Collection development for new Homebound Service
by Michael Howey 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Hello Everybody, The Royal Oak Public Library is going to starting a Homebound program in the near future. We will be mailing out books, only books for now, to patrons with mobility issues. For those libraries with Homebound services, I am curious what areas of your collection seemed to get checked out more by those using the service? I am trying to get an idea on what should be purchased more in anticipation on this new service. Thank you for the help! -- Mick Howey Adult Services & Outreach Librarian Ph. 248.246.3724 Royal Oak Public <https://www.google.com/maps/place/222+W+Eleven+Mile+Rd,+Royal+Oak,+MI+48067…> Library <https://www.google.com/maps/place/222+W+Eleven+Mile+Rd,+Royal+Oak,+MI+48067…> 222 East 11 Mile Road <https://www.google.com/maps/place/222+W+Eleven+Mile+Rd,+Royal+Oak,+MI+48067…> Royal Oak, Mi 48067 <https://www.google.com/maps/place/222+W+Eleven+Mile+Rd,+Royal+Oak,+MI+48067…> michaelh(a)ropl.org ReThink RO <https://www.romi.gov/1231/Rethink-RO>

Privacy with donations
by Linda Lyshol 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Good Monday morning! (I know--what an oxymoron, right?!) Anyway, does any library keep a record of donations, most specifically, who donated and for whom? I need to create a policy for receiving cash donations in memory of a deceased person. But, I'm pretty sure it is breaking privacy law but not 100% sure, so I thought I'd poll the masterminds on here to see what y'all do. Oh, and if you have a policy, will you send it along? Thanks! OK, now go have another cup of coffee/tea because I am going to as well. Linda Lyshol, MLIS, MPA Library Director, Branch District Library 10 E.
