Smart Board recommendations
by Hull,Betsy 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

Any suggestions for a brand and or vendor for a Smart Board? Any questions I should ask a vendor other than how much does it cost and how does it plug in? Any compatibility problems to be aware of? This would be used for all sorts of different programs for all ages. You may reply directly to me @ hullb(a)cadl.org, if you don't want to share your post. Thanks. Betsy Hull, Head Librarian Capital Area District Libraries - Okemos 4321 Okemos Road, Okemos, MI 48864 517-347-2031 www.cadl.org

Left Over Book Sale Books
by Keegan Sulecki 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

Hi Everyone, Our Friends of the Library is interested in exploring more options for what to do with books left over after our book sales. We already have a process where we check to see if books are of enough value to sell online and we of course try and recycle leftovers at the end. What our Friends are interested in is finding out if there are any opportunities to get these books into the hands of people or organizations that might benefit. There is even a possibility that our Friends would be able to deliver the books. If you have any thoughts on who we should reach out to, we would greatly appreciate it your thoughts and ideas. Please send your thoughts to our director, Lori Coryell at lcoryell(a)chelseadistrictlibrary.org Sincerely, Keegan -- Keegan Sulecki Head of Adult Services Chelsea District Library 221 S. Main St. Chelsea, MI 48118 734.475.8732 ext. 218 chelseadistrictlibrary.org

News Release: Dozens More Michigan Libraries Selected to Participate in Harwood Public Innovation Training
by Jan Davidson 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

Dozens More Michigan Libraries Selected to Participate in Harwood Public Innovation Training In partnership with the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation and the Library of Michigan, the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) announced today that 50 individuals from over two dozen Michigan libraries were selected to undergo a 10-month public innovation training regimen. The program kicks off with a 1.5-day workshop led by Harwood Institute certified coaches, October 5-6, 2016. 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 designed to help individuals and organizations learn what it means to Turn Outward - to use the community, not the conference room, as a reference point for choices and action. A goal of this initiative is to help libraries strengthen their role as core community leaders and change-agents. The selected libraries represent a spectrum of library types, sizes and geographic locations in Michigan, all with a common goal to engage more deeply in their communities. The following libraries were selected: * Airport Community Schools Libraries * Alpena County Library * Bad Axe Area District Library * Bedford Public Schools Libraries * Benzonia Public Library * Branch District Library * Caro Area District Library * Chesterfield Township Library * East Lansing Public Library * Ferris State University * Grand Valley State University * Hastings Public Library * Howell Carnegie District Library * Jackson District Library * Lansing Community College * Lawrence Technological University * Michigan Technological University * Milan Public Library * Monroe County Library System * Muskegon Area District Library * Pathfinder Community Library * Plymouth-Canton Community Schools * Portage District Library * Portage Lake District Library * Presque Isle District Library * Putnam District Library * Redford Township District Library * Salem-South Lyon District Library * Western Michigan University [IMLS logo.png] This project is supported by the Library of Michigan with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Thank you.
