Good Morning MAP Sponsors and Supporters, I wanted to share with you an email we received from the state librarian of North Carolina. Considering our current weather I am willing to travel to NC so as to provide that hands on, personal touch for MAP :) 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 ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Michigan Activity Pass" <michiganactivitypass(a)gmail.com> To: jpletz(a)tln.lib.mi.us, "Jim Flury" <jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us> Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2016 9:19:33 AM Subject: Fwd: I want to copy you! Hi Jim & Jim, Here is the message from the North Carolina State Librarian. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shepard, Caroline < cal.shepard(a)ncdcr.gov > Date: Fri, Dec 9, 2016 at 3:32 PM Subject: I want to copy you! To: " michiganactivitypass(a)gmail.com " < michiganactivitypass(a)gmail.com > Good afternoon! Public libraries in North Carolina are interested in developing a program similar to your Activity Pass program. I’ve been on your website and have reviewed lots of your materials. It’s obvious why the libraries are excited about the program. Can you provide me with information about what the benefits of such a program are for the sites involved? Many of our state sites rely on revenue for operating expenses and are, understandably, nervous about giving up any revenue. Any (and all) advice you can supply is most welcome. Thanks!

Deadline is this week! Order your Labor Law posters for 2017 now!
by Kate Pohjola Andrade 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Greetings, If you haven't reserved your poster set yet, the deadline is is this week. As you may know, the minimum wage rate in Michigan is increasing on January 1, 2017 to $8.90 per hour. The Michigan Chamber has received the final version of the 2017 Michigan Minimum Wage and Overtime poster, so the Woodlands Library Cooperative is accepting orders for the 2017 poster sets. These sets also contain the two mandatory federal updates that went into effect in August 2016 to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) notices. There have been a few questions about the FLSA updates: The FLSA poster has actually never included the salary exemption amount. The poster just contains a general overtime statement that employees should be paid 1.5 times their regular rate for any hours worked over 40 in one week. (This statement is the same as what appeared on the previous poster version.) The mandatory revision to the FLSA notice back in August was designed to add a new section on required break time for nursing mothers) and to eliminate the outdated information on the maximum fine amount for noncompliance with the law. If you are interested in taking advantage of this group purchase, each poster set is $24 and includes updates released during the coming year, which are sent to you via email. This will let you tell the many other vendors who likely hound you and your staff that you're taken care of for the year. If they keep bugging you, feel free to send 'em to me and I'll see if they can provide a better deal and keep funds in Michigan! Reserve your poster set here: https://goo.gl/forms/YRsyaM3dCOKKi1tg2 *Deadline is Friday, December 16, 2016*. We'll ship posters (and invoices) out to you as soon as we receive them. Stay warm, kate -- Kate Pohjola Andrade, Director Woodlands Library Cooperative 517-629-9469 586-801-0725 - cell/text http://woodlands.lib.mi.us
