Forwarding on behalf of: Ciara Linden-See contact info at the end of their message

Subj: 1980s Communist Chinese Propaganda Poster Donation Hello, I am looking to donate 17 Chinese Propaganda Posters to any organization that can use them for educational or historical archival purposes. I have attached a PDF with a photo overview and (rough) translations of some of the messages. These were created by the Communist Party of China (as far as I know), printed in the early 1980s and purchased by my family from China in 1985 from a bookseller. At the time of purchase, they were available to support the current government. As you can see, they are lovely and artistic, and mostly appear to be aimed towards the younger generation, preparing them to "serve the motherland". History has shown that regime to be extremely controversial. As far as I researched (I'm no expert!), when Chinese governments change, they collect and destroy all of the previous regime's propaganda. So, the majority of unsold or publicly displayed posters from this time period were either destroyed, or survived privately as Chinese pop art in personal collections -- but reprints or resale in China are not typically available. Please reach out to me if your library or educational institution would benefit from some or all of these posters. If you are in the Detroit area, I would be happy to drop them off. If you are elsewhere, I can mail them. This donation will be of no cost to you. Thank you! Contact: Ciara Linden ciarastella(a)gmail.com<mailto:ciarastella@gmail.com> 734-330-5765 Detroit, MI Thank you, Becky Wartella Department Technician Library of Michigan 702 W.

Responses about Cards for Students from Other Communities
by Jessica Wilhoite 15 Jul '21

15 Jul '21

Hi all, Thank you all for your responses about what do with students in other communities obtaining library cards at YOUR library. Responses are below: We do at ROAK. They get a "Temporary" patron type that is good through the school year. They get 3 items checked out at a time and no holds. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On this link you can see all the ways people qualify for library cards in Southfield and Lathrup Village [ https://southfieldlibrary.org/services/your-library-card/getting-a-card/ | https://southfieldlibrary.org/services/your-library-card/getting-a-card/ ] . Southfield also offers cards to those living, working or attending school in Southfield or Lathrup Village (students must come register with a parent/guardian and documentation from the school such as a current report card or tuition bill). Non-resident cards do not have access to our overdrive or hoopla services so we encourage people to get cards at their home library as well. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We have a ONE card which we offer to students. No parent signature required, they can just sign up for one through their schools. Parents can come in and sign for a full privilege card that is good until the coming September. This is for any child who goes to school in Redford Township. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Taylor also has a policy of providing cards to everyone who lives, works, or attends school in Taylor. Residents of other communities can decide whether they would like to keep/apply for a library card from their home community or to transfer their service to our library. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Many of the students who attend school in our district don't live in Ferndale. We offer students library cards based on the fact that they attend a school in our district. Borrowing privileges/resources may differ from resident to student non-resident cards, but every student who is at least age 5 and up, and is enrolled in FPS is eligible to receive a library card with us. When we did a library card drive for our schools, we got some applications back from kids who lived in another community. We sent them each a letter explaining reciprocal borrowing and included instructions on how to get a card from their library (all were other TLN libraries) and enclosed an application from their library if it was available so that they could fill it out ahead of time and just take it in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We updated our online card application to include a checkbox for Plymouth Canton Schools (so residency does not matter). These specific cards expire June 30th, 2021 so a few weeks after the end of the school year. [ https://plymouthlibrary.org/library-card/ | https://plymouthlibrary.org/library-card/ ] ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ -- Jessica Wilhoite Assistant Director/Youth Services Librarian Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Rd.
