Please register at https://form.123formbuilder.com/2415744?wwwNgRedir for this interesting event. Praise from D.W. Allen, author of Dappled Psychiatric, “Reading Walking Home, my astonishment that a woman who had never slept in a tent and had balance issues would undertake an almost 300-mile backpacking trek on one of the toughest trails in North America matured into something deeper: an appreciation that being in touch with nature helps us be in touch with ourselves. I think you’ll enjoy this book. It’s great.” Register on our website at https://hollylibrary.org/events. The Zoom link will be emailed the morning of the event. Please share with your library community and staff. Tina -- Tina Marie Russette Adult/Teen Services Manager Holly Township Library 1116 N. Saginaw St. Holly, MI 48442 248-634-1754

Digitization Lab equipment question
by Jameson, Dennis 03 Aug '21

03 Aug '21

For those libraries around the state that offer Digitization Labs to their residents/cardholders like our library (Dearborn Public Library) does, do you convert reel-to-reel 8mm film (video) to digital format? If so, what equipment are you using to do the conversion? Are you satisfied with its reliability? We offered the service for the few patrons who brought in 8mm/Super8 film reels, but recently had to suspend converting that format due to the unreliability of the hardware we are using (Wolverine unit for about $300 that only accepts 3"-5" reels, not 7" or larger). It would keep stopping and have to be restarted, even if the reels were visibly in great condition. Do any libraries out there have other brands of 8mm/Super8 film converters that are more commercial grade as opposed to consumer grade? If money were no option, what would you like to purchase that you don't have? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Summer Library Program Survey
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 03 Aug '21

03 Aug '21

Please --> forward to those in charge of summer library programming at your library. Thanks! REMINDER: Please complete this summer library program survey<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBq6Yof5mW1gGzDeHroUQ7h09MRZ94kEW…> from the Collaborative Summer Library Program - even if you didn't use "Tails and Tales" this year! CSLP has created a survey so they can better assess the usefulness of the materials offered by the program on a national level to better serve you, the CSLP membership! (Did you know? All Michigan public libraries are members of CSLP, even if your library opts not to use the slogan/artwork/manual, because LM covers your membership fees on a statewide level using IMLS/LSTA funds.) The survey can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBq6Yof5mW1gGzDeHroUQ7h09MRZ94kEW… FAQs Who should complete this survey? The audience for the survey is public library staff who played an active role in administering or running 2021 summer library programming. One person per library could fill it out, or multiple library staff from the same library could complete the sections of the survey most relevant to their work; e.g. children, teen, or adult programs. * Please coordinate with your colleagues on who will fill it out, especially if you are in a multi-branch system. * This does NOT need to be filled out by Directors. (Adult/YA/Children program overseers can complete their own portions.) * EVEN IF YOU DID NOT USE "TAILS and TALES" AS YOUR THEME, we invite you to complete the survey! Is this survey required? No, it is not required, but we would appreciate your input. Every library that responds helps us get a more accurate picture of overall satisfaction with the program. I want to be prepared. What info will I need to provide? * General feedback on using (or not) the 2021 program theme and materials; * (Optional) 2023 "All Together Now," and 2024 Adventure theme feedback; * Feedback and info about how/whether you tracked participation, as well as stats for participation and programming for children (ages 0-11), teens (12-18) and adults. You may skip any questions for which you don't have the answers. I suggest you wait until your summer program has ended to complete the survey. When does the survey close? The survey is open from now until Friday, September 17, 2021. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for sharing your input! This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
