dvd labels
by Marian Volek 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

Good afternoon! Our juvenile DVDs get very dirty, scratched, trashed very quickly. I saw a couple of libraries with stickers or labels advising parents to not let children handle DVDs..Does anyone use these? I didn't see anything in Demco...I don't know if it will help, but it's worth a try. Thanks for your help! Marian VolekWest Iron District LibraryIron River, Michigan

Michigan History Day eNews: Call for Volunteer Judges, Michigan History Day Team Goes to Hawaii
by HSM Main 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

<http://hsmichigan.org/mhd/> Calling All Volunteers! Can you help us judge Michigan History DayR this April? <http://hsmichigan.org/mhd/mhd-judges-form/> The Historical Society of Michigan is looking for individuals with an interest in history and education to serve as judges for the 2020 Michigan History DayR State Finals. Judges help inspire a younger generation by evaluating entries, conducting brief interviews, and providing feedback to students. The most important quality for a judge to possess is an enthusiasm for interacting with students. Judges should have a lively interest in history but do not need a professional history background. HSM provides training for how to judge History Day entries. New judges will be placed on teams with seasoned veteran judges to evaluate participants' entries and provide constructive feedback to students. The 2020 Michigan History DayR State Finals will be held on Saturday, April 25, 2020, at Central Michigan University from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. To register, call (517) 324-1828 or complete the online registration form <http://hsmichigan.org/mhd/mhd-judges-form/> on our website. We hope you can join us this year! Thank you for your support of Michigan History DayR. Michigan History Day Student-Teacher Team Chosen to Study World War II in Hawaii Caleb Nimee, a student at Superior Central School in Eben Junction, Michigan, and his teacher, Mr. Brenton Fitzpatrick, make up one of only 16 student-teacher teams from across the United States selected to participate in the second annual Sacrifice for Freedom: World War II in the Pacific Student & Teacher Institute. The program, coordinated through National History Day, is sponsored by Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum, the USS Missouri Memorial Association, and Pacific Historic Parks. This institute brings student-teacher teams from Hawaii and American Samoa together with teams from the U.S. mainland for the distinctive opportunity to study, consider, and reflect upon World War II in a way that few have done before. Over the next six months, students and teachers will read books and selected materials, engage in online discussions, and research a "Silent Hero," a military service member who died in World War II and is buried or memorialized at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii. <http://hsmichigan.org/mhd/> Learn more about Michigan History Day! cid:image001.jpg@01CF8A43.BF828E40 _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. _____ For more information on the Historical Society of Michigan, please visit <http://www.hsmichigan.org/> www.hsmichigan.org or e-mail us at <mailto:hsm@hsmichigan.org> hsm(a)hsmichigan.org. _____ The Historical Society of Michigan 7435 Westshire Drive .

Thank you all so much for the great (and quick) responses regarding options for credit card transactions, I will definitely be looking into these! I was asked if I could share the responses for those of you who were also thinking about offering credit card transactions. Here are the options that I have received so far: PayPal Square Point&Pay Stripe Chase Paymentech g2gcloud.com Also, I had a tip that not all ILSes work with all vendors so it is important to find out what will work with your specific ILS in order to avoid any double entries or potential errors. Thank you Lissa for that important information! Thanks again everyone! Jennifer Kreiner Director Lyons Township District Library (989) 855-3414
