Please consider joining the Michigan Library Delegation at the 2017 National Library Legislative Day (NLLD) in Washington DC! As in past years, GaleCengage is sponsoring 2 librarians to attend this important advocacy event. Click on the link below for more information and to submit for consideration and please share with your colleagues. Deadline for submitting is March 20th. http://galesupport.com/legislativeday/ NLLD includes a briefing day (Monday) for librarians from all 50 states who convene in DC to represent their state and its libraries to their Congressional delegations. On Tuesday, everyone goes to the Hill to speak with their representative. It's a great way to advocate for federal funding-LSTA, ERate, ESSA, etc.-all of which effect us on the state level and to let Congress know what great work libraries do in their states/districts. We'd love to have you join us this year! Please let me know if you have any questions. Best regards, Deb D. R.

CPS reporting question
by Kat Boyer 07 Feb '17

07 Feb '17

Hi everyone, I just had a rather distubring conversation with a patron who was telling me that his nephews called him at 1 am last night to tell him that they were home alone and in the car of a 10 year was was left with them and a 1 year old infant. The patron told me that there were no adults in the home at the time of the call and that the mothers of the children were unreachable. At what point are we compelled to call CPS if we hear information like this? I am not sure if I am required to report, if I should report, or if I should encourage my patron to report this information. Kat Boyer Interim Director Benton Harbor Public Library

Policy Search: Community Calendar and/or Electronic Signage
by Shauna Swantek 07 Feb '17

07 Feb '17

Greetings, Libraryland. I'm in search of a couple of policies. If your library posts community events/notices on your calendar and/or on your electronic sign outside (or inside) and has a policy regarding this, please send. I'm also curious if anyone is using or contributing to an online community-wide calendar in your area. We envision something where many people have separate log ins to manage their own calendar (library, chamber, village, schools, churches, etc.) but it is populated into one...so the community at large can pick and choose what it sees. There are many products available but I'd love to talk to someone about what you have experience with. Thanks. Shauna Lea Swantek, Director Putnam District Library Honoring the Past, Serving Today, Preparing For Tomorrow www.putnamlib.org 327 North Main Street PO Box 920 Nashville, MI 49073-9578 Phone & Fax: (517)852-9723
