Hello Library Friends- I'm sure you've seen the EveryLibrary emails about the 5K Your Way event that they are sponsoring. I started a Michigan MAME team thinking that I would just send it out to our school library listserv...but I decided to go bigger. If you were planning on joining or didn't want to join without a team...please click on the Smore I put together and then on the Michigan Team page. MAME is all about supporting all libraries since we all need each other. We are grateful to EveryLibrary for promoting the 3 school library bills and I love signing up for fun things :) https://www.smore.com/cs48d Here is the direct team page: https://everylibrary.securesweet.com/teampage.asp?fundid=1373#.YR6cP45KiUm I hope you will consider joining us.

by Kamps Tsao, Wendy A 19 Aug '21

Where I work, we keep a paper tally of reference statistics that get manually entered into an Excel spreadsheet. We are interested in simplifying this process. Can you tell me what your library uses and your feedback on that method. Bonus if your method is free. Thank you!
