We have way too many used padded envelopes of all sizes. We do not have boxes big enough to send them all but if you would like some let me know. We don't want them in the trash but any left at the end of the week are going away. Tanya R. Procknow Mackinaw Area Public Library Youth Librarian (231)436-5451

Libraries are creating memory kits for patrons to use both in the library and to check out. * Resources to Encourage Reading with the Library 100 List<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…>: Last month, OCLC published a great list based on our own original research: The Library 100—Top Novels of All Time.

The more people are involved in planning and programming, the more they are invested in the success of the library. While many libraries collect community input primarily through surveys, there are other, more interactive and interpersonal tools that can uncover the heart and aspirations of the community. Explore tools and strategies that start meaningful conversations and foster collaborative engagement on everything from strategic and space planning to programming. Learn how you can join your library and your community at the heart.
