November is National Runaway Prevention Month
by Mary Jo Vortkamp 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Hi Michigan Team, November is National Runaway Prevention Month (NRPM), spearheaded each year by the National Runaway Safeline (NRS) and National Network for Youth (NN4Y). The goals of NRPM are two-fold: -To raise awareness of the runaway and homeless youth crisis and the issues that these young people face -To educate the public about solutions and the role they can play in ending youth homelessness Keep in mind that between 1.6 and 2.8 million youth run away in a year. If all of these young people lived in one city, it would be the fifth largest city in the United States. The theme of NRPM 2017 is “Friends Helping Friends.” This theme is designed to recognize the role key people play in the lives of at-risk youth. Our goal is to unite all communities together to help support youth as they navigate their world. There are many materials to support you in promoting NRPM: -Download the NRPM 2017 ToolKit and Messaging Guide <https://www.1800runaway.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Final-NRPM-2017-Tool…> , which includes information on easy ways to get involved, event planning, fundraising, and getting the word out. -Spread the word about NRPM through a media press release with our Sample Press Release<https://www.1800runaway.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Sample-Press-Release…> -Make a request to your local elected official to sign a proclamation for NRPM.

Printer/Copier Contracts
by Sharon Crotser-Toy 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Greetings, Library Minds! We've recently seen a big price increase for both our black & white and color copies. Our printer is 8 years old, works very well but it appears the maintenance agreement is going up because of the unit's age. I'm wondering what the going (charged-to-you) rate is for b/w and color copies, and if you own or are leasing your machine(s). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is my first possible printer purchase; who knew printers could be so complicated?! ;) Thanks, in advance! -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N. Main Street Watervliet, MI 49098 269-463-6382 Connects People, Inspires Ideas, Transforms Lives

SLJ Price increase
by ConnieJo Ozinga 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

We have just been notified of a huge price increase in the cost of School Library Journal. "This is an FYI that the publisher of 801-459-009 School Library Journal is making a large price increase from $136.99 to now being $249.99." We are still going to renew but we had to think about it. What was/is your reaction? Will you still renew? Can you afford to renew? I was really surprised by the size of the price increase.
