OverDrive Training Materials
by Dillon Geshel 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hello, I am looking for any resources librarians may have created for training library staff on using OverDrive to download digital materials. I have been utilizing the OverDrive Help page to draft some training materials on my own, but I thought I'd check and see if anyone has created their own materials I could use for reference. If you have worked with library staff on OverDrive training, I would also be interested in hearing how you structure that staff training, and what type of activities staff take part in during training. Thank you, Dillon -- Dillon Geshel Library Director Portage Lake District Library 58 Huron Street, Houghton MI (906)-482-4570

National Runaway Safeline Pt. 2
by Mary J 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hi Team, Sorry, I got the wrong link for the free promotional materials: https://www.1800runaway.org/free-promotional-materials/ National Runaway Safeline also has a free curriculum about alternatives to running away. "*Let’s Talk:Runaway Prevention Curriculum *is a free, evidence-based <http://www.1800runaway.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/RPC-Evidence-Based-Pa…>, interactive, 14 module curriculum intended to educate young people about alternatives to running away as well as to build life skills so that youth can resolve problems without resorting to running away or unsafe behavior. " The link to it is here: http://www.1800runaway.org/runaway-prevention-curriculum-sign-up/ In addition NRS has "Kids Call" where their prevention specialist will lead a group discussion. It is "a hands-on way for youth to learn more about the issues that youth in crisis face and the solutions available to them- straight from the NRS front line team of staff and volunteers. Kids Call helps participants further grasp what runaway and homeless youth are going through, as well as familiarize themselves with NRS’ services in case they, or anyone they know, end up in crisis. We’ll answer questions such as: “How long are runaways gone? What makes someone run away? What can I do instead of running away?” the link is here: https://www.1800runaway.org/providers-educators/kids-call/ <https://www.1800runaway.org/providers-educators/kids-call/> Thanks again!

Last call: 4 person computer station free
by Melissa Huisman 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

I thought I’d try one more time before it went to the dumpster. Anyone want this? I’d say it is roughly five feet deep by six feet wide and regular table height. Melissa From: Melissa Huisman Sent: Friday, July 01, 2016 9:30 AM To: michlib-l(a)mcls.org Subject: 4 person computer station free Hi! Free for any library that wants it - 4 station computer unit. The monitors are sunk inside and sit on little shelves and the keyboards are on trays. Both the monitor stands and the keyboard trays can be removed and you’d just have a normal table but with 4 glass panels on the surface. Also, the frosted privacy glass was added later and can be removed. Chairs aren’t included. You’d have to come here and pick it up. It fits in the back of an SUV when taken apart. And it is already all taken apart. Thanks! From: Melissa Huisman Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2016 10:07 AM To: Melissa Huisman <mhuisman(a)hudsonville.org<mailto:mhuisman@hudsonville.org>> Subject:
