External book club policy
by jshirtz 20 May '21

20 May '21

Hello great brain! We have several teachers/guidance counselors in our area who lead book clubs at their schools using our items and ILLs. Until recently we've haven't had any real issues with getting items back and/or communication with the book club lead, but that seems to be changing. I'd like to have a better plan for the next school year. Does anyone have a policy or even just a summary of how they interact with external book clubs? Bonus points if it's with a school/teacher. Thanks for your help! Jesse -- Jessica Shirtz (she/her/hers) Library Director Ishpeming Carnegie Public Library 317 N. Main Street Ishpeming, MI 49849 jshirtz(a)uproc.lib.mi.us 906-486-4381 www.ishpeminglibrary.info

Lighting Issues
by Megan Summers 19 May '21

19 May '21

Hello everyone, At my library, we are waiting on funding to fix some electrical issues that have caused one of our popular browsing areas to go dim. In the meantime, we want to figure out how to illuminate the area. Does anyone have experience finding alternative forms of lighting to make dark areas brighter? We are considering getting dim, wireless LED lights to attach underneath shelves. Please share any successes, products, or insights! Thank you. :) -- Megan Summers Adult Services Librarian Royal Oak Public Library 222 E 11 Mile Rd., Royal Oak, MI 48067 www.ropl.org p: 248.246.3724
