Program Evaluations
by Keegan Sulecki 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Hi Everyone, At Chelsea District Library we have paper evaluations we provide at every program that we use to get feedback from our attendees regarding what they thought of the program and also get ideas for future programs. At a recent management meeting, we discussed how our current form is not really effective in prompting our patrons to share actionable thoughts or ideas or even providing us with statistics to show us the impact our programs might be having on the community. We would really like to revamp this evaluation form and provide more options for patrons to give feedback, for instance, a digital evaluation in addition to paper. If any other libraries do regular evaluation forms during programs, we would really appreciate the opportunity to see what your forms look like. We would also love to hear any thoughts you have on what parts of your form help you collect important and actionable feedback from the community or determine if the program offered real enrichment to those who attended. Thanks so much! Keegan -- Keegan Sulecki Head of Adult Services Chelsea District Library 221 S. Main St. Chelsea, MI 48118 734.475.8732 ext. 218 chelseadistrictlibrary.org

Michigan Activity Pass: Halfway There!
by Jim Flury 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

All, I am pleased to share with you that, a week shy of three months into this new MAP season (we went live May 24), you have now circulated half as many MAP passes as was the case for the previous twelve months (May 24, 2015 through May 23, 2016) combined. The number of hits to the MAP website for the first three months of 2016-2017 stands at a bit over 220,000. And our social media coordinator reports that the MAP Facebook page has now garnered in excess of 3,500 likes. This is all great news! Give yourselves a pat on the back, or a round of applause, or eat a handful of pistachios (that's what I would do) to celebrate. Going forward, let's keep it going! Although the start of school may be looming on the horizon (indeed, school started yesterday in the district where we live, which meant we could hear an even lighter pin dropping in our so quiet you can hear a pin drop neighborhood), most still have time to squeeze in a couple more weeks of family fun before the work begins. So keep that MAP promotion going! One operational piece of information. Emily Lake State Forest Campground http://www.michigandnr.com/parksandtrails/Details.aspx?id=639&type=SFCG is closed until further notice on account damage from recent storms that hit the area. Emily Lake State Forest Campground is located about halfway between Ontonogan and Baraga, just south of Twin Lakes State Park https://www.google.com/maps/place/Emily+Lake/@46.7262121,-89.1749654,8.92z/… We have made note of the closure on the More Info tab for this venue on the MAP website. We will update the MAP website when the storm damage has been repaired and Emily Lake State Forest Campground re-opens for campers. 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
