That specific order has been rescinded and superseded by EO 176 & 181. From: Kat Boyer <librarykat.15(a)gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2020 3:20 PM To: Amber Alexander <director(a)pidl.org> Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] EO 2020-181 - Amendment to Safe Start Order EO 2020-176- Change for Regions 6 & 8! CORRECTION My understanding is that a group within the library can be no more than 10. So, if you had like storytime you could only have up to 10 people in the storytime. But the entire building capacity can be 25% of the library capacity. This is kind of how Clare described it in some of the Friday meetings.

Re: [Michlib-l] EO 2020-181
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 16 Sep '20

16 Sep '20

To clarify: This 10 person restriction is the same one that has been in effect for a while in regions 1-5 & 7 (most of the state south of the top of the mitten). ALL this 10 person limit applies to are situations where people congregate in close proximity – parties, meetings, programs, weddings, etc. It DOES NOT apply to library occupancy overall. Libraries in regions 1-5, & 7 are still under the occupancy restrictions in section 6 of E) 2020-175 (the workplace restrictions) that restrict libraries and retail to 25% of occupancy for buildings with less than 50,000 sq ft of public space, and to 1 person per 100 sq ft for those libraries and retail with buildings of more than 50,000 sq ft of public space. Libraries in regions 6 & 8 are exempt from the occupancy limitations in EO 2020-175, but must limit situations where people from different households may get together for a shared activity. Thanks!

Viewers of the author conversations video series can explore the backgrounds of the authors on the 2020 Michigan Notable Book list, as well as uncover their creative processes, and hear readings from book selections. "This innovative new series makes for a great expansion of our popular annual notable books list," State Librarian Randy Riley said. "The series gives more exposure to the books and authors on the list and helps promote literacy and learning." He said the series will become a fixture of future years' programs. Featured 2020 author conversations titles include: The Girls: An All-American Town, a Predatory Doctor, and the Untold Story of the Gymnasts Who Brought Him Down by Abigail Pesta; Camera Hunter: George Shiras III and the Birth of Wildlife Photography by James H. McCommons; Shades: Detroit Love Stories by Esperanza Cintrón; We Hope for Better Things by Erin Bartels; and All Manner of Things by Susie Finkbeiner. The videos are available on YouTube at https://bit.ly/2D8tTfk<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. Tim Gleisner from the Library of Michigan's special collections has read all of this year's notable book selections and interviewed several of the authors. He said some authors read passages from their works, a couple opted to give their own presentations, and State Librarian Riley enthusiastically interviewed Dean Kuipers, who wrote The Deer Camp: A Memoir of a Father, A Family, and the Land That Healed Them. "They were so engaging," Gleisner said of the authors. "What I found so amazing was that several of them are educators from universities to high schools." The series includes 12 authors now, with five more author interviews being added in the coming weeks. Every year, the LM selects up to 20 notable books either written by a Michigan resident or about Michigan or the Great Lakes. The selected titles are honored in the year after their publication or copyright date. The celebration of the state's literary heritage, with roots stretching back to 1991, features the Night for Notables and the annual grant-funded authors' tour of libraries statewide.
