Circulate The Greatest Number Of MAP Passes This Summer, And Win Another One! All, As you are aware, the Michigan Activity Pass program is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year http://tln.lib.mi.us/mapcvr/Files/MAP%202017_Release_FINAL.pdf The 10th year of MAP starts next Wednesday, May 24. In order to build in an additional wow! factor, as well as to increase awareness among library staff when it comes to all the great destination venues that can be accessed via the Michigan Activity Pass program, and then of course promoted to library patrons, TLN went shopping. On Black Friday. Or maybe it was on Cyber Monday?! For Kindle Fire tablets. Whichever day, we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. At a very, very good price. Now, the real fun begins...we get to start giving those tablets to participating MAP libraries! For the peak MAP usage months of June, July, and August, we will award one Kindle Fire tablet (5th generation; 7" display; 8gb; quad-core processor; dual cameras; microSD slot for up to 128gb of expandable storage) to the libraries in their respective library cooperatives that circulate the greatest number of MAP passes that month. Four libraries will win in June. This includes libraries in Woodlands, Detroit, Suburban, and Southwest library cooperatives. Four libraries will win in July. This includes libraries in Superiorland, Northland, Mid-Michigan, and Lakeland library cooperatives. Three libraries will win in August. This includes libraries in MidEastern, White Pine, and TLN library cooperatives. That makes for a total of 11 Kindle Fire tablets! Prizes will be awarded in early July, early August, and early September to the winning libraries, based on MAP circulation totals from the previous month. We will ship the tablet to the winning library via RIDES (or for the winning TLN library, TLN) delivery. We know you already promote MAP to your patrons, and we are very appreciative of that fact. But now you can help win a Kindle Fire tablet for your library by really, really promoting MAP to your patrons! We make promotion easy by providing you with brochures (just updated for 2017-18, now includes accessibility information), posters, bookmarks, a PowerPoint presentation, etc all available at http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ For library cooperative directors, please feel free to share the information about our June/July/August MAP contest with staff in any of your member libraries that may not be subscribed to the Michlib-l listserv. Now, I said we bought a dozen Kindle Fire tablets. Yes, we did. But there are only 11 library cooperatives. What's up with that? We need to give away 12 tablets! So, let's start the party right now by giving away that 12th Kindle Fire tablet. The first library that is a participating MAP library that correctly answers the below *** question, will win that 12th Kindle Fire tablet! Here are the guidelines for today's MAP quiz contest: 1. Your library must be included in the MAP database http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ Every public library in Michigan is included in the MAP database, making every public library eligible to win! 2. More than one library will submit the correct answer, as the question isn't hard, and every person who is reading this message is an information professional. As that is the case, the first library with the correct answer as determined by the time stamp of their email answer back to me, will be declared the winner. 3. TLN and/or its staff are not eligible to win. Here is your question. Drum roll, please: Or for more fun, get warmed up by listening to this tune from the 1960's which, if you are old enough like me, you will remember :( Even if you aren't, you still have to admit that it has a pretty darn good drum roll part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p13yZAjhU0M ***What is the name of the SMALLEST place in Michigan to have not just one but two, destinations in the MAP http://www.plymouthrockets.com/map2016/ database??? We are looking for the name of the place in which the two MAP destinations are located, as defined by the USPS. For bonus credit: include the population of this SMALLEST place in your answer. I took that population number from Wikipedia, and as information professionals we know Wikipedia is never wrong, right? :) If you answer the bonus credit question correctly, you get to choose between one of the 11 black, special Kindle Fire tablets, and the 12th really, really special Kindle Fire tablet. The 12th tablet is really, really special because it is blue. Or maybe it is really, really special only if you like blue? Otherwise, it is identical to the other 11. Those are all black. And they are special. But I think I said that already. The contest for that 12th, really, really special Kindle Fire tablet starts right now. Send your answer to me via email, preferably before anyone else does. I don't work weekends, so it is likely the winning library will not be announced until Monday. Go!

We have relatives and friends who live in and around Toledo, so we drive around and in that area on a regular basis. Usually I am the one doing the driving. However, this past weekend my significant other was behind the wheel. This was the first time she had run that gamut, and when we came to the area in question, I advised her to bend the wheel to the right. However, she failed to do so, and we ended up on I-75 instead of I-280. No big deal for us, as we are pretty familiar with that area. No big deal for you, either as you will eventually bump into the Ohio Turnpike, albeit further west than you need to be. Besides, there are a number of corn and soybean fields that are guaranteed to keep you enthralled and entertained between the I-75 and I-280 entrances to the Ohio Turnpike. Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury at tln.lib.mi.us From: "Jim Flury" To: econtent at lists.tln.org, "everyone" Sent: Friday, July 28, 2017 9:55:03 AM Subject: Digipalooza Attendees: A Road Construction Note All, For those attending the OverDrive Digipalooza conference in Cleveland next week, I wanted to call your attention to a Toledo road construction issue that is confusing at best and, if you are not paying attention (to this message, that is) could be problematic, due to poor signage as well as the heavy volume of truck traffic. If your route is US-23 south to I-475 east to I-75 south to the Ohio Turnpike, there is construction in Toledo on both I-475 and I-75. That isn't an issue, just follow the signs. However, if your route is I-75 south to I-280 south to the Ohio Turnpike, HEADS UP. When you cross the state line into Ohio on I-75, get in and STAY IN the middle lane. There are three lanes, but not for long. The far right lane is closed about one mile into Ohio. Don't get caught there, as the huge number of trucks can make it difficult to get back to the middle lane. If you've run this route before, you will recall that the exit for southbound I-280 from southbound I-75 in Toledo has always been the LEFT lane. That is not currently the case. The left lane now continues to I-75. The right lane is closed. This means the MIDDLE lane is the place to be, to exit to I-280. And to add to the confusion, even if you are in correct, middle lane to exit to I-280, you still have to veer right to exit I-75 to I-280. The signage that explains all of this is poor, and in my mind anyway, only serves to make a confusing situation even more so. One electronic sign on the right shoulder flashes "Do not follow GPS." You will recall that when Michael and Dwight from Dunder Mifflin followed GPS, they drove into a pond. While you won't drive into a pond if you follow your GPS, you will end up continuing south on I-75 through Toledo to the Ohio Turnpike. No big deal, I guess, but doing so will take you about 5-10 miles out of your way to the west, when you really want to be headed east, towards Cleveland. Don't be Michael and Dwight!

