wonderful music program suggestion
by Lisa Waskin 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

I just want to give a shout out to Peter Bergin, concert pianist and ragtime musician extraordinaire. He put on a fantastic concert at the Bayliss Library last night with his lovely wife Carol. We did the first half of the evening with ragtime classics which included a wonderful explanation of the different types of rag, their history, and stories about the musicians who made these songs famous. The second half was an audience sing-a-long from the American Songbook of classics such as Somewhere Over the Rainbow, It Had to be You, You Make Me Feel So Young, and Kay Sera Sera. I had probable half the audience come up to me afterwards and tell me we have to have him back again. He brought in an audience of over 40 people in our little town, including many young families, and he was competing against events like the Slashin' on Ashmun classic car cruise, Willy Wonka production at the local theatre, another music concert up at Lake Superior State University, and a class reunion. We even had a few people come over from Canada for the event. We will definitely be booking Mr. Bergin again. If you would like to book him too, his contact information is: Peter Bergin berginmusic(a)gmail.com <mailto:berginmusic@gmail.com> Lisa Waskin, Director Superior District Library 541 Library Drive Sault Ste.

Hello Everybody, Here is the compilation (sorry, this is a little late in coming) of the responses to the question of libraries with seed libraries showing documentaries on the importance of seed diversity and if so, how well were they attended.

The Houghton area was severely hit. Major road cave-ins, sinkholes, and hazardous building damage and collapsing areas have led Governor Snyder to declare a state of emergency for the area.

Cutting machines and policies/charges
by Walker-Papke, Elizabeth 29 Jun '18

29 Jun '18

Good morning, collective brain! Our library has recently acquired a Silhouette Cameo (a materials cutting machine similar to a Cricut that will cut paper, vinyl, other materials) and a Silhouette Mint (stamp making machine). Do any of you have these machines or something similar in your makerspaces? I'm trying to establish usage policies (i.e. do you only let your staff/student workers operate? Do you train wannabe users? Other policies?) and how to charge for used materials...especially with the consumables of the machine itself (blades, for example), I'd like an idea on how you're approaching this. All ideas welcome, and if anyone wants the same info, let me know and I can share compiled responses. Thanks, all! Elizabeth Walker Librarian, Online and Distance Learning Associate Professor of Library Science Spring Arbor University 106 E. Main Street Spring Arbor, MI 49283 o 517.750.6443 | f 517.750.6960 arbor.edu<http://arbor.edu/> "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10 NIV
