by David Votta 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

The Library of Michigan<http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan> and MCLS are pleased to promote a second round of our several-month long community engagement training program for Michigan library staff. The training will be led by coaches from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation<http://www.theharwoodinstitute.org/> . It will be robust, extensive, and is being offered at no charge to selected Michigan libraries, with generous stipends provided through Library of Michigan LSTA funding. The program On October 5-6, 2016, a cohort of up to 50 Michigan library staff will convene in Lansing, Michigan for a 1.5 day workshop led by two certified Harwood Institute coaches. That training will be followed up by nine months of coaching calls from Harwood, and guidance and support from Harwood trained Library of Michigan and MCLS staff. The Harwood Public Innovators Workshop is a 1.5 day experience to help you and your organization learn what it means to turn outward - to use the community, not your conference room, as your reference point for choices and action. Although free of charge to participate, this program will be rigorous. With support and guidance from MCLS and the Library of Michigan, cohort members are expected to develop action plans, implement those plans, and demonstrate how their efforts are making a change in their communities. Only those who can commit the time and energy are encouraged to participate. The Library of Michigan and MCLS have been using the tools of the Harwood Institute and sharing them with libraries since 2013. We are excited to be able to support training for a cohort of Michigan library staff. Eligibility * Applicants must be an employee or trustee of a Michigan library. * Applicants may be from any type of library; academic, public, school, institutional or special. * A maximum of 2 persons per library will be awarded scholarships. * It is strongly encouraged that applications include two persons.

The award * Those awarded this opportunity will receive free tuition for the training and follow-up support. * Those awarded will receive stipends for two nights hotel lodging (strongly encouraged October 4 and 5) and travel expenses. The stipends will be on a sliding scale depending on the distance of travel from Lansing, MI: * Zone 1 (Less than 100 miles from Lansing, MI) the library will receive $395 for a single person, and an additional $295 for the second. It is encouraged to carpool to conserve resources. * Zone 2 (100-250 miles from Lansing, MI) the library will receive $545 for a single person, and an additional $295 for the second.

Wonderful Folk concert
by Wendy Mutch 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Librarians, Tonight my library hosted Andy and Judy Daigle, New England singers and songwriters. My 46 attendees were thrilled by the show--the entertainment includes witty stories about the writing of the songs, some audience participation, and some traditional favorite tunes. If you are within driving distance of Traverse City, I would encourage you to make a visit to Traverse Area District Library tomorrow night to hear the duo sing: https://www.tadl.org/event/peninsula/2016/06/21/picnic-pcl Wendy Mutch Northville District Library

armoractive.com - ipad security
by Melissa Huisman 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Hi! Is anyone using the armoractive products to lock down their ipad airs for public use? http://www.armoractive.com/products/ipad-pos-kiosk/iPadAir.aspx The question is - is there a way to make them secure without affixing them in one place on the desk? I really don't want to drill holes. I'm thinking a hard protective case with a Kensington lock and perhaps an optional stand. Thanks!