This fall the LM is hosting a series of day-long, hands-on workshops about the product. Are you curious about this service? Take advantage of one of the workshop dates to learn more. Cost is $20.00 per person and the locations are below: MIDWEST COLLABORATIVE FOR LIBRARY SERVICES, LANSING Tuesday, Sept 5 - 10 am to 4 pm BAYLISS PUBLIC LIBRARY, SAULT STE. MARIE Tuesday, Sept 19 - 10 am to 4 pm CADILLAC-WEXFORD PUBLIC LIBRARY, CADILLAC Tuesday, Oct 3 - 10 am to 4 pm WHITE LAKE COMMUNITY LIBRARY, WHITEHALL Thursday, Oct 5 - 10 am to 4 pm MARSHALL DISTRICT LIBRARY, MARSHALL Tuesday, Oct 10 - 10 am to 4 pm SUBURBAN LIBRARY CO-OP, STERLING HEIGHTS Wednesday, October 25 - 10 am to 4 pm Ploud is designed for small and rural libraries, provided by vendor Enfold Systems and subsidized with Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) dollars through the LM. Over 100 Michigan libraries utilize Ploud for their websites. Are you thinking about changing website services? Consider Ploud. Michigan Ploud libraries will pay $200 this year. For that low cost libraries are able to take advantage of one of four templates, each of which comes with between four and a dozen color schemes that can be changed at any time; hosting; a vendor-provided help desk; and on-going development. A subdomain of "michlibrary.org" such as "MYLIBRARY.michlibrary.org" is available to new libraries or you are free to use your own domain name. And there's no uploading HTML files with Ploud. In fact, you don't need to know any HTML at all. You simply log onto your site and from there you can edit text, images and links from an easy-to-use interface that requires no coding. Ploud is great for libraries without specialized technology staff. Ploud comes with carousels, or rotating images, which you can use on any page; optional drag and drop page layouts; a selection of MeL databases which can easily be extended for your patron base; an intuitive calendar for library events; a News section; a Kids & Teens area; and a Contact Us form. From there you can develop any new content that you'd like. Your Ploud website can be as small or as large as you care to build it. To get an idea of what the product looks like and how Michigan libraries are using it check out these sites: * Cadillac Wexford Public Library * Caro Area District Library * Crooked Tree District Library * Leelanau Township Library * Presque Isle District Library * Walled Lake City Library Questions? Contact Sonya Schryer Norris at norriss2 at michigan.gov or 517-373-4457. You can also check out the program website. This summer is a perfect time to consider Ploud.

He had a multifaceted program, enthusiastically presenting wealth of information on the eclipse: what to do/not do in viewing the eclipse; where to go to view it best; how to understand what is actually happening. He was engaging and got rave reviews from the audience, and he was also generous enough to give away a number of free passes to the planetarium. It is, of course, a bit late for programming before this eclipse, but I highly recommend him for presentations exploring the topic of the solar system and outer space. He was delightful. Hope E.

This fall the LM is hosting a series of day-long, hands-on workshops about the product. Are you curious about this service? Take advantage of one of the workshop dates to learn more. Cost is $20.00 per person and the locations are below: MIDWEST COLLABORATIVE FOR LIBRARY SERVICES, LANSING Tuesday, Sept 5 - 10 am to 4 pm BAYLISS PUBLIC LIBRARY, SAULT STE. MARIE Tuesday, Sept 19 - 10 am to 4 pm CADILLAC-WEXFORD PUBLIC LIBRARY, CADILLAC Tuesday, Oct 3 - 10 am to 4 pm WHITE LAKE COMMUNITY LIBRARY, WHITEHALL Thursday, Oct 5 - 10 am to 4 pm MARSHALL DISTRICT LIBRARY, MARSHALL Tuesday, Oct 10 - 10 am to 4 pm SUBURBAN LIBRARY CO-OP, STERLING HEIGHTS Wednesday, October 25 - 10 am to 4 pm Ploud is designed for small and rural libraries, provided by vendor Enfold Systems and subsidized with Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) dollars through the LM. Over 100 Michigan libraries utilize Ploud for their websites. Are you thinking about changing website services? Consider Ploud. Michigan Ploud libraries will pay $200 this year. For that low cost libraries are able to take advantage of one of four templates, each of which comes with between four and a dozen color schemes that can be changed at any time; hosting; a vendor-provided help desk; and on-going development. A subdomain of "michlibrary.org" such as "MYLIBRARY.michlibrary.org" is available to new libraries or you are free to use your own domain name. And there's no uploading HTML files with Ploud. In fact, you don't need to know any HTML at all. You simply log onto your site and from there you can edit text, images and links from an easy-to-use interface that requires no coding. Ploud is great for libraries without specialized technology staff. Ploud comes with carousels, or rotating images, which you can use on any page; optional drag and drop page layouts; a selection of MeL databases which can easily be extended for your patron base; an intuitive calendar for library events; a News section; a Kids & Teens area; and a Contact Us form. From there you can develop any new content that you'd like. Your Ploud website can be as small or as large as you care to build it. To get an idea of what the product looks like and how Michigan libraries are using it check out these sites: * Cadillac Wexford Public Library * Caro Area District Library * Crooked Tree District Library * Leelanau Township Library * Presque Isle District Library * Walled Lake City Library Questions? Contact Sonya Schryer Norris at norriss2 at michigan.gov or 517-373-4457. You can also check out the program website. This summer is a perfect time to consider Ploud.

He had a multifaceted program, enthusiastically presenting wealth of information on the eclipse: what to do/not do in viewing the eclipse; where to go to view it best; how to understand what is actually happening. He was engaging and got rave reviews from the audience, and he was also generous enough to give away a number of free passes to the planetarium. It is, of course, a bit late for programming before this eclipse, but I highly recommend him for presentations exploring the topic of the solar system and outer space. He was delightful. Hope E.

It's a nice Sunday drive and we'll feed you well! Think you might attend? Let us know here: https://www.facebook.com/Stair-District-Library-125080137533840/ and please share far and wide! Thanks, Colleen Press release: It won?t be your garden variety author visit when Elizabeth Berg appears for a book reading and signing at Stair District Library in Morenci at 2 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 13?but there will be garden vegetables (among lots of other refreshments) and garden flowers?and dogs. Yes, dogs. As part of Berg?s Tales and Tails Tour, her dog, Gabby, will accompany her. Plus, a representative of the Lenawee Humane Society will be present with a dog available for adoption and to speak briefly about the organization and the adoption process. The Tales and Tails Tour took shape following the recent death of Berg?s beloved dog, Homer, as a way to give back and to ?make people happy,? which is also the title of one of the books she?ll be promoting on the tour. Berg decided to visit libraries at no charge, but with stipulations?permission for Gabby to attend, flowers on display, good refreshments for the audience members, and an adoptable dog from the Humane Society. ?Make People Happy? is a collection of favorite Facebook posts Berg published in book form in 2016 after requests from her fans. Berg will also read from ?The Story of Arthur Truluv? which comes out this November. Berg?s partner, Bill Young, will be in attendance to sell copies of ?Make People Happy? as well as many of her previously published books. Stair District Library is one of 17 libraries on the tour of several Midwest states and the only one in Michigan. It is located at 228 W.

ALSC Community Forum on Monday, August 14th 2017 Dr. Nicole A. Cooke, Jessica Anne Bratt, and ALSC President Nina Lindsay, will be hosting an ALSC Community Forum live chat on the topic Social Justice Practice in Youth Librarianship. This forum will include a live text discussion with the opportunity to ask questions to our presenters. Circling back to this segment of the "Libraries are Not Neutral Spaces" program from 2017 Annual Conference, we will reopen this discussion on tangible practices of social justice advocacy. How do we practice talking about race and modeling inclusion in storytime? How can we work with our colleagues in actual practice of social justice dialogue? At this Community Forum we will have a conversation in order to move from conversation, so that each of us can return to our work with a new practice. This forum will be held on Monday, August 14th 2017, 4pm. Members are invited to view "3 Ways to Speak English" by Jamila Lyiscott and the Anderson Cooper Doll Test before the forum. Dr. Nicole A. Cooke is an Assistant Professor at the School of Information Sciences, at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where she is also the Program Director for the Master's of Library and Information Science program. Jessica Anne Bratt is the new Youth Services Manager for the Grand Rapids Public Library. She is one of the co-founders of Libraries4BlackLives. This ALSC Community Forum will take place on Adobe Connect. ALSC members will receive an email about the forum a few days before. Members will also be able to access a link to the live forum via the ALSC website with their ALA username and password. An archived webcast of the forum will be available to all ALSC members after the live session has been completed.

