A Chance to Share and Help
by Jessica Curtis 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Please excuse cross-postings Dear Fellow Library Staff, Were you ever thrown into the deep end when it came to designing or enacting library programming or classes? Are you a library associate who is expected to create programs, but you’ve never received formal training? Our Ohio ILEAD<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/training-and-professional-d…> group is creating a website where everyone can go to download free forms and guides, provided by libraries such as yours, on how to create and run library programs and classes. Would you be willing to share your library’s (or your personal) worksheet, checklist, form, or tool that you use to guide employees through the process of creating and producing a library program? The materials will be credited to your library (or if you want, you personally) and made available for free download on the site. These materials would be organized into type and made available on www.libraryprogramhelper.org<http://www.libraryprogramhelper.org/>. It will go live in a few weeks as we gather content. Another email will go out when the site goes live. Many of us know that feeling of not knowing where to start with programs or what all is required to make it a success. Please lend your support and help out library staff that are new to program creation by sharing your materials and tools. If you are interested, please send PDFs or Docs to libraryprogramhelper(a)gmail.com<mailto:libraryprogramhelper@gmail.com>. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Jessica Curtis Adult Reference Librarian Ohio ILEAD Participant libraryprogramhelper(a)gmail.com

Hello all; We decided to have Longway Planetarium come here after we did the NASA training. First time for us ever actually finding the money to be able to do this. It was wonderful, we had two programs today with over 60 kids. Laurie was wonderful and the kids didn't want to leave the library...If you have the money and time she is worth every penny....

Library space rental question
by Kat Boyer 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Hello all, We, like many libraries, have a space that can be rented for outside use. Right now the rental agreement allows for the space, use of tables and chairs, podium, and use of the kitchen that is attached to the space. We have had people ask about using our projector, but as of now have not allowed that. I'm thinking of reworking our room rental policy to include use of things like microphones or the projector, and I wanted to get feedback from other libraries. If you allow for us of these items, do you charge? If so, how much do you charge and how do you make sure items are in working condition both before and after? Kat Boyer Director Benton Harbor Public Library 213 E Wall St. Benton Harbor, MI 49022

Jehovah's Witnesses question
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Greetings: While Public Libraries are not generally located in Federal buildings, Michigan public libraries are government entities and , like all US Public libraries, are considered "Limited Public Forums" for purposes of First Amendment activity. This means that while public libraries are not considered as open as , say, public sidewalks or parks, there is a right of the public to exercise their first amendment rights at public libraries - with certain caveats. Dave Ewick's answer earlier was correct. Jehovah's witnesses and other groups that wish to pamphlet, protest, petition, etc., do have a right to do so on Library property or sidewalks. In fact, a 1946 US Supreme Court case further supports this with respect to Jehovah's Witnesses and religious groups: Marsh v. Alabama 326 US 501(1946) HOWEVER, as a limited public forum, libraries can determine "Time, Place and Manner," which means that a library may impose reasonable restrictions on the activities of these groups. For example, the group can be asked to remain away from entrances and exits (so as to not block them or inhibit egress), they can be asked to prohibit any activity that inhibits the ability of the library to maintain its normal operations, or that prevents patrons from enjoying the library. The ACLU of Michigan has a great sheet on this topic: https://www.aclumich.org/sites/default/files/field_documents/knowyourrights…<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aclum…> Thanks!
