This year's festival theme is "Books Bring Us Together." As the exhibitor representing the Michigan Center for the Book<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> and the Library of Michigan, she enjoyed promoting Michigan literature and meeting attendees with Michigan connections (see photo collage below). Founded in 2001 by First Lady Laura Bush and then-Librarian of Congress James H. Billington, the Library of Congress National Book Festival is an annual literary event that brings together best-selling authors, poets and illustrators with thousands of readers for book talks, panel discussions, book signings and other engaging activities. Over the last several decades, the Festival has become one of the most prominent literary events in the nation [information taken from the website National Book Festival -- History<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>]. The Michigan Center for the Book selected "R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul"<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> as the 2022 Great Reads from Great Places<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> Michigan title for the National Book Festival.

Although the National Book Festival is over for 2022, there is plenty of great content available on the event's website: https://www.loc.gov/events/2022-national-book-festival/about-this-event/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. We look forward to the next one in 2023!

Publications like these provide a wide range of information related to Michigan fraternal orders. They often include: * Agendas and lists of primary participants at the yearly conclave or encampment * Transcriptions of speeches * Annual reports from committees within the order * Election results of officers * Directory of Subordinate Commanderies * Memorials for deceased members * And much more! These publications are excellent resources for both family history researchers and scholars interested in the historical activities of the Knights Templar in Michigan. The Library of Michigan is always looking to acquire more volumes like these published by either the Knights Templar or other fraternal orders from the state of Michigan. Interested donors with Michigan fraternal order assembly/conclave proceedings can contact the Library of Michigan at 517-335-1477 or Librarian(a)Michigan.gov<mailto:Librarian@Michigan.gov>.

Greetings, and happy Friday! The strategic plan for our library includes consideration of adding a non-voting high school aged student to the board in an advisory capacity. If your board includes a student advisor, I'd like to be your new best friend! Specifically, I'm looking for any information about how the board and student advisor interact; how the advisor's role is defined; benefits noted; policies covered; etc. That's a lot for a Friday. Many thanks for your time, whenever you happen to have it! -Sharon Sharon CrotserToy Director St. Ignace Public Library 110 West Spruce Street St. Ignace, MI 49781 (906) 643-8318

Unattended Children Policy
by AW Cierra Bakovka 09 Sep '22

09 Sep '22

Hi all, What's everyone's unattended children policy/age to be in the library without an adult? How do you handle it when a younger one shows up with an older sibling (14-17)? Our current policy is 6 years old, but the staff and I feel this is too young and would like to compare. Thanks! Cierra Bakovka, MLIS Director Henika District Library 149 South Main St. Wayland, MI 49348 269-792-2891 ext. 309 waycb(a)llcoop.org

Service Contracts with Neighboring Townships
by BillieJo Bluemer 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

Hello, As our contract with a neighboring township for library service needs to be re-signed, my Library Board is gathering information. Especially looking for information from Class 2 size libraries. If you have a contract with a township, village, etc. could you answer the following questions: 1. What is the contract's flat out fee (not including penal fines/state aid)? 2. What is the population of your area that provides millage funds and what is the population of the contract service? 3. How many cardholders in the contract service area plus total in all do you serve? 4. How do you calculate what the contract flat fee should be? 5. What Class size library are you? We are reviewing options of how to calculate a flat contract fee as penal fines in our county have dropped significantly and the amount we receive via the contract has actually decreased/remained stagnant over the last 11 years and my Board is thinking this is not fair to our township who funds us through a millage in perpetuity which has increased a lot in 11 years. Thank you. BillieJo Bluemer Director Rauchholz Memorial Library 1140 N Hemlock Rd Hemlock MI 48626 989-642-8621
