MAP: Three Times The Fun This Year, Vs. Last Year
by Jim Flury 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

All, I am very pleased to share the news that by the end of the day today, Michigan's public library patrons will have checked out THREE TIMES as many MAP Passes in the 10 months since the program renewed last May, as was the case for the entire previous twelve month period! Give yourselves a round of applause, as your promotion and publicity is really making the difference here. And it isn't just museum passes, either. Per this article that appeared in the March 20 edition of the Detroit Free Press, libraries all across Michigan have a variety of other neat things to lend, too: http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/macomb/2016/03/20/libraries-… Speaking of MAP promotion, earlier today I got an email from a library staff member who works at a public library in the southwestern part of the state. She wanted to tell me that she had used our PowerPoint presentation to introduce MAP to one of her local cultural institutions. Her program was so well received that the institution said they were planning to send their signed MAP agreement to me right away! Finally, we are talking to a potential new MAP partner that, if we are able to secure an agreement with this organization, would result in a huge increase in MAP publicity and attendance. I'm not going to name the potential partner at this time. But it is one of those places that everybody likes to go :) Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Flury 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

background check follow-up
by Stacy Pasche 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

I posted a week or so ago regarding background check services. Here is what I learned: Of the libraries who respnded, several are using the INternet Criminal History Access Tool (ICHAT) through the Michigan State Police. This service is free to libraries and you can apply at https://www.michigan.go*v/ichat* <https://www.michigan.gov/> Also: "Sentrylink for nationwide background checks, and Mi IChat for Michigan." "We use Rehmann. My contact is Anne McDonald. anne.mcdonald(a)rehmann.com Last time we used them standard background check was $150. This includes driving record check. I believe this includes a county criminal check, but you will have to verify it. " *"Credential Check"* -- Stacy Pasche, Assistant Library Director *"Sometimes it's fun to do the impossible." -Walt Disney*

Please see below for information on an April 13th USDA webinar about libraries and museum participation in the Summer Meals program. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> March 22, 2016 Hello - We wanted to share with you the information below about an upcoming USDA-hosted Webinar on "Libraries & Museums Serving Summer Meals" to be held on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern). Could you please share this information with any organizations that you think may be interested? The information below includes a link to register for the Webinar. Thank you for sharing the information below with your Summer meals contacts who may be interested in participating in this Webinar. - Sandra [cid:image002.jpg@01D18363.DD537450]<http://www.readytalk.com/> Libraries & Museums Serving Free Summer Meals [Register for Event]<https://cc.readytalk.com/r/n2ltg4m34c1p&eom> or click here to register<https://cc.readytalk.com/r/n2ltg4m34c1p&eom> ________________________________ Meeting Description: USDA's Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) provides free, nutritious meals to kids & teens 18 years old and younger in low-income communities during summer break. The program depends on community organizations like libraries and museums to serve the meals in a safe, convenient, and fun environment. The challenge for the program is having enough of these sites that serve summer meals. In some communities there are only a few or no places that serve summer meals. Libraries and museums are perfect sites because they are well-known, safe, and can add fun learning activities. Please join this webinar to learn more about how your library or museum can get involved. There will be ample time for you to ask questions and share ideas.
