Laser Cutter for Sale
by Jaclyn Miller 05 May '21

05 May '21

Hi everyone, To make room for a newer machine, The Idea Lab at Baldwin Public Library is putting our trusty laser up for sale! It is a Full Spectrum H-Series CO2 laser, with a work area of 20 inches by 12 inches. When purchased over 4 years ago, the laser had a 40-watt tube. The tube has been going for over 7000 hours, and is all but completely burned out: the current cutting power is estimated at fewer than 10 watts. However, a replacement 40-watt tube can be purchased directly from Full Spectrum, and easily installed by the new owner. After installing a new tube, the cutting power would be restored to the original wattage. This package includes the following items: - Full Spectrum H-Series 20x12 - Riser, for engraving tall or thick objects) - Rotary Tool, for engraving cylindrical objects like drinkware - Air Assist Pump (x2. The original included by Full Spectrum, and an unused, untested "quiet" aquarium-style air pump) - CW-3000 industrial coolant chiller and circulator - All cables and tubing, for power, data, air and water - A compact, switched power strip - A wheeled cart to house the laser and associated items (faux wood laminate) We are asking for $2000 for the entire package. Local pickup only. Be aware, this laser does require powered ventilation or filtration (exterior ventilation required). Contact Idea Lab Supervisor Jeff Jimison with inquiries or questions: jeff.jimison(a)baldwinlib.org [image: IMG_1677.JPEG][image: IMG_1678.JPEG][image: IMG_1679.JPEG][image: IMG_1680.JPEG] -- *Jaclyn Miller* *Associate Director* Baldwin Public Library 300 W.

Daily Computer Clean Up Recommendations
by Ben Knight 05 May '21

05 May '21

Hello Everyone, We at Loutit District Library are looking for a solution (software or otherwise) to clean up patron files and internet history every day from our public computers. We'd previously been using DeepFreeze for clean up, but we started noticing some serious performance issues with the computers after we'd upgraded to Windows 10. They'd freeze and crash pretty regularly, and removing DeepFreeze pretty much solved the problem. If anyone out there has some DeepFreeze alternatives or other solutions, we'd love to hear them! For background, we're running Windows 10 and using mConsole for our time and printer management. Thank you in advance! -- <http://loutitlibrary.org/> Ben Knight Reference & Information Librarian he/him (what’s this? <https://www.mypronouns.org/>) 616.850.6935 | loutitlibrary.org 407 Columbus Ave. Grand Haven, MI 49417 Expanding Horizons.

Just to clarify a statement in the previous announcement, the Digital Michigan Newspaper Portal does NOT review the functionality of the newspaper websites nor verify their content. Sorry for the error in the earlier message. From: Michlib-l <michlib-l-bounces(a)mcls.org> On Behalf Of Whitledge, Bryan R via Michlib-l Sent: Wednesday, May 5, 2021 1:17 PM To: michlib-l(a)mail3.mcls.org Subject: [External] [Michlib-l] Identifying Michigan Online Newspapers Help Us Find Online Newspaper Resources The Clarke Historical Library is seeking your help in identifying online Michigan newspapers that can be included in the Digital Michigan Newspaper Portal, https://www.cmich.edu/library/clarke/Pages/Michigan-Digital-Newspaper-Porta… The portal was originally created as a "one stop" location to find online historical newspapers printed in the state of Michigan.

We include all online Michigan papers, regardless of the terms of access. We do note, however, whether a particular newspaper is free to use or if there is payment required to pass through the newspaper's door. Many contemporary papers use a hybrid model, allowing some free access, but then imposing a fee for further use of the website. The portal we maintain offers the link to a paper's "front door." The Digital Michigan Newspaper Portal does review the functionality of the website nor verify its content. By including both historical and contemporary online newspaper sources, we hope to diminish an artificial line found in many library resources that has been drawn between "old" and "new" online newspaper resources. Simply put, online newspapers are online newspapers, whether they report the news from yesterday or from a yesterday of a century past. The only issue is what information the user is seeking, whether from 2021 or 1921.

The Teen Video Challenge, sponsored by the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), is an annual national video contest open to all teens (librarian and teacher support is encouraged).

Videos are to be no longer than 60 seconds and should promote libraries and reading. https://www.cslpreads.org/programs/teen-program/2021-teen-video-challenge/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> Videos will be accepted June 1 through August 6, 2021. * The contest is open to teens 13-18 (though it's fine for people older or younger to appear in the videos). * The process is simple; teens just need to upload their video to the social media outlet of their choice, submit a link to their video, and complete a simple online form. * Videos will be limited to 60 seconds, making this a doable project for individuals or small teams. * Teens/teen teams may submit more than one video. * The program will accept submissions June 1-Aug 6, 2021, so that it can be incorporated into your summer program (it's still a great opportunity to partner with schools with video production classes or clubs; students can produce the videos as a class project and submit them in June!) * Permission and model release forms will only be required from the winning entries (completing the forms is a requirement to receive prizes and acknowledgement). * There will be 5 national winners, who will each receive a cash prize of $200.

Please see details below - registration is open through June 1. Spring is coming and so is an exciting new event designed just for YOU! It's a free virtual mini-conference on fundraising! We have missed you all and we wanted to offer an opportunity for us to gather and learn from our peers about innovative ways to fundraise for our libraries. COVID-19 caused many of us to have dramatic decreases in our fundraising efforts over the course of 2020 but it also provided an opportunity for most Friends and Foundation groups to pivot and completely revisit their fundraising and development strategies. Join us for this virtual mini-con to hear about some of these strategies and programs. It is our hope that you will be inspired to replicate an idea or two from our mini-con and build those budgets back up. And the mini-conference is free! As an added bonus, New York Times Best-Selling author of "The Paris Library" Janet Skelsien Charles will be joining us live all the way from Paris, France! Below is the link to register. We will be using Zoom for this event. Space is limited, register today! Last day to register is June 1. www.swapfundraising.eventbrite.com<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.swapfu…> What: A Free Virtual Mini-Conference on Fundraising Date: Wednesday, June 9 12:30 pm - 2 pm Pacific Time Theme: Fundraising Where: Via Zoom We apologize for any cross posting We look forward to "seeing" you on June 9!
