Free Webinar: Programming for Adults with Developmental Disabilities: Why and How
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 14 May '20

14 May '20

Programming for Adults with Developmental Disabilities: Why and How<https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?id=909&reset=1> May 21 @ 1:00 PM ET Cost: Free Often residential and day programs for people with developmental disabilities bring clients to their local public library to visit, however, these groups don't really engage with the library's many services or programs. Adults with developmental disabilities also come to the library on their own. Many times, individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities are directed to youth services and not the adult departments which are more appropriate. This confusion could present a barrier to offering these patrons more than just a place to visit. Would you like to offer programming for adults with developmental disabilities rather than just a place to visit? Join us for this one-hour webinar devoted to an exploration of a range of topics related to programming in your libraries for the adults with developmental disabilities in your community. Presenters Carrie Banks (Brooklyn Public Library) and Barbara Klipper (Autism Welcome Here grant) will cover the barriers and benefits of programming, best practices, and what is meant by a "culture of inclusion." They'll also leave you with some sample program ideas you can bring to your library and give you a preview of what else will be covered in the book on this subject they are currently writing for the publishing division of ALA. And, of course, there will be time for your questions and concerns to be voiced and addressed. Evette M.

We recently hosted a fabulous virtual program on Bees and Pollinator Gardens, conducted by Brian Peterson-Roest, founder of Bees in the D<https://beesinthed.com/>.

Join MCLS this Friday for a different kind of a dialogue
by Pam Seabolt 14 May '20

14 May '20

We invite you to join MCLS staff for the next dialogue and discussion. Our weekly dialogues have been part support group and part visioning, but as libraries are beginning to open and provide services again, we wanted to check in to see how MCLS could support you through this time and into the future. This week, we will be taking a break from our weekly series in order to have a dialogue around what concerns libraries and how MCLS might support them. Join us this week on Friday, May 15 at 11:00 am EDT (10:00 am CDT) on Zoom. Please login using this link for the Virtual Dialogue<https://zoom.us/j/172695113?pwd=dnpuUVBudFR5MHZaTHl4bTN6UjZWdz09>.

Article on Libraries Responding to COVID around the Globe
by Shannon White - Library of Michigan 13 May '20

13 May '20

I posted this to the LM Facebook page tonight but thought others may want to take a look at this interesting view of libraries around the world and COVID. This article is from IFLA, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions. The website provides a lot of information about how libraries around the globe are dealing with the effects of COVID-19. COVID-19 and the Global Library Field - https://www.ifla.org/covid-19-and-libraries<https://www.ifla.org/covid-19-and-libraries?fbclid=IwAR1Zyrcd6GELJp3lQbvUx7…> Always a good reminder that it's a big world out there.

Plexiglass Barriers
by John Rucker 13 May '20

13 May '20

Hi all, Here's another option for anyone looking to put barriers up at your libraries. Pennzoni Display Company <https://www.pennzonidisplay.com/> in Sturgis has been great with us. They sell a wide variety of acrylic plexiglass products, including sneeze guards <https://www.pennzonidisplay.com/sneezeguard.aspx>. They also sell "drum booths" made of 6'x2' panels with hinges to allow you to have taller barriers if you need them. The edges are rounded off, not square and sharp like a piece of plexiglass from the hardware store might be, and the hinges make it super easy to mix and match the different sizes of plexiglass to custom make a wall with pass-through openings of any arbitrary length. Depending on the shape you come up with, it might be perfectly free-standing and self-supporting, like a drum booth usually is. Or, you can use gaffer's tape, which is strong, easy to work with, and leaves no residue when gently pulled off. (Gaffer Power is a great brand. Some of the cheaper ones don't tear off the roll as easily and do leave residue sometimes.) Pennzoni can do tax-exempt, but cannot do purchase orders. So pre-pay with a check or use a credit card. They were very responsive to email and phone inquiries, and even helped me load more than 50 sheets of plexiglass into my van when I went to pick it up. (We are close to Sturgis, they also ship via FedEx.) Attached are some shots of how we used these pieces to create barriers at some of our service points. One word of caution: while assembling the 6' sections is possible for one person, it really works better—and much faster!—with two. Be well! John Rucker, Director Branch District Library 10 E. Chicago St. Coldwater MI 49036 RuckerJ(a)BranchDistrictLibrary.org http://www.BranchDistrictLibrary.org Direct: 517-279-7848 517-278-2341, ext. 115 Fax: 517-278-2342 [image: barrier6.jpg]
