Outdoor book return question
by Eric Magness-Eubank 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

We are moving to a temporary location while our facility is being renovated. Our existing book return fell apart during the move. What outdoor returns has michlib-l land found to be durable and able to withstand ice melting products, which I think helped send this one to an early demise? Thanks in advance for the advice. I would be happy to post a summary of responses. Eric Magness-Eubank Library Director Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library emeacl(a)alpenalibrary.org

Molly Mermaid Event
by SF Director Account 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

Hi, everyone. We just had Molly Mermaid for our Story Time on Facebook. She did a wonderful job. She usually does events in person, but she was willing to do our event, online given the COVID situation. She engaged the audience with questions and comments while she was reading her story. She had a small craft and demonstrated it live. She asked questions and answered questions on the live feed. She even answered questions that we had accidentally sent on a private feed not knowing they were our questions, thinking that we were a patron. She was professional, respectful, and engaged the audience in an appropriate manner. She has great reviews from parents for parties, and they were accurate. I highly recommend her as a guest. Adam DeWitt Library Director Fruitport District Library (231) 366-6107 www.fruitportdistrictlibrary.org

Trainings for Michigan library staff on facilitating effective meetings and conversations Do you lead meetings at your library? Do you ever need to facilitate conversations between staff or patrons, and wish you had more training in how to do so effectively? Ever feel ill equipped to handle situations of conflict in a meeting or guide groups to agreement? MCLS will again be offering, in partnership with the Library of Michigan, training presented by We Can Work It Out, LLC<http://www.wecanworkitoutllc.com/> on essential skills for library staff to facilitate effective conversations and meetings. These skills can be used in a variety of settings including staff and work meetings, strategic planning sessions, one-on-one interactions with library patrons, library-sponsored Community Conversations, and focus groups. These workshops, to be held this year online (for your safety and convenience) in September and October, will include learning theory, as well as practice of skills and peer feedback. They will still be very interactive, and we are excited to add a module on facilitating meetings virtually! Because they are funded by the Library of Michigan, these trainings are only open to staff of Michigan libraries. Registration is now open for these small, interactive workshops and we expect them to fill fast, so find out more and claim your spot<https://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/facilitation-training-2020/> today! This project is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services<https://www.imls.gov/>, with additional funding provided by the State of Michigan<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/>. ********************** Jan Davidson Project Manager Engagement, Consulting, and Training Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) 517-492-3811 / toll-free 800-530-9019 x111 davidsonj(a)mcls.org<mailto:davidsonj@mcls.org>