The 4-day, 3-night tour includes stops at Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site, the Lincoln Home in Springfield and the Lincoln Tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery, along with a special visit to the new Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. The Life of Lincoln Tour takes place Oct. 13-16, 2017, and departs from the HSM offices in Lansing, Mich., with two pickup stops within the state in Grand Rapids and St. Joseph. A detailed itinerary is attached to this e-mail. It can also be downloaded from HSM's website: hsmichigan.org. Reservations can be made by mail, going online, or by calling (800) 692-1828. "Life of Lincoln" motor coach tour participants will have the chance to experience an in-depth look at the life of one of America's greatest presidents. Tour highlights include an afternoon exploring New Salem, a reconstruction of the village where Abraham Lincoln spent his early adulthood; visits to the Abraham Lincoln House, the Illinois State Museum, and both the current and old Illinois State Capitols; a half day at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum; and a stop at the Lincoln Tomb State Historic Site. The tour fee is $625 per person and includes motor coach transportation; all lodging; all dinners and breakfasts, plus one boxed lunch on the motor coach; and all admission fees, taxes, and gratuities. Historical Society of Michigan membership is required; memberships start at $25. Price is based on double occupancy. The registration deadline is September 1, 2017. The Michiganders on the Road motor coach tour program was developed by HSM to allow participants to experience the culture and heritage of all 50 states. The excursions are not "cookie cutter" tours. Each and every tour is planned, executed and guided by Robert Myers, HSM's assistant director for education programs and events. When planning the adventures, Myers keeps in mind what history enthusiasts look for in their road trips so that the experience meets expectations. The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. # # # This e-mail is sent to our members and friends to keep you updated on historical activities and opportunities to learn more about our state's history.

Andy and Judy are from Massachusetts, but tour the country on weekends and vacations doing shows. In fact, they come through the Midwest at least twice a year. If you are planning a concert in the future, I highly recommend Andy and Judy's folk concert for all ages. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer.

Morris Branch of the Genesee District Library will open at noon today. Many of you may know that we partner with our local municipalities to bring services to our community. The partnership with the City of Mt. Morris was put to the test yesterday and they passed with flying colors! Minutes after our discovery and closing, City staff were on hand treating the building. The treatment continued into the night followed by an early morning cleaning and inspection. The inspection turned up no evidence of bed bugs. We are still treating (baking) dozens of items that were sealed in XL Ziploc bags. Early results show evidence on/in two books. Any items found to have any evidence are discarded after being thoroughly baked. It takes about two minutes at 120 degrees to kill bed bugs and eggs. We bake items for approximately 3 hours and then inspect them. I can say that the bed bug incident at our Mt. Morris branch was met with a quick and extensive response that should leave no doubt that the threat has been contained and is being eradicated. I would like to add that I commend Sue Alt and Rides for having preventative procedures in place. However, I would not characterize the Mt. Morris event as an "infestation". The amount of actual items impacted is low along with the number of bugs found. Thank you for the kind words of support and I will continue to send out our procedures to those who ask.

Dear Colleagues, Today, Tuesday, August 08, 2017, library staff discovered evidence of bed bugs among items returned to the Mt. Morris Branch of the Genesee District Library. The items in question have been removed and the building will remain closed until it has been treated, inspected and given the all clear. We look forward to serving our patrons from this branch as soon as this issue is resolved. In November of 2015, we developed procedures and trained staff on bed bugs. Today that preparation paid off. Although, the branch is temporarily closed we expect it to be treated and given the all clear soon. Shortly prior to this email we also sent out a press release. We want the public to know, from the source, what happened and what is being done. I want to assure you all that we are on top of this event and it will end with the bugs being contained and eradicated. It is business as usual at all of our other 18 branches.

It's true! While we can't create lists in MeLCat itself for a variety of reasons, the good folks on the MeLCat team at the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services have created this brilliant work-around. Now, in every bibliographic record in MeLCat you have the option on the right hand side of the screen to add it to one of your GoodReads shelves such as "to read," "currently reading" or "read." Not familiar with GoodReads? It's a popular booklovers site that lets you keep track of what you're reading and write reviews that you can share with your friends on the GoodReads site itself and also in other social media outlets such as Facebook. There are hundreds of thousands of reviews by other readers that you can use to help you decide whether to take the plunge with a new book. There are annual reading challenges, book clubs and discussion groups for practically every genre and reading interest, and online meet-ups with your favorite authors. But one of GoodReads most effective tools is the ability to keep track not only of what you've read but what you want to read, hence the importance of its integration into MeLCat. Enjoy this new tool! MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. The MeL Minutes are brought to you by Sonya Schryer Norris and Deb Renee Biggs, Library Consultants at the Library of Michigan @Library of Michigan MeL Team MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org, visit http://mel.org, or Sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery.

But many in library organizations don?t know how to effectively instigate employee motivation. As a critical management and leadership skill, it?s important to know what motivation is and isn't, what works and what doesn?t. In this session, we?ll explore factors that influence motivation at work and review strategies for supervisors to keep their teams motivated and productive. No matter the size of your library or your role, you will be inspired to find your own motivation and be able to catalyze others! Presented by: Rachel G.

IFLA believes that the challenges facing the library field from ever-increasing globalization can only be met and overcome by an inclusive, global response from a united library field. By joining us for this webinar, you can participate in this global discussion to identify future challenges and opportunities facing the library field and help to prioritize actions that a united and connected library field can take. The Association for Rural and Small Libraries, in collaboration with WebJunction, invites rural and small libraries to join this highly interactive webinar discussion to voice your opinions and contribute to shaping a unique and comprehensive IFLA Global Vision. In preparation, you may want to reflect on your work in the library field: Why do you think your work is important? How do you see your work in the future? You may also refer to IFLA?s Trend Report as well as other relevant publications about libraries and the trends and developments affecting them. Together we build literate, informed and participative societies. Together we create the future. Join us!

The deeper we move into this century, the more critical it becomes for people to hone skills like communication, collaboration, critical thinking, global awareness and creativity. Your patrons can strengthen these skill sets while also having fun in a social setting ? through playing tabletop games at the library. Learn about the wide array of games available and the specific skill sets each one promotes. Hear how public librarians are using games and get new ideas for programming and game-related projects that you can do at your library. Your younger patrons will be ahead of the 21st century game in no time.

Born in Michigan in 1875, Harriet Quimby was a journalist who began flying lessons after attending an aviation show. Harriet passed her flying test in 1911, becoming the first U.S. woman to earn a pilot's license. She was also the first woman to fly the English Channel. Sadly, Harriet died in a flying accident in 1912. Two Michigan historical markers and the National Aviation Hall of Fame honor her memory.

Learn about the wide array of games available and the specific skill sets each one promotes. Hear how public librarians are using games and get new ideas for programming and game-related projects that you can do at your library.

This past June, librarians from across the state responded to our survey of libraries offering adapted programming to children, teens, and adults with special needs. We will talk about the survey results, highlighting specific on-site and outreach programs for each age group. Participants will get an overview of what adapted programming is, what other libraries (of all sizes!) are doing to reach out to this underserved population, gain some insight on what has worked and/or not worked, and learn some tips to get started.

