or look for a race later in the year if we need more planning.

A couple useful tidbits:

1.    Our first session began in January.  We practiced indoors - inside the corridors of the local high school.  We had two local races to choose from? It was so much fun.  We started up the second session, practicing outside.  We began and ended at the library.  About 6 of us from the library were involved so access wasn't a problem.

2.    Hiccups - not as much participation as we thought.  We have about 20 people participating . . . not all at the same time.  But I believe that this is something that will build.  We offer support, training, gear (from local sporting store) for $60.  Anything leftover goes to a local charity (the High School Interact Club).  We are going to reduce the initial fee to only cover the track and training, then the gear will be separate.  See if that's a better draw.

3.    Yes! I did one of these last spring that was moderately successful, and then I tried one in the fall that was less successful. The spring one was initially attended by 10 people but then dropped down to about 4 by the end of it, and the fall one started out with 5 but then a few people stopped coming so I cancelled it partway through.

4.    There are typically 3 runs scheduled each week, and the group members were on their own for the 2 during the week but then we all met on Saturday mornings at 8am to do the third run as a group. It was easy to use an app on my phone to guide everyone through the different intervals.

5.    Each Saturday run was paired with either me giving a short presentation on some aspect of running that I knew about, but ideally I was able to bring in a presenter to discuss what it's like to run a marathon, yoga for runners, or some other topic related to running.

6.    The biggest hiccup that I ran into is that people would register, come to the first and/or second run, and then just drop off the map and stop coming. Everyone thought it was a great idea and supported the program, but when it came time to put in the work there were only a few dedicated enough to do so. Some of that could have been due to scheduling difficulties, but it's always tough to find a time that works for everyone.

7.    Ideally I did want to have it lead up to a 5k in the community, but scheduling never worked out for that. That would also help with attendance -- if folks register for the race right away, then it's a little more motivating to do the weekly runs.

8.    I participated in a program through our rec department last summer and just wanted to share with you that one of the participants in the program had a fatal heart attack during our last run. He had a history of heart disease and knew the risks, but it was still quite a shock. Mainly, I just want to remind you to have all the participants sign a hold harmless agreement before starting the class.


Planning questions:

1.    Will there be more than one coach?

2.    How do they handle walkers from runners?

3.    Is there an expectation of participants?

4.    Does the guru have a preference if there are 10 vs 50?

5.    You'll have all people? Ages? Health risks? Only those 18 and older unless accompanied by an adult (not a drop off for daycare)

6.    What's the cost per participant?

7.    Is there a kick off where the participants can ask questions?

8.    Where is the training held?  Are there restrooms available and hydration (water) available afterwards?

9.    How many weeks?  Avg 9-10 weeks is safe and good?

10. Do participants get a "team" shirt or jacket for signing up?

11. What is the race swag or goal swag?

12. Is the local or goal 5K included in cost of the program?


Have a wonderful day,
Nyama

Subject:[Michlib-l] Couch to 5K program - follow-up

	Hello Everyone,

	?

	Thanks to those who send me messages.

	?

	I received several responses from libraries that have done Couch to
5k programs. It appears some keep it simple by posting training
schedules and organizing weekly runs, while other libraries bring in
local experts for more in-depth or supervised training. A couple
libraries provided their forms, which include waivers in case of
injury (or in one case, death). 

	?

	One library appears to have their OWN 5k race, with registration, and
a very nice website. Check out http://brooksvillelibrary5k.com/ [1].
Other libraries do the training leading up to a local race for which
participants can choose to register. A couple libraries mentioned they
did not have a specific race at the end of the training, which may
have resulted in lower participation.

	?

	Participants dropping out after a couple weeks was typical. I think
of it as similar to book club, in that we need to run a new club for
several months to get a core group that comes, with a few newbies each
month. Perhaps providing the Couch to 5k training, 1 or 2 times a
year, with specific local races as the end goal will help build
recognition and participation.

	?

	My next step is to contact local running shops to see how much they
would charge to lead a program. I am not a runner (yet) to feel
comfortable leading it. I have walked a couple half-marathons and my
personal goal is to add in running to increase my speed. I could lead
a group of walkers, but not runners.

