Dear Librarians, I need clarification about Library board meetings. I know they are open to the public and subject to the Open meetings Act, but can anyone record the board proceedings during a meeting? Also does any library use inside cameras in their children's room?

14 Nov '23

Are you just sitting at home tonight with nothing to do? Join us tonight with Heather Bruegl on Zoom at 6:30pm. Heather Bruegl spoke with us earlier in the year and we felt it was important she was invited back during National Native American Heritage Month. Her program, "We Are Still Here: A Contemporary Indigenous Perspective" focuses on awareness that indigenous people did not just disappear with westward expansion. Native groups remained strong and vibrant communities who continue to fight for sovereignty and justice. Learn about contemporary issues in Indian Country today including the #MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) epidemic, the fight to protect our Earth, and the continued fight for sovereignty. So, please take some time and join us tonight. Here is a direct link to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_coFiNI3LRl-87k2ChyRtOw#/registr… See you there! -- *Betsy Myers* Reference Department Interlibrary Loan/Programming *Traverse Area District Library* 610 Woodmere Ave Traverse City, MI 49686 231 932-8502
