I apologize for the previous message, I have brain fog this morning, and I was not clear about what topic the committee would like the speaker to address. The committee would like to have a speaker who can talk about dealing with difficult patrons. Joyce Betz Staff Development and Training Coordinator Jackson District Library 244 W.

Looking for a speaker
by Betz, Joyce 20 May '15

I am working with a committee to plan an All Staff Day in August for the Jackson District Library. I do not have a lot of detail about what want specifically, but They are meeting on June 2, and I was hoping I would have something to share with them. I am hoping that some of you may have some experience in speaking about this topic, or know someone who does. We have a small budget, and I know that it is short notice. Thank you in advance for your help. Joyce Betz Staff Development and Training Coordinator Jackson District Library 244 W. Michigan Ave. Jackson, MI 49201 517-788-4087 ext 1303 betzja(a)myjdl.com

MAP Video
by Jim Flury 20 May '15

20 May '15

All, Our mission statement at TLN is as follows: "To provide and facilitate quality services developed through collaboration of our member libraries." MAP is an excellent, expanded, statewide example of the TLN mission statement in action. Plenty of collaboration, not to mention work, some of it actually pretty hard work :), has gone into the development of this program. But all work and no play makes MAP a dull boy, and I believe you would agree that the goal of MAP is for library patrons to have fun. TLN Executive Director Jim Pletz decided that MAP needed to have fun, too. So TLN Senior Delivery Driver Alex Thomas produced a MAP video, which we encourage you to watch, have fun, and share. The (human) stars are Damon Dye and Mike Vela from TLN. Scenes were shot at The Library Network, Trenton Veterans Memorial Library, Detroit Institute of Arts, Michigan Science Center, and Yankee Air Museum. To indulge, go to the TLN homepage http://tln.lib.mi.us/ scroll down to The Michigan Activity Pass in Action, click the play button, and enjoy! Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us
