3D Printer Open House 1/14/16
by Carol Souchock 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

Our library is considering purchasing a 3D printer in 2016 and I asked MOS to offer provide this educational opportunity to assist us . Your library is welcome to attend this event in Novi, MI . MOS (Michigan Office Solutions) will be hosted at 3D printer informational day on Thursday January 14 at their office in Novi. Open House (drop in) for all from 10 am - 12 pm One on one consults with MOS 3D printer expert Matt Pickens are also available. To register your library for a one on one consult please contact Matt Talbot at Matt.Talbot(a)mos-xerox.com mobile 248-602-1239 To give you a little background information on what will take place at this event: Per Matt Pickens from MOS...."Typically when we do an open house like this, I discuss existing 3D technologies. This usually takes 20-30 minutes discussing background on the industry and the ways we get prints now. After which, we look at sample parts we’ve printed and discuss the machines we have in the demo room. The one on one sessions can be conducted however the library would like. If you have specific questions pertaining to capabilities, materials, pricing structure, etc., we can discuss it at that time. It is easier to have the more detailed conversations in smaller groups." Location: MOS is located at 40000 Grand River, Suite 500, Novi Thank you, Carol Souchock Library Director Plymouth District Library http://plymouthlibrary.org 734-453-0750 , ext. 218 csouchock(a)plymouthlibrary.org Carol Souchock Library Director Plymouth District Library http://plymouthlibrary.org 734-453-0750, ext. 218 csouchock(a)plymouthlibrary.org

funding idea for Library as a Comfort Station
by McConnell,Sherri 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

This is response to Lisa Waskins's comment: "I would like to develop an entire protocol and playbook for future emergencies too. I am thinking this might be a huge opportunity to set up a network across the state of resources between libraries as well. Perhaps there is even grant money in something like this?" Lisa, Check out the Community Engagement Award funded by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, http://nnlm.gov/gmr/funding/cea. Public libraries can apply for it, and one of the focus areas for the grant is "Planning or promoting emergency preparedness, response and recovery in the community or in partnership with community-based organization(s)". A 2016 deadline has not been posted, but you can email for more details. It sounds like what you want to do fits right in.
