Individual and Group Therapy for Library Staff
by Dillon Geshel 03 Aug '20

03 Aug '20

Good Morning, All! Last Wednesday, Library of Michigan staff hosted a Zoom meeting for Libraries who have already resumed some in-person services. In that meeting, one participant mentioned that their library had hired a therapist for one-on-one and group therapy for their staff. I am very interested in this idea, but don't recall who mentioned it! If this was your library, I would greatly appreciate it if you would reach out to me. Thank you!

Program Recommendation
by Meghan Mott 03 Aug '20

03 Aug '20

Hello, Last week we hosted Urb Appeal Tours for a virtual tour of Detroit, an online version of a tour they also conduct in person. Jon did a great overview of the major neighborhoods (Downtown, Midtown, New Center, Corktown with a couple others thrown in). The tour we scheduled was Detroit: Past, Present and Future and he did cover the whole range - from interesting historical facts of places like the Hudson's and the Guardian Building all the way through artist renderings of what is projected for places like the Michigan Central Depot and the Riverfront near the Ambassador bridge. We did a Q&A at the end and he was able to answer questions handily as well! If you're interested in a virtual tour, Jon can be reached at jon(a)urbappealtours.com<mailto:jon@urbappealtours.com> or you can visit the website at http://urbappealtours.com/ Sincerely, Meghan Mott (she/hers) Outreach Librarian Clinton-Macomb Public Library Main Branch Mmott(a)cmpl.org<mailto:Mmott@cmpl.org> 586-226-5055

Need Help with a Reference Question About a Book Title
by Roy Soncrant 03 Aug '20

03 Aug '20

Hello Everyone, I read this book about 25 years ago, so I know the book the patron is asking about and I can recall some information about the book, which is good as he has not actually read it. Here is what I have: 1. It is a collection of articles on psychology and/or neurobiology. I do not know if the chapters were written for the book or are reprints. 2. It was probably published sometime between 1966 and 1980, with late 1960's to early 1970's being the most likely. 3. One of the articles was written by Jose Manuel Rodriguez Delgado. 4. There is also an article about EEG testing on meditators. Sorry, but that is all I have. Thanks, Roy Soncrant Genesee District Library Davison Branch Librarian
