grants for training
by White Pine District Library 08 May '20

08 May '20

When we ever open and move to a new building, we would like to offer some community health classes, one being Yoga. Can anyone tell me of a grant that would fit the bill for the cost of training someone to teach here. Thank you! Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

But Eric Lineberg says that when we invest in social infrastructures such as libraries, parks, or schools, we reap all kinds of benefits. We become more likely to interact with people around us, and connected to the broader public. If we neglect social infrastructure, we tend to grow more isolated, which can have serious consequences. -- [image: America's STAR Libraries 2018]

Hand Sanitizer
by Steven Kish 08 May '20

08 May '20

I know I mentioned this company before in a prior thread, but I thought it may be noteworthy to mention that they just managed to improve their supply chain and therefore lowered their prices on hand sanitizer. https://thedetroitbus.com/product/bulk-hand-sanitizer-from-the-detroit-sani… You will need spray bottles for it because it is a liquid, not a gel. But it is made in Detroit and they seem to have plenty in stock right now.

Governor Whitmer Extends Stay Home, Stay Safe Order to May 28
by Shannon White - Library of Michigan 07 May '20

07 May '20

This extends the original date from May 15 through May 28. Both EOs, the Stay Home, Stay Safe EO and the EO referencing the closure of places of public accommodation have the same date of May 28 now. You can see this new Executive Order online at - https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/MIEOG/2020/05/07/file_attachmen… Below is the press release full text. Governor Whitmer Extends Stay Home, Stay Safe Order, Reopens Manufacturing as Part of her MI Safe Start Plan Michigan's Big 3 Auto Manufacturers Can Return to Work on May 11th LANSING, Mich. -- Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Executive Order 2020-77 to extend Michigan's Stay Home, Stay Safe order to May 28. The governor's order will allow manufacturing workers, including those at Michigan's Big 3 auto companies, to resume work on Monday, May 11 as part of her MI Safe Start Plan. "This is good news for our state, our businesses, and our working families," said Governor Whitmer. "We're not out of the woods yet, but this is an important step forward on our MI Safe Start plan to re-engage our economy safely and responsibly. As we continue to phase in sectors of our economy, I will keep working around the clock to ensure our businesses adopt best practices to protect workers from the spread of COVID-19. When we all keep doing our part, we can reduce the risk of a second wave and re-engage our economy safely and responsibly." Under Executive Order 2020-77, manufacturing facilities must adopt measures<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> to protect their workers from the spread of COVID-19. That includes conducting a daily entry screening protocol for workers and everyone else entering the facility, including a questionnaire covering symptoms and exposure to people with possible COVID-19, together with a temperature screening as soon as no-touch thermometers can be obtained. They must also create dedicated entry points at every facility, and suspend entry of all non-essential in-person visits, including tours. "Governor Whitmer has brought together leaders in business and labor to ensure our workers can return to the job safely. The safety of our workers is our top priority and I am confident that Michigan manufacturers are prepared to deliver on the worker protections included in today's order," said John Walsh, President and CEO of the Michigan Manufacturers Association. "We believe the manufacturing industry has a big role to play in Michigan's economic recovery and we're ready to lead the way. I look forward to continuing to work closely with the governor to bring the manufacturing industry back up to full strength." Manufacturing facilities must also train workers on, among other things, how COVID-19 is transmitted from person to person, signs and symptoms of COVID-19, steps workers must take to notify the business or operation of signs and symptoms of COVID-19 or suspected or confirmed diagnosis, and the use of personal protective equipment. All businesses in the state-including manufacturers-must require masks to be worn when workers cannot consistently maintain six feet of separation from others, and consider face shields for those who cannot consistently maintain three feet of separation from other workers. "MICHauto and the Detroit Regional Chamber applaud the Governor for her continued steps to safely re-open our economy. Automotive and manufacturing is not only the backbone of our regional and state economy, it is essential to the functioning of the global supply chain. This is good news for Michigan and the nation," said Glenn Stevens Jr., executive director of MICHauto, and vice president of Automotive and Mobility Initiatives for the Chamber. "We have supported Governor Whitmer's approach to keeping families, communities and companies safe since the beginning of this pandemic," said Andi Owen, President and CEO of Herman Miller. "Our manufacturing teams are at the heart of our company. Working within the governor's guidelines will help to ensure we maintain the safest environment for our employees, both as they come to work and return home to their families." The governor's Stay Home, Stay Safe order remains in effect until May 28, 2020. Under this order, Michiganders still must not leave their homes except to run critical errands, to engage in safe outdoor activities, or to go to specified jobs.

problems registering for today's webinar
by Jennifer Dye 07 May '20

07 May '20

I tried several times to register for this webinar. When my email address didn't show up as in your system, I created a new account several days ago. As I still had not received any acknowledgement, I created another account, and still did not hear back. Obviously, it's due to start now, so I won't get on today. Is there any way that I can get this cleared up? I have taken part in programs in the past.
