"Trauma in the Library" is the first nationwide study of how library staff experience trauma as part of their daily work. Funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS: RE-246341-OLS-20), the aims of this two-year project, are to understand the types of situations that create workplace stress for library staff; the range and prevalence of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) factors that library staff experience; recommend appropriate trauma-informed care methods for library staff; and design MLIS curricula on trauma-informed care for library staff. This is open to current or former library employees who worked in or for libraries associated with the United States. This is a research project under the primary investigator Dr. Karen Fisher, being conducted by Lexa Gambrill, a research coordinator at the University of Washington. It should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Take care, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

Summer Reading Prizes
by Justine Peterson 26 May '22

26 May '22

Hello everyone! Summer reading is nigh, and I'm a little stumped about prizes this year. I've got my little ones, and thanks to a giant donation of kid's books, I plan on having a book bin that kids can choose from, but when it comes to the bigger prizes I'm not sure what to grab. We're a small library, so we've got a short leash when it comes to the budget. But please, tell me about your kids, teens and adult prizes! Thanks! *Justine Peterson* (She/her) Library Director Seville Township Library Riverdale, MI 48877 P: 989.833.7776 seville.michlibrary.org