We currently keep them behind the reference desk and patrons can ask for them to look at in the library. Nobody is really asking for them though. I had thought about just including the booklet in with the game and marking that the item has 2 pieces for our clerks to check in Sirsi. Our Circulation Manager brought up a good point that if the booklet gets lost, how to do we charge the patron for the item since it doesn't feel right to charge a patron for a brand new game over a booklet, which I agree. The other thought is to throw away the booklets since many people just go online to find what they need in the games. Please contact me off list. I can put together all the responses I received for anyone interested. Thanks!

Results are coming in and we've already instituted a change that could affect your library. Read on! One new feature of MeL this summer was tabbed searching, or the ability to differentiate between a MeLCat search and a search of Articles and eResources (which is primarily database material) right from the homepage. This lets users target their search and we were anticipating that it would lead to higher user satisfaction. One of the options we chose when we put the tabbed searching in place was "persistent choice." That means that if a user selected MeLCat, executed a search, and then went back to the homepage, MeLCat would remain the chosen tab. From the desk in my office that seemed like a good idea but we discovered during testing that folks either forgot they had selected a particular tab, or outright expected to default back to a joint search of both MeLCat and the databases. So, we re-wrote the java script that controls for that and now each time a user returns to the homepage the search defaults to a joint search. The change affects a user's cookie session so you may need to clear your cache and cookies to see the new change. How does this affect your library? Well, if you're using the new, tabbed search widget you'll want to update the code to the improved, usability-testing-proven version at: http://mel.org/widget/meldiscoverywidget280.html Please note that there is code for the header, footer and body of each web page where you want to display the widget and it is found at the link above. MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. The MeL Minutes are brought to you by Sonya Schryer Norris and Deb Renee Biggs, Library Consultants at the Library of Michigan @Library of Michigan MeL Team MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan.

RESPONSES: Petoskey does. $50 per use. Muskegon: We currently do not allow our two meeting rooms to be reserved by for profit groups, with a weird exception for out of town lawyers doing depositions for local residents that was grandfathered in here years ago. I have realized this summer that we have 6-8 tutors who are using the room for paid tutoring services, but the parents are reserving the room as "study time" for their kids. So we need to redo a policy and I'd like to figure out a way to allow for-profit small businesses like tutoring to use the room. I'm stumped for ideas at the moment so your query is timely! Berkley: We do. Policy& rental form at: http://www.berkleymich.org/departments/library/docs/Lib.Meeting.Room.Rental.0217.pdf Hart: We allow anyone to use our rooms for free. First come, first serve. Tecumseh: We allow 'for profit' groups to use our meeting rooms for a $25.00 'donation'. Romulus: We allow for-profits to use the room but we charge. See policy below. The 34th District Court building is located right behind the library so we get a lot of requests from law firms for depositions and such. It is a good source of income. RENTAL OF LIBRARY MEETING ROOM - Individuals or organizations not able to meet the criteria for free use of the library Meeting Room may be eligible to rent the Meeting Room for a fee, subject to a determination that the proposed use is appropriate to the space, and not disruptive to regular library functions. Final determination regarding eligibility to rent the Meeting Room rests with the Library Director or his/her designee. Rental fees, if applicable, are non-refundable. Meeting Room rental fees will be charged in accordance with the following fee schedule adopted by the Board of Trustees. http://www.romuluslibrary.org/using-the-library/meeting-room/ Sterling Heightsdoes not allow for profits. Farmington: Our meeting rooms which we rent out are available only to those who have a library card with us. We have one price for non-profit groups and another price for businesses (for profit groups). Addison Twp. Library allows it. It brings an enormous amount of kids and parents in during the summer months. Ferndale: We let local businesses and members of the Ferndale Area Chamber rent our meeting rooms for a fee. Mostly, just to have meetings or training. Brightondoes allow this. We are also currently revising our policy, so your results will be interesting to see. Orion Twpdoes, we charge them $35/hour. Otherwise they follow the same policies as the non-profits. Otsego: We do not, but we have only one multipurpose room that serves as library programming space and community meeting space. I will be interested in seeing your tabulation of responses, as we will have more than one meeting area when our library expansion is complete. Cutler Memorial (St. Louis, MI) - We do, for a $25 fee, so we rarely have any takers. We've had lawyers use the room for depositions before, but that's about it. Benton Harbor: We allow anyone to rent our meeting room as long as they follow our meeting room policy. It is also $20 an hour to rent our meeting room (which is actually our library auditorium). Kalamazoo: We do at KPL. We have 2 different reservation rates: Nonprofit: 2 hour blocks - $25.00 each and For Profit: 1-4 hours - $150.00 with 5-8 hours - $250.00. We also charge a flat rate of $25.00 if anyone is bringing food into the rooms. We do not rent rooms for the purposes of private parties. All meetings must be free to attend and open to the public, even those reservations made by for-profit agencies. Eau Claire- We mostly have birthday parties and bridal or baby showers. However, for several years we did have Weight Watchers meeting in our room every week. My board felt that providing a place for the meeting was beneficial to the community. They did pay our normal rate for using the room. Their attendance dropped and they decided to consolidate their meetings, so no longer use our room. Other than that, we have not had any 'for profit' groups asking to rent our room. Commerce Twp: We allow for profit groups for things that DO NOT involve selling their product to the public. IE, training, staff meetings, etc. Have recently approved a new assisted living place in town to use space for a program aimed at social workers. That one was iffy. With the move to the new building I purposefully lightened up on rules. More stuff allowed on bulletin boards etc. OTOH our senior center is being expanded and renovated and starting next week several of their daily programs - tai chi, euchre, bridge etc will be happening in our big room. Except the whittlers, they'll be back in maintenance where there is no carpet. In Minnesota we charged for "for profit" use of our meeting rooms. Still free to non profit etc. Presque Isle: We do but they have to put a deposit down: ?All government organizations, commercial, for-profit organizations and ?special occasions? must pay a $150 refundable deposit. If it becomes necessary, the deposit will be retained by the Presque Isle District Library for any repair of facilities or special cleaning needed after use. Fees may be applicable based upon the discretion of the Library Director.? Dearborn: Our small meeting rooms are available for free on a first come, first served basis. Typically we don?t ask people why they want to use it?as long as they use if for some sort of meeting. At least one person must be 18 years old or older. Now, if they want to reserve the room in advance, then they have to pay for the room. Again, as long as they are using it for a meeting ? we don?t make them swear they are a non-profit. Our large conference rooms and our auditorium ? we always charge a fee for those. Garden City Library does not have meeting rooms, so we do not allow for profit, or not-for-profit groups to use them. ?? Canton: We rent to for-profit groups for a fee; see our Meeting Room Policy ( https://www.cantonpl.org/sites/default/files/CPL_Meeting_Room_Policy.pdf) and Application ( https://www.cantonpl.org/sites/default/files/CPL_Meeting_Room_App.pdf) for details. https://www.cantonpl.org/policies East Lansing: We do, but we charge them a little bit more than our non-profit/resident rate. https://www.elpl.org/meeting-room-reservations/ Rochester Hills: We do not. Dearborn Heights: I allow for profit groups, but if they hold a "business" class, it has to be open to the public, and they cannot charge for services. St. Ignace: We do. $20.00 an hour. We have a small kitchen that groups can use for an additional $20. Livonia: We allow "for profit" groups to use our rooms, but we charge them more than we charge the non-profit groups. Northfield Twp.: Yes. We allow any business, group or organization as long as the person requesting is a patron in good standing. Hartland's Cromaine Library permits for-profit and family/personal use of its meeting rooms, now expanded to three. https://www.cromaine.org/reserve-room Royal Oak: We do and it?s a big difference too. Policy says that we ask for proof of non-profit status. The thinking is that profit making companies do not have to prove their for-profit status because they are paying at the top tier. Non-profits are paying less so they have to prove their non-profit status. As you can imagine a lot of for-profit orgs try to tell us they're really non-profit because they want the lower rate We have two rooms to rent : the Youth activity room is $75 for profit $50 for non-profit orgs. The larger, nicer Auditorium is $125 and $75 respectively. This is for 3 hrs. For 3-5 hrs the rates are Youth activity room $125 and $75 The Auditorium is $250 and $125 Hillsdale: We do but we charge. $25 for 4 hours. If they want the large room it is $75.for 4 hours. Hamburg: We allow for-profit use for a fee of $25.00 per hour. Room use is free to non-profits. Blissfield: We allow it with some stipulations: If they are using it for a meeting or staff training, they operate with the same rules as non-profits. If they are charging admission, we double the fees. They cannot set up a store front and sell goods or services out of the auditorium. We have had some gray areas: insurance companies that hold ?public service? presentations on changes to health insurance or a health services company that wanted to talk about services for seniors. After some discussion, we allowed the insurance company in at the standard rate but they could not promote their own agency. The health care firm wanted to promote their own services, so we charged them double, which they paid without blinking. Dexter: I guess it depends on what you mean by 'for profit.' We do make our meeting room space available to businesses for training, management meetings, planning, etc. but we do not allow solicitation. So, the local Wendy's, providing food safety training for employees would be approved, whereas the Tupperware vendor could not hold a 'party' Our attorney (Anne Seurynck) always comes down on the side of judging acceptable behaviors rather than making decisions based on content or the type of group requesting access. Having said that, I am sure that some groups lie to us. They shut the door as a way of psychologically deterring their events from being "open to all members of the public" and there probably have been instances of solicitation. Unfortunately, we don't have enough staff to monitor the entirety of each meeting. We make an initial judgement at reservation. Yesterday, I had to turn down a wedding shower request which the person assured us would be open to the public. We have made a few denials related to business requests as well. If they slip through, we just respond with keeping their deposit and barring them from further meeting room use. http://www.dexter.lib.mi.us/index.php/about/library-policies/13-about-us/library-policies/52-meeting-room-policy Novi Public Library rents their rooms to both for profit and non-profit groups. We charge according to resident vs. nonresident. We don?t care about profit/nonprofit. The cost is based on if they are Novi residents or have a representative who lives/works in Novi who completes the application and will take responsibility for the space, or nonresidents. I?ve attached a copy of our application and pricing for your reference. http://www.novilibrary.org/About-Us/Meeting-Rooms.aspx Flat Rock: Good afternoon. We allow for profit groups to meet in our meeting rooms, but charge them $50 to use the room. Bad Axe: We allow for-profit groups to use our room, but we charge $50. Charlevoix Public Library - Our policy includes Fee Based Groups. Below is a pertinent section of the policy: A. A Fee Based Group is defined as a group whose business purpose or whose meeting?s purpose is to sell products or services for enterprise or a group hosting a private function. B. A Not-for-profit Group will be defined as a group that does not meet the definition of Fee Based Group (above, section IIA), whose meeting is open to the public, and whose meeting is posted on the public kiosk and calendar. A Not-for-profit Group will have use of all meeting room space at no charge during regular library hours. C. A Fee Based Group using the Computer Lab, Community Meeting Room A, or Community Meeting Room B, shall be charged $25 per hour. If both sides, A and B, of the Community Meeting Room are reserved, the charge is $50 per hour. Hackley Public Library does, but they're fourth priority -- 1) library, 2) Friends, 3) local nonprofit and government, 4) for profit. We're making some money on them, particularly on attorneys scheduling depositions. Bacon Memorial: We allow for profit groups to use our meeting rooms. We charge $50 for up to four hours of use. The most common usage is one of our rooms being booked for a deposition. We get this request a couple of times a year. Tecumseh District Library does allow for-profit groups in our meeting rooms. We charge $25.00 per day for use of the rooms for a profit organization. We have an extra space on our application form where patrons have to check if they are profit or non-profit. Imlay City: We allow meeting room use by "for profits" here. It was a longstanding policy from when the library was formed, as our city is very entrepreneurship & small business oriented, and there is really nowhere else for folks to go. We charge $10 an hour for room rental by "for profits", it?s free to others. Tamarack District Library - We allow for profit use, for a fee. Nonprofits may have the fee waived at my discretion (I nearly always waive the fee). Thanks to all who answered. There is quite a range! Here are my opinions: Many of us sell ourselves short when compared to what hotels charge for similar services. Small communities may not have other choices, and the library doesn't want to over charge. Larger libraries should at least break even on costs.

