I am grateful that the Legislature has taken another step towards protecting Michiganders against the spread of COVID-19 by codifying my executive orders. As always, I remain ready to work alongside the Legislature to pass laws that help us defeat this virus together.” Senate Bill 1108 takes immediate effect and was sponsored by Senator Lana Theis, R-Brighton. Additionally, the governor signed following bills into law today, as well as vetoed three bills outlined below. House Bill 4288 sets standards and grant criteria for the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) when implementing the Broadband Expansion Act of Michigan Grant Program. The bill was sponsored by Representative Michele Hoitnega, R-Manton. House Bill 4686 provides for the opportunity for individuals to remove their name from the Disassociated Persons List after 5 years under the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act. The bill was sponsored by Representative Ryan Berman, R-West Bloomfield. House Bill 5194 modifies the definitions of “automobile or light truck” and “heavy-duty truck” to increase the threshold from a rated 10,000 pound weight to a rated 14,000 pound weight under the Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Act. The bill was sponsored by Representative Greg Markkanen, R-Hancock. House Bill 5267 designates the portion of Highway US-127 in Isabella County beginning at the exit to US-127 business route and extending north to the Pickard Road exit as the "Lance Corporal Justin Ellsworth Memorial Highway." Lance Corporal Ellsworth was killed while on a dismounted combat patrol southeast of Fallujah Iraq, by an improvised explosive device. He was 20 years old. The bill was sponsored by Representative Ryan Berman, R-West Bloomfield. House Bill 5602 amends the Single State Construction Code Act to modify provisions governing the installation, maintenance, replacement, or servicing of a low-voltage electric fence. The bill was sponsored by Representative Rodney Wakeman, R-Saginaw. Senate Bill 665 allows brewers who are not licensed as a micro brewer, and making between 60,000 and 120,000 barrels of beer to operate up to 3 tasting rooms, similar to a micro brewer. The bill was sponsored by Senator Roger Victory, R-Hudsonville. Senate Bill 852 repeals and replaces the Industrial Hemp Growers Act which requires the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to establish, operate, and administer an industrial hemp program for the state. This is a technical fix required by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for approval of Michigan’s state hemp plan. This fix codifies an exemption to the general prohibition against anyone with a state or federal felony conviction related to a controlled substance from producing industrial hemp for 10 years following the date of the conviction. The bill was sponsored by Senator Dan Lauwers, R-Brockway. Senate Bill 1080 extends the length of maturity of bonds and notes issued by a special assessment district under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, from 10 to 40, years after the date of issuance. The bill was sponsored by Senator Rick Outman, R-Six Lakes. Senate Bill 1103 allows marijuana tax revenue to be deposited into the Michigan Transportation Fund (MTF) after other funds are earmarked and removed. The bill was sponsored by Senator Curtis Hertel, D-East Lansing. Senate Bill 977 and House Bill 5881 were vetoed by the governor in order to avoid voter confusion prior to the November election. Senate Bill 977 was sponsored by Senator Kevin Daley, R-Lapeer, while House Bill 5881 was sponsored by Representative Ann Bollin, R-Brighton. Senate Bill 659 was vetoed by the governor. The bill would have imposed new administrative burdens on the Michigan Department of State without providing for a funding mechanism to support the new requirements. The bill was sponsored by Senator Peter MacGregor, R-Rockford.

