Angeline Boulley virtual visit?
by Klaudia Janek 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

Is anyone hosting a virtual visit with Angeline Boulley anytime between December and March 2022? Just wondering. We are reading her book for a literacy event at Oakland Schools and think it would be great to have a bunch of teachers and librarians attend a virtual event hosted by a public library. Last time we had teachers registered who were not really aware of the awesome programming that was going on with all of our Michigan public libraries....so this could be a great collaborative opportunity :) My staff gets bombarded with all the great public library events that are open to everyone ;) Let me know. Thanks!

Sample Outreach Policies
by Tamara Denby 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

Hello my library-world friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I'm wondering if any of you would be willing to share your library's outreach policy? Our staff would love to provide some services outside the library, but our board would like to get a policy drafted before that happens. There are so many factors to consider. What types of organizations/events we are able to visit, the criteria for decision-making, maximum limits per year, etc. I would be forever grateful for anything you are willing to share. Many thanks, and have a great week! -- Tamara Denby Clinton Township Public Library - Lenawee A Universe of discoveries at your fingertips
