School Libraries & Summer Reading
by Klaudia Janek 21 May '18

21 May '18

I wrote an article about school libraries and summer reading. https://www.follettcommunity.com/klaudiajanek-may2018-summer-reading I thought it would be relevant to this list because we have a really great relationship with Bloomfield Township Public Library and Baldwin Public Library. It's nice for me to be able to rely on outstanding public library programming.

Passive Programming
by Dacy Willard 21 May '18

21 May '18

Hi Cathy, I was at the MI KidsLib Conference last week and during the Breakout session about passive programming we were discussing whether statistics from passive programs should be counted and reported to boards. I'm curious what the state requirement is for active vs. passive program statistics and at what point does a passive program become considered part of programming statistics? Thanks, Dacy Willard Dacy Willard Library Assistant Children's Department Auburn Area Branch Library 235 W. Midland Rd Auburn, MI 48611 (989)662-2381 ext. 208