Video demonstrations, articles, online resources and course discussions direct students as they learn how to successfully deliver the various elements of bilingual storytimes, either on their own or with a bilingual community partner. Participants will discover new books, rhymes, songs, plans and resources that they can immediately put to use in their bilingual storytime programs. Learning Objectives: - Students will learn how to select and use the following components in bilingual storytime: books, songs, rhymes, fingerplays, and stories for telling aloud. - Students will experiment with incorporating bilingual materials into their existing storytime programs. - Students will select books and other materials they can use to increase inclusion of Latino culture and the Spanish language in their English storytime programs. - Students will develop strategies for working with bilingual community partners to present and market bilingual storytime. - Students will gain an increased understanding of the early literacy and school readiness needs of Latino children. - Students will articulate how bilingual storytime supports the early literacy and school readiness needs of Latino children, and identify online resources for sharing early literacy and school readiness information with Spanish-speaking parents. - Students will each develop two bilingual storytime plans. NOTE: This course does not address outreach/marketing to Latinos and Spanish-speakers, and is best suited for libraries that are already successfully serving these communities. Libraries interested in learning how to establish or improve services to Latino and Spanish-speaking families are encouraged to take the course, ?Building Relationships, Building Bridges: Library Outreach and Marketing to Latino and Spanish-Speaking Families.? http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/032-spanish-speaking.php Katie Scherrer is a library consultant and training specialist whose work focuses on improving library services to Latino and Spanish-speaking children and families. She is the co-author (along with Jamie Campbell Naidoo) of Once Upon a Cuento: Bilingual Storytimes in English and Spanish, available from ALA Editions. Katie has presented many workshops on bilingual storytime and library services to Latino families for librarians and early childhood educators across the country. Katie's Website http://www.connectedcommunitiesconsulting.com/ Interview with Katie Scherrer http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/news/?p=150 This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment. You can register in this course through the first week of instruction (as long as it is not full).

It's my opinion that people can share because no one is going to be looking at the sun for the whole two hours and there are other things they can do to watch the progress of the eclipse during that time.

Message-ID: In the spring of 2011, Clarkston resident Gini Schultz began work on a Michigan Album Quilt of Authors and Illustrators. Forty-one authors and illustrators returned autographed muslin squares that were then embellished and incorporated into the album quilt. It is with great honor and pleasure that we announce the quilt is now finished and ready to be unveiled to the public. In celebration, we are holding an open house on Saturday, September 9, 2017, at our library from 2-5 p.m. We'll be serving refreshments, holding a silent auction of related items, and creator Gini Schultz will be here to tell her story of how the quilt came to be. And we're hoping that some of our distinguished authors and illustrators stop in to celebrate with us as well. Please join in the festivities as we unveil our one-of-a-kind Michigan Album Quilt of Authors and Illustrators!

