Wheelchair for public use
by Patricia Braden 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hi everyone, Does anyone have a wheelchair for the public to use while in the library? If so, for what purpose is it used? We have a patron who is requesting that we get one and I'm wondering if others have had the same request and if you have one already. If you have one, were you able to get it donated? Thanks, Patty Patty Braden, Director Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Road Romulus, MI 48174 734-942-7589 www.romuluslibrary.org

My Britannica Accounts - MeL UPDATE
by Biggs, Deb Renee (MDE) 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello Friends!! For those of you who may be training teachers on how to use Britannica School, they have just made things a little bit easier! When setting up a "My Britannica" account, Britannica has eliminated the need for a school code for the educator account. Now, educators just need to enter in a username, password, and email address, plus check off "Educator" in the sign up box. (Reminder - usernames cannot contain any spaces.) Students just need to enter a username, password, and check off "Student" in the sign up box. The My Britannica Educator account allows access to over 16,000 lesson plans plus curriculum standards alignment. Plus, My Britannica users can create and share Resource Packs, which is an excellent tool in the K-12 classroom. If you would like to learn more about using Britannica School, or any of the great MeL databases, please check out the Training Toolkit <http://teachers.mel.org/training-toolkit> in the MeL Teachers portal (teachers.mel.org<http://teachers.mel.org>). -- Christine Schneider K-12 Education Specialist Michigan eLibrary [http://www.michigan.gov/images/MEL_LOGO_25435_7.jpg] Michigan eLibrary, a program of the Library of Michigan and part of the Michigan Department of Education http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan 702 W Kalamazoo St, Lansing, MI 48915 (m) 248-305-0231<tel:(248)%20305-0231> Our collective efforts can help make Michigan a Top 10 education state in 10 years!

The labels have all been spoken for. Thanks for your interest. Darwin McGuire Technical Services Manager Genesee District Library 4195 W. Pasadena Ave. Flint, MI 48504 Tel. 810-230-3329 FAX 810-732-1161 From: Darwin McGuire Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2017 9:49 AM To: michlib-l(a)mcls.org Subject: Free Spine Label Sets Hi, everyone. We're cleaning out a supply cabinet this morning and came across some spine label/pocket label sets that somebody in library land can use. They are Demco item WS12305530, "Continuous Processing Labels, Style SLB." https://www.demco.com/goto?PRD12305530&s=12305530 Labels are 1 5/8" high, spine label is 7/8" wide and the pocket label is 2 7/8" wide. They are on continuous feed paper, 4 ¾" wide. There are 1000 labels to a box, and we have 20 boxes. These labels are about 10 years old, but they seem to be fine-the adhesive is still good. If you want any or all, please let me know. For free. Really. Please take them. You might need them someday... Darwin McGuire Technical Services Manager Genesee District Library 4195 W. Pasadena Ave. Flint, MI 48504 Tel. 810-230-3329 FAX 810-732-1161

National Teen Lockin Volunteers for 2018
by Erin Durrett 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Good Afternoon, The National Teen Lockin is starting to plan NTL 2018. We are looking for a few virtual volunteers to assist with planning Author Chats, Online Connections, and other committees. If you can contribute even a few hours of time between now and the end of July, please consider joining us. If interested, please fill out our Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/ d/1LkkqcRW0KxW3NfqD30OfsJYz-iDCBhc0qzc_o0taYNI If you are unfamiliar with the National Teen Lockin, we are a 100% volunteer run annual program in our 5th year that encourages libraries across the country to plan a synchronous teen program on a particular day. Here is a blurb from our 2017 wiki: NTL 2017 will happen on Friday, July 28th but the timing of your event is completely up to you. Some libraries do all night events. Some do after-hours only. Participating libraries do not have a required number of hours or participants to be a part of NTL. The gaming, author chats, and online connections are synchronous, but those are scheduled (to the greatest degree possible) so that libraries in all time zones can participate. The photo scavenger hunt, minute-to-win-it, and craft activities can happen anytime on July 28th! Make NTL work for your library! Thanks! Erin Durrett (NTL Co-Chair 2018) *Erin Durrett* edurrett(a)fpl.info Digital Learning Specialist Flint Public Library 1026 E. Kearsley Flint MI 48503 (810)-232-7111 <%28810%29%20232-7111>
