All Aboard! With the Michigan Activity Pass
by Jim Flury 23 May '19

23 May '19

Good Morning, The purpose of this email is to introduce our newest Michigan Activity Pass partner destination, Coopersville & Marne Railway in Coopersville [ https://www.coopersvilleandmarne.org/ | https://www.coopersvilleandmarne.org/ ] All aboard! As of the time I am typing this email, close to 30 new partner destinations have signed up for the Michigan Activity Pass program for 2019-2020. We appreciate the fantastic support we receive from ALL of our Michigan Activity Pass partner destinations! At present there is an issue with the "place management" feature in the MAP software. While the pass reservation of the MAP software currently works just fine, meaning your patrons will be able to use MAP to reserve passes to all of our current MAP partner destinations over the busy Memorial Day weekend, the issue on the "place management" side means I am currently unable to add our new partner destinations to the MAP website. The MAP software developer is aware of this issue, and is working to correct it. As soon as the correction to the "place management" side of the MAP software is implemented, I will proceed to add our new MAP partner destinations, including Coopersville & Marne Railway, to the MAP program. Please note that I am taking tomorrow, Friday, May 24 as a vacation day. TLN is closed Monday, May 27 for the Memorial Day holiday. I would like to wish everyone a pleasant and safe Memorial Day holiday weekend. Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Flury Jim Flury Technical Services Manager/Michigan Activity Pass Coordinator The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100, ext 133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us

Audiobook vendor information
by alicia＠colomapubliclibrary.net 22 May '19

22 May '19

We are researching library audiobook vendors and plans, as we are up for renewal on our annual contract/plan with TEI Landmark Audio. I wondered if any libraries would be willing to share their experiences with other audiobook vendors, good and bad? I am especially interested in if other companies offer an alternative to the advance purchase plan (where you have to spend down a balance within the 12 months or forfeit those funds), and how much of a discount to libraries are given. TEI Landmark just added a $1 surcharge on every audiobook purchase into the contract; I am curious if other companies are raising their costs as well? You can send me a direct email with thoughts at <mailto:alicia@colomapubliclibrary.net> alicia(a)colomapubliclibrary.net. Thanks in advance!
