Solicitors at library
by Helena Hayes 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Quick question for the collective... First time I've had someone want to "solicit" at the library and not sure of legalities. Woman wanted to hand out information and give a spiel about (against) the new wireless meters that Consumer's is installing. I told her that she can, but that she had to be away from the door. She was pleasant but aggressive towards people in the parking lot - made them uncomfortable. Where's the best place for me to find out what her rights are and how to protect my patrons? Thanks in advance! I appreciate your replies that are saving me time on a sunny Saturday afternoon... when I'm late meeting my kid! :->) -- Helena Hayes, MLIS, Director Galesburg Charleston Memorial District Library 188 E. Michigan Ave. Galesburg, MI 49053 269-665-7839 (phone) 269-665-7788 (fax)

National Reading Group Month Author Celebration will take place at the Berkley Public Library (3155 Coolidge in Berkley) on Tuesday, October 13 at 6:30 p.m. Free program is open to all! Please share the attached flyer with your patrons. Susan Crandall and Mardi Jo Link will take part in a Q&A moderated by local author Willetta Heising, past president of WNBA Detroit.

Susan Crandall's latest novel is a saga of 1920s barnstorming America featuring a World War I pilot, a daredevil debutante and a Midwestern farm boy. She is the award-winning author of ten other titles, including Whistling Past the Graveyard. She still lives in Noblesville, Indiana, where she grew up and met her husband. They are the parents of two and grandparents of four. Mardi Jo Link After graduating from Michigan State with a degree in journalism and agriculture, Mardi Jo Link took a job as a crime reporter for a daily paper in New England. She and her husband returned to Michigan to raise their three sons on a farm, which later resulted in her memoir, Badass, a Michigan Notable Book. Her latest memoir follows eight women to Drummond Island for one weekend a year over two decades. Hope to see you there! Matt Matt Church, Library Director Berkley Public Library 3155 Coolidge Hwy.

National Runaway Prevention Month (Nov.)
by Mary J 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

Hi Everyone! After teen read week ends in October, what can you follow it with? National Runaway Prevention Month. There are great free resources from the National Runaway Safeline (NRS), who sponsors National Runaway Prevention Month. NRS offers promotional materials free of charge. NRS wants to canvas the country to ensure every youth knows how to connect to help and hope during a crisis. http://www.1800runaway.org/free-promotional-materials/ National Runaway Safeline also has a great toolkit of ideas to promote National Runaway Prevention Month here: https://www.1800runaway.org/runaway-prevention-month/ There is also a list of resources; books, movies, documentaries, and art projects here: http://www.1800runaway.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Storytelling-toolkit.… " The National Runaway Switchboard estimates: -On any given night there are approximately 1.3 million homeless youth living unsupervised on the streets, in abandoned buildings, with friends or with strangers. -----Homeless youth are at a higher risk for physical abuse, sexual exploitation, mental health disabilities, substance abuse, and death. -It is estimated that 5,000 unaccompanied youth die each year as a result of assault, illness, or suicide.**" This is also a great opportunity to network with social service agencies and homeless prevention programs. We will are working with Off The Streets, a local shelter for youth experiencing homelessness and youth homelessness prevention services. They will host a table at our library to hand out youth homelessness prevention materials, make stress balls and distribute stress relieving coloring sheets. This will be our first year working together on this, and we hope it will get better every year! Let me know what works for you and I will compile a list and share it with the group! PS Ellen Hopkins Traffick comes out Nov. 3 and would tie in well. Mary Jo Vortkamp Children's Librarian - Franklin Branch of the Detroit Public Library