	?

	Our community has a 5k on May 16, which if I move quickly enough
could be a useful end goal. A typical Couch to 5k plan is 9 weeks
(http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/index.shtml [2]). Moving
backwards, that means we would need to start training March 21. That
gives me a couple weeks to see if we can pull together a quick program
and then PR it, or look for a race later in the year if we need more
planning.

	?

	A couple useful tidbits:

	 1.??? Our first session began in January.? We practiced indoors
- inside the corridors of the local high school.? We had two local
races to choose from? It was so much fun.? We started up the second
session, practicing outside.? We began and ended at the library.?
About 6 of us from the library were involved so access wasn't a
problem.? 

	 2.??? Hiccups - not as much participation as we thought.? We
have about 20 people participating . . . not all at the same time.?
But I believe that this is something that will build.? We offer
support, training, gear (from local sporting store) for $60.?
Anything leftover goes to a local charity (the High School Interact
Club).? We are going to reduce the initial fee to only cover the
track and training, then the gear will be separate.? See if that's a
better draw.

	 3.??? Yes! I did one of these last spring that was moderately
successful, and then I tried one in the fall that was less successful.
The spring one was initially attended by 10 people but then dropped
down to about 4 by the end of it, and the fall one started out with 5
but then a few people stopped coming so I cancelled it partway
through. 

	 4.??? There are typically 3 runs scheduled each week, and the
group members were on their own for the 2 during the week but then we
all met on Saturday mornings at 8am to do the third run as a group. It
was easy to use an app on my phone to guide everyone through the
different intervals. 

	 5.??? Each Saturday run was paired with either me giving a short
presentation on some aspect of running that I knew about, but ideally
I was able to bring in a presenter to discuss what it's like to run a
marathon, yoga for runners, or some other topic related to running.

	 6.??? The biggest hiccup that I ran into is that people would
register, come to the first and/or second run, and then just drop off
the map and stop coming. Everyone thought it was a great idea and
supported the program, but when it came time to put in the work there
were only a few dedicated enough to do so. Some of that could have
been due to scheduling difficulties, but it's always tough to find a
time that works for everyone. 

	 7.??? Ideally I did want to have it lead up to a 5k in the
community, but scheduling never worked out for that. That would also
help with attendance -- if folks register for the race right away,
then it's a little more motivating to do the weekly runs. 

	 8.??? I participated in a program through our rec department last
summer and just wanted to share with you that one of the participants
in the program had a fatal heart attack during our last run. He had a
history of heart disease and knew the risks, but it was still quite a
shock. Mainly, I just want to remind you to have all the participants
sign a hold harmless agreement before starting the class. 

	?

	Planning questions:

	 1.??? Will there be more than one coach?? 

	 2.??? How do they handle walkers from runners?? 

	 3.??? Is there an expectation of participants? 

	 4.??? Does the guru have a preference if there are 10 vs 50?

	 5.??? You'll have all people? Ages? Health risks? Only those 18
and older unless accompanied by an adult (not a drop off for daycare) 

	 6.??? What's the cost per participant?

	 7.??? Is there a kick off where the participants can ask
questions? 

	 8.??? Where is the training held?? Are there restrooms available
and hydration (water) available afterwards?

	 9.??? How many weeks?? Avg 9-10 weeks is safe and good?

	 10. Do participants get a "team" shirt or jacket for signing up?

	 11. What is the race swag or goal swag? 

	 12. Is the local or goal 5K included in cost of the program?

	?

	?

	Have a wonderful day,

	Nyama

It's National Drug Facts Week! With 15.2 million users, marijuana has become
increasingly popular among Americans, with many believing it to be less
harmful than it actually is. Today's infographic highlights areas of the
brain affected and impaired by marijuana use, especially the long-term
problems it can cause on a teen's developing brain.

 

Please share with your network.thanks, Mary

Hi, Jill.

We loan our DVDs for free.  The loan period is the same as the rest of our
material--3 weeks.  The late fee is $.10 per day just like the rest of our
material.

