Upcoming program at Dearborn Public Library: Life Skills
by Henry Fischer 29 Mar '22

29 Mar '22

Hi everyone, Dearborn Public Library is starting a series of “Life Skills” programs (flyer attached). The first installment in the series is “How to Fix a Leaky Faucet,” which will be presented on Wednesday, March 30, 6:30 – 7:00 p.m. In this program, library staff will demonstrate how to use one of the library’s free databases, Home Improvement Reference Center, to help fix a leaky faucet. The second installment is “How to Jump Start a Car,” which will be presented on Wednesday, April 6, 6:30 – 7:00 p.m. In this program, library staff will show how to use another one of the library’s free databases, Consumer Reports, for step-by-step instructions on how to jump start a vehicle. Staff will also suggest a tool to have that is even better than jumper cables. The third in the series is “How to Use a Generator,” presented on Wednesday, May 4, 6:30 – 7:00 p.m. Here library staff will return to Consumer Reports, this time to show how to use it for help in selecting a portable generator, and staff will go over instructions on using generators, which are an invaluable tool to have during a power outage. All of these programs will be online through Zoom. To register: visit the events calendar at dearbornlibrary.org. A Zoom link will be sent to your email or phone once you are registered. Please stay tuned for other programs in the “Life Skills” series. If you have ideas for other topics that could be covered, or if you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you!

by Brian Johnston 28 Mar '22

Hello Everyone, Does your library have a cap on what you charge patrons for faxes? For example, maybe you charge $1 per page but no matter how many pages it is, you never charge more than, say, $10? If so, please let me know how you came to the decision to do that and how it was received by staff and patrons. Thanks, Brian R. Johnston Adult Services Librarian Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W. John Beers Road Stevensville, MI 49127 (269) 429-9575 bjohnston(a)lincolnlib.org
