mass max paperback shelving
by TJ Smith 23 Jul '22

23 Jul '22

We've always shelved our paperbacks on wire spindle racks for the massive linear foot to floor space ratio. It seems more publishers are moving to a new 'mass max' size for paperbacks (4.75" x 7" compared to the previous 4.125" x 6.75"; not the extra tall paperbacks, but a new wider paperback) and this size won't fit into the racks we have. What shelving do you use for paperbacks? Looking for input on what you like/don't like and things to consider while we begin looking at different shelving options. I'll post consolidated responses back to the list. Thanks! -- Ms. TJ Smith Library Director Sherman Township Library (989) 644-5131 ***REMINDER** Please update your contact information for me and remove the address that ends in shermantwplib.org <http://shermantwplib.org>.

Student Liaison - Board
by Laura Fromwiller 22 Jul '22

22 Jul '22

Happy Friday! Our library board is interested in hearing the experience of other libraries that have or had a student liaison (high school student) attend board meetings. What was the initial goal of adding a liaison? Is that goal met? What/how does the student contribute to the board? If you tried having a liaison and it didn't work out, why? Did you explore the idea but decide not to add a liaison? Why? Thank you very much, *Laura Fromwiller, **Director * *Brandon Township Public Library* *(248) 627-1474* *ENGAGE · EDUCATE · ENRICH · EMPOWER * *brandonlibrary.org* <http://brandonlibrary.org>

In separate studies, both researchers used LENA technology<https://www.lena.org/technology/> to measure children's language environments and found that the children born after the start of COVID vocalized less and experienced fewer conversational turns than their peers born before the pandemic.