We welcome your participation on Michlib-l. There are a few guidelines that help improve the experience for everyone: 1. Please keep in mind when composing your messages that attachments are removed from posts for digest subscribers and in the archives. For maximum reach, embed the text you wish readers to see in the body of your message. If an attachment is especially important for its images, formatting or other reasons, upload it to your website and then link to it in your message to Michlib-l. 2. Do not post replies that are meant for one person to the entire list. You can accomplish this by using the "Reply" feature and not "Reply All." 3. If you ask for group input on a topic, offer to collect the responses and then re-post them to the list so everyone can benefit. Be sure to embed those responses in the body of your message. And, of course, a little patience goes a long way. We've all accidentally posted something to a list that was only meant for one person so gentleness with each other is helpful as well.

Origins of Bad Axe: What's in a Name? Some Michigan towns, such as Bad Axe, have odd names. In 1861, Rudolph Papst and George Pack found a beat-up axe while surveying a state road through Huron County. Papst wrote "Bad Axe Camp" in his survey notes and on a sign placed on the trail. A post office opened there in 1870 with the name Bad Axe. The county board of supervisors platted the village and made it the Huron county seat in 1873.

We started out with 1,000 glasses -- which seemed an impossibly large amount, gave away a couple of hundred to other libraries and have saved 100 for our party. All others were free to anyone walking in the door, while supplies lasted (i.e, they've long since disappeared!) I confess I've been amazed at the interest we've had; didn't think we'd ever dispense 500 let alone 1,000.

I didn't interpret that as blame or a guilt trip for homogenous white communities, but rather an intriguing opportunity to learn a skill that is hard to learn in a homogenous community--how to connect with and form friendships with people not like yourself. It's one thing to read about diverse cultural experiences and quite another to experience them. Experiencing diversity, building deep friendships, and having meaningful conversations with people whose life journeys differ from mine did not happen for me until I left my hometown, a homogenous community just east of Flint, MI. It accelerated for me when I joined an intentionally diverse faith community later in life. I did not realize it at the time, but growing up in that cocoon, while supportive in most ways, was limiting in others. What a wonderful gift for young people to nurture skills that help them reach beyond the familiar. --Sheryl Cormicle Knox Just representing myself, not my employer -----Original Message----- From: michlib-l-bounces at mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces at mcls.org] On Behalf Of Karyn Ruley Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2017 2:16 PM To: michlib-l at mcls.org Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Fw: Combatting Hate Via Your Library "As a reminder, YALSA has resources to help you support youth, especially those who may be feeling the brunt of current events.

It is not about blame and guilt - it's about learning and coming to fair terms with the ugly, brutal history of slavery and the current manifestations of racism. As a white person, I'm not looking to combat hate because I feel individually guilty or to blame (though others may judge me any way they wish) - I want every member of our society to really understand and find a way to reconcile with a history of racism that we have obviously not been willing to do as a nation. I offer these comments in a spirit of moving the discussion beyond individual resentments and toward a much bigger picture. We can't afford to wait until a cross is burning in a community to address this. We can offer kind and compassionate paths in a dialogue that is long overdue.

In addition, YALSA has resources to help you promote empathy and understanding among teens, especially those in predominantly white communities who need to build global citizenship skills to be successful adults in the 21st century." I find it incredibly offensive that it is assumed that those in "predominantly white communities" would "especially" need more help in building "global citizenship skills". While there are, and always will be, problems with prejudice in this world, many problems these days are made up, overblown, or attributed only to those with light colored skin. Racism and prejudice are ugly but go BOTH ways, or ALL ways. And it is JUST as ugly to assume someone has these prejudices. The blame needs to stop, the guilt needs to stop, and we need to stop dividing ourselves by making things more of an issue than they are. We will never achieve colorblindness when we keep bringing up color. If this is an ACTUAL issue in your particular community, then by all means, have a discussion. But that is an individual community issue, not something all libraries need to be involved in, if libraries need to be involved in them at all. I do not need organizations like YALSA to teach me how to think. I am becoming increasingly frustrated with this and other library organizations like the ALA and their obvious left leaning political agendas.

It is always good to know what we have at our fingertips, whether we choose to use the materials professionally or not. Unfortunately in our world today it is evident that racism, sexism and prejudice still exist. I'm glad to know YALSA is working to help us combat this in whatever small way we can in our communities. As a white woman who grew up in a very homogenous community, I would have loved to have more diverse experiences prior to college. My life is so much richer because I went to a diverse college and had conversations with people from many different cultures and backgrounds. How wonderful that we might be able to make some of this more possible for the children and teens we work with every day. I agree with Sheryl's interpretation, these resources present a wonderful opportunity to allow youth to connect with and learn about those who are different from themselves.

While I understand your concern about prejudice in all directions, it's important to remember the ways racism systemically affects people of color even when individuals aren't overtly being racist (for example name calling or deliberate firing because of race). You mention colorblindness, which is a wonderful notion, but actually contributes to the larger problem. Rather than ignore people's differences, if we acknowledge and accept them, we can move forward from our racist past and present more readily. Here's an article about why colorblindness is actually very hurtful to people of color. You obviously care a lot about your community and that's wonderful, something we all value as librarians. One way we can continue caring about one another is laying the foundation and opening up dialogue, regardless of whether our community "needs" it. More than likely, there are things to be discussed in your community, even if it's a preemptive conversation and there are no overt racist actions. As a nation, things are obviously very tense right now and the library provides a unique avenue for us to hold community forums and provide a space for conversation and community support. As both a librarian and a historian, it feels important here to note that racism is not just about overt actions. White supremacy has affected loans, education, policing, and mass incarceration. If you have any questions about systemic racism, the Center for Racial Justice put together a very helpful video series that might answer some of your questions. Here are some more resources for you: Teaching for Tolerance published a panel article for white people about how we can actively be anti-racist . As we know as stakeholders in knowledge, continuing education is always good! Here's an interesting take from two psychologists who explain how racism has changed and what white people can do with other white people to ensure we have the best society for everyone. Sometimes this involves building upon foundation already laid. What have we got to lose by educating ourselves and continually striving for a society that works for everyone? I've sent this to the listserv in case others could benefit from these resources, but please feel free to contact me off list if you have any other questions. I understand the instinct to be protective of our communities and defensive in light of heavy topics, especially when things are tense, but please take the time to review some of these resources. As we know- knowledge is always power.

Ended up with about 140 glasses, after sharing with other DPL branches and handing out a very few to others. It was hard to count people as they were in and out and roaming the whole time. People were great about sharing glasses. We also made pinhole viewers, and showed how a colander makes a multiple viewer. And had NASA's coverage streaming. Kids and some adults made viewers, decorated hats, made their own eclipse with coffee filters, and did a space-related craft from Arts and Scraps. I found it interesting how quickly people melted away after the eclipse reached its peak. They weren't interested in watching the shadow recede.