Roomba Responses
by Valerie Meyerson 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Here are the responses I received about the Roomba. No consensus (of course!). Val Meyerson, Petoskey _________________________________________ Hi Valerie, I have a Roomba at home, not at our library. I would not recommend it for a library. 1. It gets stuck all the time. I have to rescue the silly thing every few minutes, and it tends to go right back where it shouldn't. 2. It is LOUD. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Best of luck on your research! Tamara I returned mine. I bought it for my house and IT SUCKED!! Seriously, it literally did NOT suck:) Julie Personal experience...I have one at home and I love it! However, I do put my dining room chairs on the table 2Xs per week so that it gets under the table (I also have 3 kids - ages 8, 6, 4 - so getting under the table is a must!!) If you have a kick space that isn't tall enough, it won't get all the way to the edges and so in my kitchen I still need to sweep along the cabinets to get the crumbs. I dock mine in the center of our house (ranch style) and I have had one or two times when I noticed it went to the left, but never went all the way to the right side of the house. I think it is our layout - it can miss the doorway into the right ½ and then it thinks it is done. ?? You still have to empty it - I do mine daily, but for a library, depending on size and amount of dirt, it might not finish if the bin gets full. That could be a concern as well. You will likely have to run it after hours as mine is noisy. I start it in the morning when I leave, so it doesn't bother me at all during the week, but on Saturday it can be annoying if I am trying to do something --- quieter than a normal vacuum, but just loud enough that I have sent it home a time or two because the background noise was making me nuts! :) :) While it isn't perfect - I do really like it and it does a good job picking up on hard surfaces and carpet. I made the investment after we installed wood laminate flooring because vacuums with brushes are not recommended and that was what I had. Good luck! Megan Not that this helps but my mom has one and she loves it! Her house though is not as big as the library. It does make it around the chairs and furniture though. It is fun to watch! Debbie Val - my daughter had the early one and now has a more advanced one - actually she has two, one for each floor of her house and she LOVES it! I don't know about a library, but for her house it ROCKS and I have watched it many times. It doesn't get stuck, and it will notify you on your smart device if it is full or something is wrong. Yes, $$$, but she thinks it is worth it. ~Sheryl Are you considering purchasing it for the library? I didn't think of that... My parents received one several years ago and I think it's still kicking and pretty decent on dog hair. Hi Val, We have a roomba at our Mesick branch which is one room- a little less than 3,000 square feet. The roomba can't seem to handle it. It's docking station is behind the circulation desk and it hasn't yet managed to get out onto the floor on it's own. It just hasn't worked for us but maybe we're doing something wrong? I'd be interested to hear what others have to say. -Tracy Hi Valerie, While we don't have a roomba at the library, I do have one at home. Robert (so affectionately named by my partner) is a cheaper model and often gets stuck. If you do decide to go the Roomba route, might I suggest going all in and buying the more expensive model that you can map a route on your phone. They also "learn" routes and dump their own waste, in the more expensive models. Our Robert is the cheapest, and therefore the dumbest model. We often get texts exclaiming "Help! Robert is on a Cliff!" because he's sucked up a sock and gotten himself all cattywompus about the living space. He also has gotten stuck in a tighter area of our hallway because he can't map his way out. He's a lovely cleaning addition to the household, but in a professional setting, I would definitely recommend the more expensive (read: smarter) models. Warmly, Nicole Brobston I purchased a Roomba a couple years ago (2017) during Amazon Prime days for my house. It's still working great and I highly recommend it. We have a very hairy dog and need to run it every other day. It goes around furniture fine. I did purchase the Virtual wall barriers to keep her in certain rooms/areas. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BDQZYX2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_ti… I have a thick area rug that she has a difficult time with though. She handles low pile rugs great. You'd also have to be aware of cords on the floor. I also purchased the extra parts for my Roomba model so that I can swap out the rollers, filters, etc. so that I can clean the dirty ones and still use the unit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009W16DHC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_ti… I do not have experience using it in a public library setting. This is for personal use. Sheila Good White Pine Library Cooperative I can only tell you that my daughter just bought one and loves it. She lives in a small apartment with lots of stuff and it seems to find its way pretty well. She got one of the cheaper models - makes random paths and doesn't connect to her phone. Deb Hemmye Our Roomba is an e5 (e5150). Not an expensive model from what I understand. I did not devote much time to programming the Roomba when I took over the branch in February