Genre Classification Labels-FREE
by Betsy Myers 16 Aug '22

16 Aug '22

As we are spring cleaning (a bit late in the year, I know!) we came across some genre classification labels that we no longer use and would like to pass along to a library that may benefit from them. If you want one, you will get them all--one shot out the door. First one to send me your RIDES code wins! I have attached a picture but if it does not come through well, the labels are Music, Bestseller, Former Bestseller, Cars, Movie Tie-In, Careers, Criticism and Horror & Suspense. [image: Genre Labels.jpg] -- *Betsy Myers* Reference Department Interlibrary Loan/Programming *Traverse Area District Library* 610 Woodmere Ave Traverse City, MI 49686 231 932-8502 *I am currently listening to Sparring Partners by John Grisham, Nightwork by Nora Roberts and reading Out of the Clear Blue Sky by Kristan Higgins*

Please note that Plymouth Rocket's KitKeeper is currently down and they are working to resolve the issue. During this time NASA @ My Library kits are not available to reserve, nor can Library of Michigan staff view any current reservations. If you are awaiting a kit to be checked out and shipped to you, please contact me ASAP so we can get that out to you. I'll update once KitKeeper is up and running again.

It's a happy Monday that I get to share that the Library of Michigan's NASA @ My Library Kits<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-88855_89743_89748--…> are back in circulation for Michigan's public libraries! While these kits were built for in-person programming, you may also consider creating grab-and-go programming around the projects to serve at-home participants. TO RESERVE A KIT: 1) Reserve a kit via KitKeeper<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-88855_90022---,00.h…> 2) Schedule and advertise programs for the public during the period your library has reserved the kit. The kit projects and "unpacking" videos are all on our website at www.Mi.gov/NaML<http://www.Mi.gov/NaML> to help you prepare. 3) Return kit to the Library of Michigan on time so the next library can receive it for their programming and complete the required survey. For more information on the NASA@ My Library project in Michigan, please head to our website at www.Mi.gov/NaML<http://www.Mi.gov/NaML> or contact me. This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
