question about music collection
by Laura Hauch 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

Hello, We are starting up a music CD collection at our library (Thanks Canton for your donations!!!), and had some questions about organizing. We are planning on organizing by genre, then artist, then title. Issue we're running into right now is classical- do you organize by composer, or by performer? Also curious how other libraries organize, and if you shelf by genre, which genres do you use? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks, Laura Hauch Collection and IT Coordinator Buchanan District Library 128 East Front Street Buchanan, MI 49107 269-695-3681 269-695-0004 Fax www.buchananlibrary.org<http://www.buchananlibrary.org>

Fundraiser Concerns
by Kaitlin Matesich 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

Hello all! I was recently approached to offer my services as a Story Time presenter as a biddable item for a local "Spring Fling" fundraiser. My first instinct was, "I can easily put together a bespoke story time for 5-10 kiddos. Offering literacy services as part of a fundraiser, what a great idea!" but then the reality of the logistics and the idea of individuals paying for a private library/librarian experience set in. Has anyone had a similar experience? What did you, your library or your friends group do? Any suggestions for a literacy focused, biddable experience or item? I don't feel comfortable offering "private" story time services outside of the library setting, and would never want to go to an individual's residence to host a story time. The idea of "selling" a story time or even allowing someone to pick a theme for a program that would be open to the public doesn't sit right (if it is even legal) . -- *Kaitlin Matesich* *Youth Services Coordinator* *Benzie Shores District Library* *630 Main St. Frankfort, MI* My Pronouns: She/Her - See www.mypronouns.org to learn more*.*

Programming Recommendation - Greg Bodker & Birds
by Director 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

Good morning everyone, We recently hosted the "Birding and Birdwatching" program with Greg Bodker at our library and it was a huge success. Greg is responsive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the subject matter - his excitement was infectious for our audience, plus he also tailored the program specifically for our area. The program drew a large audience (our largest since a kids' program from last summer!), with a mix of children, teens, and adults. I would definitely recommend booking Greg for a library program. Best, Kelsey Rutkowski *--------------------------------------* *Library Director* *Indian River Area Library* 3546 S Straits Hwy PO Box 160 Indian River, MI 49749 (231) 238-8581 indianriverlibrary.org
