Honoring Plymouth Trustee Steve Harper
by Carol Souchock 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

The Plymouth District Library, Plymouth community, and Michigan libraries lost a champion earlier this month when library board member Stephen Harper passed away. Steve was a dedicated and passionate volunteer and served the Plymouth community through his leadership in several organizations. The Plymouth District Library has become an anchor institution in the Plymouth community greatly due to Steve’s impact. A few years ago Steve reflected on his role in the creation of the Plymouth District Library: “Libraries are one of the most important public services government can provide. I have worked to give the Plymouth community world-class public library facilities and services.” For his tireless dedication to our Library, our community and libraries across Michigan, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for our friend, Steve Harper. To learn about Steve's impact please visit: https://plymouthlibrary.org/steve-harper/ Carol Souchock Director Plymouth District Library 734-453-0750, ext. 218 [ mailto:csouchock@plymouthlibrary.org | csouchock(a)plymouthlibrary.org ]

Tecumseh District Library hosts "The Flint Water Crisis: Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha's Story " on Zoom on Tuesday, March 23, 2021, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. What the Eyes Don't See is a firsthand, fast-paced account of the Flint Water Crisis through the eyes of Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, the pediatrician who discovered elevated lead levels in Flint children and ultimately alerted government officials and the public about the Flint Water Crisis. During this virtual book talk, you will hear the story of how she stood up to government officials who dismissed the crisis and how she and a small team of crusaders finally got the government to pay attention and take action. Dr. Mona is now the founder and director of the Michigan State University and Hurley Children's Pediatric Public Health Initiative, a model public health program created to mitigate the impact of the crisis. This special virtual presentation is made possible through the generosity of Michigan Humanities and the Friends of Tecumseh District Library. "The 2019-20 Great Michigan Read is presented by Michigan Humanities and supported by national, statewide, and local partners, including the National Endowment for the Humanities and The Meijer Foundation." Call (517) 423-2238 to sign up for the free lecture or register online at https://www.eventkeeper.com/code/ekform.cfm?curOrg=TECUMSEH&curID=481529.

Hello all, Does anyone have an example of a policy or set of guidelines they use when they invite community members to do programs/presentations/guest appearances or when community members ask to speak at the library? E.g., who do they represent, why are they asking to speak, why the library is accepting or rejecting them, etc. I'm happy to compile responses and share them back to the list if anyone's interested! Thanks, Jen -- Jennifer Noble (she/her/hers) Adult & Teen Services Librarian Adrian District Library 143 E. Maumee St. Adrian, MI 49221 jnoble(a)adrian.lib.mi.us (517) 265-2265

Michigan Financial Wellness Month - formerly known as "Money Smart Week"
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

On March 25th, the Michigan House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a resolution to officially proclaim April 2021 as "Financial Wellness Month" in the State of Michigan. If you practice "Money Smart Week," please be aware that due to trademark issues this is now not a usable term. Financial Wellness Month will now be a separate initiative, including a book program from the MI Financial Wellness team. The book program from the initiative will be known now as the Smart Money MI Kids Read. From the MI Financial Wellness team: The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (FRBC) owns the trademark "Money Smart Week" (MSW). Last fall, FRBC began asking former MSW supporters of that campaign to NOT do any local financial literacy programming in 2020 AND 2021 in association with FRBC OR MSW, other than the promotion of their official webinars. In light of the FRBC's directive regarding MSW, Michigan partners gathered via zoom back in October and November to discuss what they believed to be in the best interest of Michigan residents, Michigan partners, and of the financial literacy work we've built together over the past 10 years. It was very clear that Michigan partners did not want to stop offering locally developed and delivered programming to the residents of our state. And that the need for this programming went well beyond the 8-day period of the FRBC's "Money Smart Week." Hence, the formalization of the Michigan Financial Wellness Network (MFWN), and a year-round Michigan Financial Wellness initiative, with heightened programming and promotion during April (national financial literacy month), as Michigan's Financial Wellness Month campaign. Please contact Kelly Masters with any questions: MiFinancialWellness(a)gmail.com<mailto:MiFinancialWellness@gmail.com> (note her updated email) or visit www.MiFinancialWellness.org<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mifina…> for details on the new direction for the newly named collaborative.
