Priceless Photo Preservation Feedback
by Kimberly Schaaf 20 May '14

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has hosted this workshop (Rob Hoffman and Hann Stelman from Ann Arbor) and how it turned out. I was concerned about it being too sales-pitchy. Thanks in advance for any comments! -- Kimberly Schaaf Librarian Springfield Twp. Library 12000 Davisburg Rd. Davisburg MI, 48350 248-846-6550

Michigan Activity Pass: You Can Help Recruit!
by Jim Flury 20 May '14

20 May '14

All, The second year of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program begins this Saturday, May 24, 2014 at http://michiganactivitypass.info As of today we have 106 participating venues. 53 of these are renewals from this year's 62 participants, while 53 are new partners to MAP. Of the nine current partners that are not (yet) included in MAP Year 2, none of them has contacted me to say they are NOT interested. Rather, they haven't responded to my inquiries. How can you help bring these "lost" partners back to the MAP fold? Well, if your library is located in or near the community of any of these nine venues, and particularly if you have an "in" with any of them, please feel free to reach out to them on behalf of MAP! We are looking for help with: http://www.troyhistoricvillage.org/ http://www.scarabclub.org/ http://www.thecarrcenter.org/ https://www.historicprisontours.com/ http://www.midwestminiaturesmuseum.com/ http://www.maryscityofdavid.org/ http://www.wexfordcountyhistory.org/ http://www.baymillsbrimleyhistory.org/ http://www.skihall.com/ What if, after you've reached out to these partners and sold them on the many benefits MAP provides to their institution in terms of increased exposure and the like, they decide to re-join, but the May 24, 2014 go-live date for MAP Year 2 has already passed? No problem. We can add new partner venues at any time, as TLN has admin privileges at all levels of the MAP software. Bring 'em on! And the same goes for any other potential partner in or near your community you feel would be a good "fit" for MAP. Yesterday, IMLS released a report showing the number of museums by state http://www.imls.gov/assets/1/AssetManager/MUDF_StateDist_2014q3.pdf Michigan has approximately 1,100 museums. So, we have approximately 10% of these as MAP partners. Pretty good, but that means there are 1,000 others out there! Thanks for your (recruiting) help with the MAP.

Annie's Ghosts
by Matt Weston 19 May '14

19 May '14

Does anyone have extra copies of Annie's Ghosts they could give us for our One Book, One County program? I know a few of you have chosen this book for your own community programs, and at least one library had extra copies to give away recently. If so, please feel free to send them to me at the address under my name (zv088we to send via RIDES). And if anyone else chooses this book I promise to pass them on after we're done. Thanks! -- Matt Weston Branch Services Coordinator Van Buren District Library 200 N. Phelps St., Decatur MI 49045 269-423-4771

19 May '14

The Library of Michigan will be conducting surveys about MeL.org in the coming month. As part of managing our Library Services & Technology Act funds as well as maintaining and improving the Michigan eLibrary, we will have three surveys in June. One will be a random phone survey of Michigan residents. The other two will be online surveys - one for library staff at all levels and from all library types and one for library patrons. We will need your help in order to have a good response. When the surveys are available, please consider posting the library patron survey link on your web site or newsletter and also encouraging your staff to complete the library staff survey. Thank you so much for your assistance with this. I will have the survey links soon!

Fwd: Happy Monday!
by Darlene Hellenberg 19 May '14

19 May '14

Hi Everyone, We hosted The Center For Michigan's Community Conversations earlier this year and they asked me to share the results. The Center collected data from across the state and complied a report that reflects the concerns of citizens that will be passed on to legislators. The report is attached. If you're interested, The Center for MI will send your library hard copies of the report to share: "We’d also like to send up to 20 copies of this report to be made available at your library’s collection. To request your copies email Outreach Coordinator Hailey Zureich by email at hzureich(a)thecenterformichigan.net or call 734.926.4286." Thanks, -- Darlene Hellenberg Adult Services Librarian Ferndale Public Library (248) 547-6008
