Reminder: Detroit Zoo Coupons for Summer Reading Now Available!
Once again, The Detroit Zoological Society is providing promo codes for a free children's ticket (with the purchase of an adult ticket) prize for completing summer reading goals. Tickets must be purchased online using the link provided on each regional flyer. Tickets must be purchased between June 1-August 31st, however those tickets can be scheduled for a Zoo visit through December 31, 2023.
Due to the Zoo's need for data, there are different codes for various regions and the easiest way for them to create those regions was based on the Michigan Library Cooperatives map<https://i0.wp.com/micoops.info/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mi_coop_map_2020-scaled.jpg?ssl=1>.
Please print and distribute flyers to pass to patrons who have completed a reading goal according to the region in which your library is located. These links are not for sharing out publicly.

You can also have your library follow them on social: https://www.facebook.com/misupremecourt/ or https://twitter.com/misupremecourt.
The MI Supreme Court Learning Center also has lots of Educational Resources<https://www.courts.michigan.gov/courts/supreme-court/learning-center/educational-resources/educator-newsletter/> about courts for students (elementary and up) and the general public.

ALSC's Trauma-Informed Supervision for Library Leaders Webinar Series
Details & Registration<https://elearning.ala.org/local/catalog/view/product.php?productid=932>
It is not uncommon for library workers to be exposed to primary or vicarious trauma over the course of their career. According to the recent Urban Library Trauma Study, nearly 70% of respondents shared that they had experienced violent or aggressive behavior from patrons, while 22% indicated that they experienced similar behavior from their own coworkers. Through an understanding of trauma-informed practices, library administrators and managers can better support staff in their service to the public while fostering an organizational culture of safety, trust, and inclusion. In this two-part webinar series, participants will learn various trauma-informed approaches and explore how to apply these concepts within their own library.