Hope this helps,

Gayle

Library comrades, 
I'm curious about what you're charging for DVD rentals. 

Our current fee is $2 for 2 days. Late fees are $1 per day -- that we're open.

Hi Jill,

We do not charge a rental fee for our DVDs. We have regular DVDs that go
out for 7 days with .25 cent a day late fee. These are renewable. We also
have Hot DVDs that only go out for 4 days and we charge $1 a day late fee
on them. These are the newest releases and are not renewable.

My first question is are there any libraries using video surveillance

importantly what policies do you have?   Thank you in advance for your

Have a successful program, event or idea that you'd like to share with academic colleagues from across the state? Interested individuals have until Monday, February 9 to submit a poster proposal for Academic Libraries 2015 conference, to be held May 28th and 29th, 2015, in Bay City. But don't delay, you won't want to miss out on this opportunity.

Academic Libraries 2015 Conference
Call for Poster Proposals

We're interested in thoughtful poster proposals on topics in every area of librarianship, addressing the range of issues of critical concern to academic libraries. We'd like representation across the spectrum of academic librarianship: from the development of BibFrame to the expansion of PDA/DDA, from new methods of electronic resource management to the integration of MOOCS, to ARL's 'New Roles for New Times' liaison model. Broad participation is encouraged from librarians, staff and administrators from all types of academic libraries (including but not limited to public universities, private colleges and community colleges).

Proposals should include a description of no more than 300 words and an abstract of no more than 75 words, along with at least one learning outcome. Proposals will be evaluated on relevance to academic library profession, originality and creativity, and clarity/applicability of content and outcomes.

The deadline for poster proposals is February 9, 2015

  *   Poster proposals may be submitted at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12I40TA_VVR39Hrh44f-IqTDHx8QyKBzXzw7mfFzj6yw/viewform?pli=1&edit_requested=true

For more information about the conference, visit the MLA website: http://www.milibraries.org/prof-development-networking/academic-libraries/schedule/

Feel free to post and forward this call for proposals to colleagues who are doing work that Michigan Librarians should know about! We're looking forward to seeing you!

Hello all,

Anyone living or working with teens (aka teenagers, adolescents, young adults) probably knows that life happens to them in dramatic and fast changing ways!  Their topics of concern can include self-image, drugs, smoking, the opposite sex, health, bullying, employment, and many others.  They want answers but may be embarrassed to ask directly for what they really need/are interested in.  With that in mind, we have compiled some resources in the MeL Teens Gateway Life Happens<http://teens.mel.org/MeLLifeHappens> section under three categories - Health<http://teens.mel.org/index.php?P=MeLLifeHappens&ParentId=998>, Social Issues<http://teens.mel.org/index.php?P=MeLLifeHappens&ParentId=999> and Vocations/Jobs<http://teens.mel.org/index.php?P=MeLLifeHappens&ParentId=1000> that you can refer them to.  Websites and databases are listed to help address their concerns and answer questions.  The Vocations/Jobs section includes links to the MeL Databases LearningExpress Library Career Center<http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-lxpress3.php?database=CA>, High School Equivalency Center<http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-lxpress3.php?database=HSEC> and Job & Career Accelerator<http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-lxpress3.php?database=JCA>.  Just remember, we were all teens once ourselves!  Michigan residents or Michigan library access only for database resources.

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<mailto:contact at mel.org> or visit mel.org<http://mel.org/>.  We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Cleaning books from a smoke- and soot-damaged home
Message-ID: <CABjCnaGYgzQ8Zu+odiyS8b9Zrqi93wiQsL3O24Bpaf0o37cgVg@mail.gmail.com>

I'm hoping that someone out there has some advice we can pass along to a
patron whose home caught fire recently. She has many books that were not
damaged in the fire but do smell strongly of smoke, and the insurance
company recommended that she have them cleaned using an ozone process. (I
believe this is similar to how professional detailers remove smoke smells
from cars.)

The patron is looking to donate the books after they've been cleaned but
wants to make sure that this process isn't dangerous for those who would
receive the books. Has anyone used ozone to clean books-- or know of a
better/safer alternative method?

Thank you,

Jessica Schmidt
