Patron Privacy and Hold pick up
by Sara Ault 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

Hello, Right now our patron accounts are good for 3 years. On our application, patrons can designate who they would like to have to pick up their holds. After attending a patron privacy seminar the concern was brought up that maybe we need to be updating this information more often than every 3 years. Does your library update who can pick up holds (we keep ours behind the desk) more often than at the 3 year (or however long your accounts are good for) renewal? Thanks, Sara -- Sara Ault Circulation Manager & Adult Collection Development Brandon Township Public Library 304 South St. Ortonville, MI 48462 248-627-1460 *ENGAGE **•** EDUCATE **•** ENRICH **•** EMPOWER*

FREE computer tables
by Tina Russette 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

Hello Everyone, We are hoping to give away our old computer tables to anyone who can use them. All of the items are in good condition. We have two tables that are 9 feet long and 30" deep and one double-sided table that is also 9 feet long and 60" wide (total, 30" on either side). All of these tables are 29 inches high. We have another table that is 48" in diameter and only 24" high with foldable legs; I think this table was used in the children's department. I have included pictures for the computer tables. If you're interested in the round table, I can provide a picture. Only the tables are available, nothing else in the pictures. [image: table1 2Jun2021.jpg] [image: table1a 2Jun2021.jpg] [image: table1b 2Jun2021.jpg] [image: table2 2Jun2021.jpg] If you are interested, contact me off-list and I can provide more details. tmrussette(a)hollylibrary.org Removal and pick up is your responsibility. Sorry, we can’t deliver. Tina -- Tina Marie Russette Adult/Teen Services Manager Holly Township Library 1116 N. Saginaw St. Holly, MI 48442 248-634-1754

Card Applications
by Katherine Francis 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

Hello, I was wondering if any library had a library card application form that included other options for gender other than male or female that you could share? We recently had a patron who doesn't identify as either and since our applications are outdated I thought it may be best to get something new. Thank you!

Hudson is mourning
by Joann Simmons 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

It is with great sadness we announce the news that our former director, Kathy Hepker, has passed away. Kathy was director here for 35 years, from 1977-2012. She was very supportive of all things Rural Library and served on some of the committees back in the formation of our conferences. It was very important to attend advisory council, Mahoney workshops and Rural Library Conferences to glean all the information we can to build better libraries. She had tales to tell of Roger and Bryon...and how everything always worked out. She is the reason our library is looked to in our community for reference, resource and all things information. She was on Chamber, Kiwanis, Women's Club, Friday Club, Red Hat Society, Hudson Museum Board, Hudson School Board and the Hudson Foundation. Kathy never married but loved her nieces, nephews and the children of our community immensely. She will be missed. Joann Simmons Director Hudson Carnegie District Library (zv170) 205 S. Market St. Hudson MI 49247 517-448-3801 director(a)hudsoncdl.org
