For more information and to register, visit: http://www.booklistonline.com/webinars Wednesday, June 15 (1-2 pm) Achieving Buy-In for Your Volunteer Program (4Good) https://4good.org/explore/latest/webinars In an ideal world, your nonprofit's staff would know how to supervise volunteers and create new and purposeful opportunities for them. Getting your co-workers to that point takes buy-in. Achieving buy-in is one of the qualities that separates managers from leaders. It means standing by your vision and communicating it in a way that influences others. In this webinar, we will look at six key principles of buy-in and apply them to a typical volunteer management scenario.

The process will be gone over in complete detail.

Family Groupings in ILS
by Margaret Bentley 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

We will be moving to a new ILS later this summer. The new system allows us to set up family groupings so that staff can be notified automatically if someone else in the family owes money or has overdue materials. * Does anyone have a policy on how they are using a similar feature? * Do you have a form or release which you require the adults to sign in regard to the Michigan Privacy Act? * Do you require problems to be resolved if spouses have agreed to release information to their husband/wife but have separate cards. This is information we have not been able to keep in the past so any help would be appreciated. -- Margaret Bentley Adult Services Librarian Shiawassee District Library--Owosso 502 W.
