book for sale
by Kate, Scheid 30 May '17

30 May '17

One of the members of the Holly Township Friends of the Library was involved with producing a work book entitled Driving with Dignity which is a resource for caretakers facing the challenge of restricting driving for older charges. She asked me to offer information on this book via michlib-l in case anyone would like to purchase it for their collection or would like to recommend it to any other organizations. The book sells for $20 from the Keeping Us Safe website. This is the link http://www.keepingussafe.org/beyonddrivingwithdignityworkbook Kate Scheid, MLIS Director Holly Township Library 1116 N.

District Library Formation -- Consultants
by Stephanie Masin 30 May '17

30 May '17

Greetings everyone - I am hoping the collective at Michlib-L will provide some excellent recommendations as you all have in the past for so many queries. I'm looking for recommendations for consultants who can come provide information and guidance on what it takes to become a district library. We are specifically looking for someone who is skilled at getting parties who might be hesitant about the idea engaged in the process. We want a thorough discussion of the steps involved, timeline, and pros and cons. Many thanks in advance for your wisdom and advice, Stephanie Masin Library Director Maud Preston Palenske Memorial Library 500 Market Street St. Joseph, MI 49085 (269) 983-7167 www.stjoseph.lib.mi.us<http://www.stjoseph.lib.mi.us> *This message is for the intended recipient only and may be privileged, otherwise protected, or subject to other legal rules.

MelCat and Agent Verso
by Kat Boyer 30 May '17

30 May '17

My library would like to look into joining MelCat, but I am having a hard time determining how much work we will have to do to make sure our catalog is compliant. We run Agent's Verso system, and I know a few years ago that the two systems didn't work very well together. Has anyone joined MelCat recently while also running the Agent Verso system? Or anyone else recently join that can give me some advice as to how much work goes into getting the catalog ready? Thanks, Kat Boyer Interim Director Benton Harbor Public Library