We had 200 pairs, and we said we would be giving them away at our eclipse viewing party beginning at 1 p.m. People started to line up at 7:30 and demanded I give them out now. They all had a sob story. Meanwhile back in the building two people are needed to answer all the phone calls about glasses. In the last week we have probably had a thousand phone calls about eclipse glasses. So I had angry people who didn't get any screaming at me from the end of line, and at least one nasty post on facebook - I had to work its not fair. The people at the viewing party who had them were wonderful about sharing with those who didn't, and everyone tried out the pinhole viewing boxes. After this experience I am not sure I would do this again. All anger about not enough glasses, very little appreciation. It's been a long time since I spent most of my work day outside.

We also ran out of glasses to give away long before the event but we saved 100 to share on the day. Due to the large number of calls we were receiving we re-evaluated how we planned to handle the safety glasses giveaway and we increased the number of snacks and drinks we planned to pass out. The people in attendance far outnumbered the glasses that we had available but people were very good about sharing. Our local high school robotics team had some wonderful eclipse related activities in our large community room with outdoor activities on the patio as well. We had our telescopes with filters available, made sun cookies, invited people to contribute to a large painting of the sun, and had other activities outside the building. We had a few negative comments but the positive comments far outweighed the negative. We would happily do this again using what we have learned this time make the next event even more enjoyable.

We survived. Ended up with about 140 glasses, after sharing with other DPL branches and handing out a very few to others. It was hard to count people as they were in and out and roaming the whole time. People were great about sharing glasses. We also made pinhole viewers, and showed how a colander makes a multiple viewer. And had NASA's coverage streaming. Kids and some adults made viewers, decorated hats, made their own eclipse with coffee filters, and did a space-related craft from Arts and Scraps. I found it interesting how quickly people melted away after the eclipse reached its peak. They weren't interested in watching the shadow recede.

The phones rang non-stop all Monday morning (not to mention the 1,000s of calls the previous week). I was astounded at the turnout. At our event we handed out one pair of glasses per family or per party - to make them last. We asked that people return the glasses when they left the library grounds so other people could get a glimpse. We estimate we had about 600 people in attendance. Everyone shared marvelously. We only had a few grumpy people that were upset with us for not having enough glasses and for not being allowed to take them off grounds. All in all it was a great turnout - most everyone was truly appreciative of us providing them the viewing venue. I would definitely do this again - but I would save all the glasses for our event!

We went out to bid for a service that could meet this need for the Michigan eLibrary and opted to change vendors. We're now using EBSCO's Full Text Finder. It includes the ability to both search and browse for titles. While searching, a keyword suggestion drop-down menu will appear to assist you. Once you have a list of results you can refine your search via facets located on the left hand side of the screen that include the ability to limit via various subjects, to peer-reviewed journals and by resource type such as "report" or "newsletter." Just like with the former A-Z list, once you have a result Full Text Finder will show you each database in MeL that contains access to that title, the years available, and a link to reach it. The browsing list contains subject areas such as Health & Medicine or Religion & Philosophy and shows you how many titles apply that area (in the case of Health & Medicine the number is over 1,700!). You can view a video of the new service here. Full Text Finder is available from the MeL homepage where it is labeled "Magazines and Newspapers." Happy reading! Brought to you by Deb Renee Biggs and Sonya Schryer Norris, Library Consultants at the Library of Michigan MeL databases are available to Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.

(see Mi Atty Gen Op 6643 6/14/1990, Mi Atty Gen Op 6862 7/28/1995) HOWEVER, the legal authority I have seen seems to lean against extra compensation for a public employee ? unless that extra compensation is included within the employment agreement or contract of the employee (in other words if the current employment arrangement already include the possibility of bonuses.). I suggest that you contact your library attorney or municipal attorney. Additionally your auditor or municipal; treasurer may also be able to confirm this and advise you. Please don?t hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance! Sincerely, Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

The Board seeks a creative and visionary leader - an innovative and energetic administrator - skilled in communicating, listening, and responding - committed to expanding and enhancing library services and programs. The Library's newly adopted strategic plan, My Library 2020, focuses on strengthening and improving six key areas: learning opportunities, community presence, collections and spaces, technology, staff and fiscal stewardship. PLYMC is a county-wide system serving 238,823 residents, governed by a 15-member Board and supported by a stellar staff of 169 FTE, a $15.5 annual operating budget, a $30 million Building and Repair Fund and an 11-member Leadership Team. Both the community and the Library are poised for success. As a not-for-profit corporation with a renewable tax levy exclusively dedicated to public library services (approved in 2013), State of Ohio Funding and a strong and growing Foundation, the Library operates 16 locations serving diverse communities from urban core to rural. Entrepreneur magazine (2009) identified Youngstown/Mahoning County, as one of the top 10 communities in the U.S. for starting a business. Forbes magazine (2011) called the metro area as "One of the Best Cities for Jobs" in the U.S.--adding to its earlier recognition as one of the "Best Bang for Your Buck" metro areas in the country. Contributing to these accolades are young dynamic political leaders and thriving tech ventures like the Youngstown Business Incubator. In addition, Youngstown State University, a growing arts and cultural environment, a beautiful parks system and being one of the most affordable places in the nation to live and work make the County an attractive location. For more information on the Library and the Youngstown region, visit PLYMC Links. Responsibilities.

How much do you charge per item in late fees? $1 a day. 10. How well have the games circulated? Extremely extremely well. Magar, Jonah Hello Ms. Bennett, I work with a video game collection at Michigan State University Libraries. Please see my responses below each question. 1. What formats do you circulate (Wii, Playstation 4, Xbox, etc.) We circulate games for the following platforms, but only for use on our equipment, within the library building: Nintendo N64, GameCube, Wii Sony PS2, PS3 Microsoft Xbox, Xbox 360 Sega Saturn, Dreamcast PC, Mac We plan to add Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One, as well as handhelds (myriad Game Boy models, PSP/Vita, etc.) in the future. 2. How long do they circulate for? 4 hours; renewals are allowed as long as we?re open and nobody else has asked for that particular game. 3. Do you keep the actual items on the shelves or do you keep the games in a staff-only area to be placed in the cases upon checkout? Game items lie behind a staffed desk; consoles, CRT and LCD TVs and peripherals are in locked, reservable rooms; PCs are in a public space. 4. Do you have age restrictions on games? No. 5. Do you purchase games that have higher age ratings on them (M for mature, etc.)? Yes. 6. How do you package the games? 6x9? clasp envelopes contain both the games (inside paper sleeves) and accompanying media (instruction manuals, etc.) 7. How do you determine which games to purchase? At this time, we do not purchase games. We have an enormous cataloging backlog due to all of the items we own being donated at once. 8. If you are part of a cooperative, do you allow your games to be interloaned or checked out by patrons who don't belong to your library? At this time, we do not. 9. How much do you charge per item in late fees? $1/hour 10. How well have the games circulated? They enjoy relatively consistent use, but we are still getting the word out for recreational use, as well as pushing academic applications while expanding the number of courses that have game-specific assignments in their syllabi. I personally hope that we will eventually allow certain games to check out for longer periods and be taken home by patrons. Please don?t hesitate to contact me with any further questions! I also wouldn?t mind being a part of the list you sent this survey to, if that?s something you could direct me to join. The original message from michlib-l at mcls.org was forwarded to me by a colleague. Mimi Herrington 1.

