program/author recommendation
by Lisa Waskin 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

I wanted to share this awesome opportunity to have one of our own home grown authors speak at your libraries. Tim Ellis and Brad Blair, along with other members of the UPPRS and Eagle Radio, have been amazing to our libraries over the years. I can't recommend them enough for programs about their investigations, their book, their radio show, The Creaking Door, and many other fantastic possible events. Tim even was the emcee for our infamous Pie Eating Contest this summer. His personality and love of libraries make him the perfect presenter for your library. Can you tell how much I respect this guy? I have attached a press release about their book, with his contact information. I hope you all share this fun program with your community of patrons!

Follett Institute coming to Grand Rapids
by Klaudia Janek 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

Any Follett Users Interested? Those lucky enough to be on the west side of the state have a Follett Institute coming to your area. It's also for anyone willing to make the drive 😄 August 21 Follett launched the registration site for the Follett Institute – Grand Rapids, MI that will take place October 1-3, at the Grand Rapids Christian Schools District. Here is the registration link: http://www.cvent.com/d/gyq4qm *Day 1* is designed specifically for brand new librarians or librarians that have been in the library a year or two, but never received any formal Destiny training. *Day 2* is all about the digital side of Destiny, Discover and Collections and *Day 3* is really librarian PD, we’re discussing advocacy, promotion and makerspaces. So many librarians are scared to take the leap of faith required to start a makerspace so we talk about various ways to implement one while still meeting your comfort level. We’re really excited about day 3 and we think it’ll be great information that librarians can really use right away to further concrete themselves as an important component of their campus. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Camille Sullivan. She presented at our MAME pre-Conference 2 years ago when Collections were first introduced and we were happy. *Camille N.
