by Rachel Ash 28 Jul '20

28 Jul '20

Join us tomorrow at 2:00pm for the MLA Connect Webinar: Staying Connected in a World of Isolation MLA Connect Webinar: Staying Connected in a World of Isolation Wednesday, July 29, 2020 2:00 – 3:00 pm Between dealing with new contactless delivery of service, managing social distancing as you reopen your doors, and even coping with all the changes to your personal life, networking might be taking a low priority in your world right now. Unfortunately, that's the exact opposite of what you need. Your network has the answers to many of the challenges you are facing and, unless you take a proactive role in the process, it will begin to evaporate, taking all the resources you need with it. Greg Peters, the Reluctant Networker, has a few ideas that can help you build your connections even if you can't be in front of them right now. Attendees of this webinar will learn: * Who you should be reaching out to * The benefits of each medium that you might use Registration rates are $25.00 for MLA members and $50.00 for non-members. Registration is first-come, first-served. A maximum of 100 attendees can attend the live webinar. Registered attendees will receive information and a link to access the webinar on the zoom platform. Attention MLA 2020-2021 Volunteers: This webinar is being offered for FREE for our volunteers as an extra thank you for all you do. If you are a volunteer and would like to attend this webinar, please contact us at MLA(a)milibraries.org<mailto:mla@milibraries.org> for your discount code. Questions?

Patron wanting to locate a book from their childhood: “ It's a picture book that I checked out from 2002-2004. It's about a dog that is abducted by aliens in the middle of the night. I vaguely remember it being from the dogs perspective. The dog breed was either a Weimaraner, Chocolate lab, or Chesapeake bay retriever. A chocolatey colored dog with light eyes and a medium frame.” Anyone have any guesses???? -- Stacy Pasche, Library Director *Benzie Shores District Library* *630 Main St.* *Frankfort, MI 49635* *ph: (231) 352-4671* *"Sometimes its fun to do the impossible." - Walt Disney*

FW: NEWS RELEASE: MIOSHA focuses efforts on protecting employees in service industries with greater COVID-19 transmission risk

[A close up of a sign Description automatically generated] From: Michigan State Police <MichStatePolice(a)govsubscriptions.michigan.gov> Sent: Monday, July 27, 2020 2:15 PM To: Membiela, Clare (MDE) <MembielaC(a)michigan.gov> Subject: NEWS RELEASE: MIOSHA focuses efforts on protecting employees in service industries with greater COVID-19 transmission risk [News from the State Emergency Operations Center] MIOSHA focuses efforts on protecting employees in service industries with greater COVID-19 transmission risk LANSING, MICH. To protect employees, customers and communities from the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) launched a State Emphasis Program (SEP) focused on retail, restaurant, bar and service industry establishments that addresses the need for increased partnership, education and enforcement to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread. "The vast majority of employers are working hard to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and its impact on their business and the economy. This new initiative is aimed at helping them educate employees and customers on best practices and assure that all workplaces remain safe for the community," Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity Director Jeff Donofrio said. The focus of this SEP is to educate and seek compliance with guidelines and rules that will protect workers and customers in locations serving the public where community spread of COVID-19 is a risk. The SEP includes businesses such as bars and restaurants, gas stations and convenience stores, grocery stores and other retail establishments. Recently, Michigan has seen an uptick across the state<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. MIOSHA will conduct inspections by referral or randomly at bars and restaurants, gas stations and convenience stores, grocery stores and other retail establishments to review how rules are being followed, educate and enhance compliance. While inspections will seek to help employers comply with safety standards, if the inspections determine major deficiencies in the employer's COVID-19 preparedness and response plans, citations and penalties up to $7,000 may be issued. "MIOSHA staff will evaluate the employer's compliance with existing MIOSHA standards along with Governor Gretchen Whitmer's Executive Orders and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as they pertain to protecting workers," MIOSHA Director Bart Pickelman said. "Employers need to put certain safeguards in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety and health of their employees." Guidance and resources are posted at Michigan.gov/COVIDWorkplaceSafety<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> in accordance with requirements of the Governor's Executive Orders, CDC guidance and OSHA Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19. A few of the steps that restaurants, bars, and other retail businesses must take include: * Conducting daily health screenings of employees and contractors, * Requiring employees and customers wear face coverings properly, * Considering changes to indoor ventilation to reduce transmission risk, * Implementing enhanced cleaning protocols when employees or the public become sick, * Posting required signs and notifying customers of their obligation to wear face coverings, if medically tolerated, and not entering if they feel sick, * Maintaining compliance with social distancing and capacity limits of the establishment, and * Ensuring that they have and use a preparedness and response plan. The MIOSHA Consultation Education and Training (CET) Division will use outreach activities as an opportunity to raise awareness among employers, employees and safety and health professionals on the best practices for COVID-19 preparedness and response plans in the SEP identified industries. CET consultants are available to help employers develop and implement long-term safety and health programs and comply with current MIOSHA regulations. For free statewide assistance, companies can call the CET Division at 517-284-7720 or toll-free at 800-866-4674. Employers and employees with questions regarding workplace safety and health may contact MIOSHA using the new hotline at 855-SAFE-C19 (855-723-3219).