of 2020, as I had to prioritize some other issues. The we shut down for COVID in March. After the shut down things are in constant movement due to areas needed for quarantine and storage so I have not bothered with it. I plan to revisit it when things are less in limbo. I will say that the stacks did not seem to be an issue. Rolling chairs were a problem. If chairs went up at night it might be better. I am sorry I am not more help. I would think that in this situation, you get what you spend. I would imagine a newer more modern model will function better for you. Ah, I'm sure we don't have the latest and greatest. It's bare bones....I looked. It's the 675. The issue we have is it gets stuck under furniture (dressers with open fronts at the bottom), on the rubber mat under our cat's water dishes, on Ikea metal chair legs that lie flat on the floor (this chair: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/images/products/tobias-chair-clear-chrome-plated…) etc. So we have to clear a room of all obstacles before we start it. I have a Roomba 960 at home, in my bi-level house. It's not perfect, but it works better than I imagined it would. I have entirely hardwood (vinyl) floors. I think my experience would be similar to the business carpet most of us have. It gets 85% of my cat/dog hair and dirt at home, but will occasionally miss tiny pieces of debris. It doesn't do corners very well, as in hair tumbleweeds get pushed into corners and not get sucked up. I have to physically pickup and empty it over the trash can after every session to stop loose dirt from falling on the floor. Every 3-4 sessions with our two pets we have to pull the hair out the rotors and transition manifold, which takes 5 seconds BUT is something that has to be done and your hands get dirty, if it's a concern. Otherwise you just pull out the container with the Roomba at the base and it will revacuum the debris, if you want. If a room has recently been clean and I want to touch-up, I can run the Roomba again and I don't have to empty it. It seems to transition between rooms well. It goes over heavy rugs without issue. It stops at the bi-level and doesn't tumble down. The sensors I use to tell it not to go somewhere seem to work. It does a good job going around furniture, spinning 360° effortlessly, and you get a map of what was vacuumed after every job, like a little floorplan. I will say my parents have the same model and they have to pick up all their light-duty rugs (which libraries probably dont have) or it will bunch them up and get stuck. It does an amazing job of trying to carry on cleaning after sucking up a cat toy, but ultimately fails with a horrible death-rattle. A thorough vacuuming is still needed every once in awhile to get the corners or places like the dining room table with a lot of chairs and legs to bounce between, small clearances (fridge, cupboards), behind doors. Overall a great buy and it makes cleaning at home a lot easier. 4/5 good device and will be investing into newer models in the future. I did a lot of research before I bought mine. I'd strongly suggest you either buy a top of the line model or not at all--do not buy cheap. Do not buy the top of the line model with the self-emptying bay, as I heard those aren't perfected yet and don't work well. Bought mine at the $550 price point when it was on sale. Hope it helps, --- Christian Dunham | Director Bullard Sanford Memorial Library Valerie Meyerson, Library Director Petoskey District Library [jpg Blue Small] Please think about the environment prior to printing this email.

What is your weeding process? (Do you have policies in place about weeding, a method that works best for your library, or other advice to offer?) 2. Does your library have an African American Collection or other special collection? If so, does it include nonfiction? What are your parameters for your special collection? 3. Does your library have a collection development strategy that you'd be willing to share so we can assess processes we may not have considered? Thanks for any and all information shared. Please respond off list and those who are interested in the information collected, please also email off list and I will share the findings once compiled.

The tension created between new social distance protocols and the need to connect and build relationships is heightened, with many not equipped to lower the stress for meaningful teaching and learning to occur in school or in a remote environment. At the same time, school communities and society at large are facing the pandemic of centuries of racism that is harmful to students, particularly Black, Indigenous and students of Color. What are the strategies that need to be put in place to nurture the growth of each student, their family/caregivers, and teachers during these times? How can we evolve to be culturally responsive in our schools and communities? In this edWebinar, we will: * Learn about key self-care tips not only for students, but adults, too * Discover how school districts can encourage self-care and mindfulness in their communities of teachers and learners * Hear what parents can do at home to foster self-care and mindfulness * Examine how being student centered can promote culturally responsive teaching This edWebinar will be of interest to teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders of all levels. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. Presented by Dena Simmons, Ed.D., Assistant Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Yale University, CT; Dr. Baron R.