Do you purchase games that have higher age ratings on them (M for mature, etc.)? WE BUY UP TO MATURE. WE DON?T BUY MATURE. 6. How do you package the games? WE PUT THEM IN JEWEL CASES 7. How do you determine which games to purchase? GOOD QUESTION. I TOOK 2 KIDS TO THE STORE WITH ME ON MY LAST BIG PURCHASE. I HAVEN?T KEPT THINGS AS UP TO DATE AS I WOULD LIKE LATELY, BECAUSE I?M NOT SURE WHICH SYSTEM TO BUY FOR. 8. If you are part of a cooperative, do you allow your games to be interloaned or checked out by patrons who don't belong to your library? WE ARE NOT MAPPED WITH OUR MICHIGAN SYSTEM TO ALLOW INTERLOAN. THAT WOULD REQUIRE UPDATING OUR MARC RECORDS SO THAT THEY ARE ACCEPTABLE TO THE STATE SYSTEM. 9. How much do you charge per item in late fees? $1 PER DAY 10. How well have the games circulated? THEY USED TO CIRCULATE WELL BUT THAT HAS GONE DOWN IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. Tera Telaska 1. What formats do you circulate (Wii, Playstation 4, Xbox, etc.) We circulate Wii, Wii U, PS3, Xbox, and Game cube. They are pricey and we only purchase a few a year. I will probably start getting more PS4 games within the year or so. I try not to buy to many of a brand new system because not everyone has that system yet. 2. How long do they circulate for? 1 week 3. Do you keep the actual items on the shelves or do you keep the games in a staff-only area to be placed in the cases upon checkout? We keep them behind the circulation desk. 4. Do you have age restrictions on games? No age restrictions 5. Do you purchase games that have higher age ratings on them (M for mature, etc.)? We do have a few M games but don?t make a habit of buying them. 6. How do you package the games? We leave them in their original case but take out the instructions (if they have helpful info), make a copy and leave the original at the library. 7. How do you determine which games to purchase? I personally have a 10 and 12 year old and try to get their input on what is in when I make my purchases. Lego and Mario games are always a hit. You could ask your teens, pre-teen and older kids what they would like to see purchased. 8. If you are part of a cooperative, do you allow your games to be interloaned or checked out by patrons who don't belong to your library? We are part of a consortium, and do not let our games leave the county. We have 5 branches within Presque Isle County and share them between the branches. We leave the items on reference and do a special check out date when they are being taken out. 9. How much do you charge per item in late fees? $1 a day after the due date with a $5 maximum fine. 10. How well have the games circulated? Very well! Kids and parents love them and they all get good checkouts. We also have a video store that resurfaces our discs when they are scratched and will not play. They charge a few dollars each disc cleaned. Judith McIntosh Hi Kelly, 1. Wii, Wii U, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, Nintendo DS and a few Switch games. 2. Games go out for 7 days. Two renewals allowed if there are no holds. Limit of 5. 3. Only the cases are kept on the shelf. All discs (or cartridges) are kept behind the circ desk until item is checked out 4. No age restrictions 5. We do purchase the games for everyone as well as games for mature players. We have created a system whereby the everyone games have a small green dot sticker on the spines and the mature games have a yellow dot sticker. We separate the 2 levels when shelving and put the yellow dots on the higher shelves so the little ones can't reach the yellow dot games without some kind of supervision. (Not sure if that does any good or not.) 6. All but the DS games are just in DVD-size cases. DS games are in smaller boxes. 7. I believe the librarian follows trends and predictions on which games will be popular and goes from that. 8. We are part of TLN and, no, we do not allow games to be interloaned. However, if a person comes in to checkout, we don't limit it by residence in any way. 9. Late fees are $1.00/day to a max of $10.00 10. As with any part of the collection, it seems some titles are extremely popular while others sit there. Our librarian is keeping an eye on what circs and what doesn't for future purchasing guidelines. COO Jackie Endres Hi Kelly, Coopersville Library has a video game collection. 1. What formats do you circulate (Wii, Playstation 4, Xbox, etc.) We actually just weeded our old games. We got rid of our PS2 and GameCube games and some of our older PC games (we don't have many PC games). Otherwise we have XBOX One, XBOX 360, 3DS, Wii, WiiU, PS3, and PS4. The games we weeded were ones that had been re-released on newer systems. We haven't acquired an Switch games yet, but that's mostly due to the fact that there aren't many Switch-only games yet. 2. How long do they circulate for? We charge for our video game (and movie) rentals. It costs $1/week to check out a video game, and you can have it for up to 3 weeks at ta time. 3. Do you keep the actual items on the shelves or do you keep the games in a staff-only area to be placed in the cases upon checkout? We used to keep the discs behind the desk, but recently,we've switched to keeping them in the same locked cases we use for our dvds. 4. Do you have age restrictions on games? We treat our videogames very similarly to our movies. You have to be 18+ to get a mature rated game, but other than that, we don't police. 5. Do you purchase games that have higher age ratings on them (M for mature, etc.)? We do purchase some M rated games, although most of our games are younger rated. It mostly boils down to our audience. Our hottest games are Cabela hunting games. Although we do circ a ton of lego games as well. 6. How do you package the games? We pull the manuals. They're mostly unnecessary and too easy to lose. Then we take the insert for the game, put it in the cover of the lockable dvd case. We barcode and sticker the case; sticker the disc and write the barcode on it. 7. How do you determine which games to purchase? I (the youth librarian) am "in charge" of our video game collection. I use that term very loosely because we're small enough that if someone else felt we needed a video game, they would feel comfortable purchasing it; I got the job because I am most familiar with videogames. I try to snag new, popular games. ones that have been reviewed or rated really high, or ones you see a lot in walkthroughs on youtube. Otherwise, like I said, it's all about what your patrons want. We have a group of kids who make regular requests and hunting games always go over well. 8. If you are part of a cooperative, do you allow your games to be interloaned or checked out by patrons who don't belong to your library? We are part of the lakeland library cooperative. Right now, the cooperative only circulates books and audiobooks, but I know that in the fall, we're going to start circulating movies. I don't THINK we'll circulate our video games because we pretty much use our proceeds from our video games to buy our video games, and we would lose that if we interloaned them. 9. How much do you charge per item in late fees? We charge our book overdues which is $0.15/day overdue. 10. How well have the games circulated? We have some that go out like crazy (see Cabelas) and we have some that aren't so popular. For the most part though, feel like the majority of our collection circulates with decent regularity. Hope that helps! Anne Keller Hi Kelly, I saw your request on Mich-lib and thought I'd respond. I remember years ago at a conference a librarian was shocked that our library would have "video games...in a library?" I wonder if people were ever "DVDs....in a library?" Well, here are my answers.... 1. We circulate PS3 & PS4, Xbox One, Wii, Wii U and Nintendo Switch. 2. Our video games circulate for 3 weeks, limit 5 per card. They are renewable. 3. We keep the games on the shelves, just moved to the teen section in locking cases that have to be unlocked at the circulation desk. 4. We have no age restrictions on games. 5. Our video games are rated T or below. We do not purchase Mature games. 6. We put them in locking cases similar to DVD size. 7. I order the games on Amazon. I try to get new releases and the sports ones are very popular. 8. We don't inter loan video games. Only our cardholders may check them out. 9. 10 cents a day for late fees. 10. The games circulate well and are popular. The Wii U are not very popular. The new Nintendo Switch games are very expensive, they only have released a limited amount so far, I just purchased them and they are not processed yet but will be soon. We use to circulate PS2 and Xbox 360 but we weeded those as newer formats became available and they didn't circulate as often. Hope that helps. Having video games has sure helped lure teens into the Library so then we can show them all the other cool stuff we offer. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
