[A white letter on a blue green and red background Description automatically generated with low confidence]Delicacies like ramps and morel mushrooms are abundant in Michigan’s forests throughout springtime. Have you wondered what other foods grow in the wild, just waiting for foragers to discover them each year? The Michigan eLibrary<https://mel.org/welcome> (MeL.org) has articles and eBooks that describe how to locate, identify, and prepare a variety of edible plants. Hobbies & Crafts Reference Center Hobbies & Crafts Reference Center<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> includes several magazines that feature wild food and foraging articles. If you’re new to foraging, A Beginner’s Guide to Wilderness Survival Foods: Start Your Foraging Adventures<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> in BC Outdoors is a great place to start. This article describes several common edible plants such as dandelions, stinging nettles, and cattails and includes information about when and where to find them and how to prepare them. Alexis Nikole Nelson and Twila Cassadore share how their knowledge of foraging has evolved in a Food & Wine article titled Found Foods<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>. Living in Columbus, Ohio, Nelson harnesses the power of social media to share her foraging adventures. Cassadore, a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, is working to record, preserve, and teach about foraging in native communities by interviewing tribal elders so their knowledge can be shared with future generations. This article also provides expert recommendations to read, connect with, and view to learn more about foraging. Getting started with eating more wild foods might be as simple as having great recipes. Go Wild with Foraged Foods<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> in Vegan Journal provides recipes to help make using a variety of ingredients easier. Included are recognizable ideas such as blackberry pancakes and more exotic options as watercress bisque or a stew made with oyster mushrooms. In addition, this article provides a list of tips to stay safe while foraging in the wild. eBook Public Library Collection The eBook Public Library Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> provides more extensive information about wild foods and foraging. A few of the many available options include: * The Beginner’s Guide to Mushrooms: Everything You Need to Know, From Foraging to Cultivating<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> by Britt Bunyard and Tavis Lynch * Basic Illustrated Edible Wild Plants and Useful Herbs<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> by Jim Meuninck * Dandelion Hunter: Foraging the Urban Wilderness<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> by Rebecca Lerner * Good Seeds: A Menominee Indian Food Memoir<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> by Thomas Pecore Weso * Whether it’s your first trip into the woods or you’re an expert at locating and preparing wild foods, Hobbies & Crafts Reference Center<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> and the eBook Public Library Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> from MeL.org<https://mel.org/welcome> provide information that can make your foraging adventures a success.

Rubber bands
by Syntha Green 14 Jun '23

14 Jun '23

Hello Michigan peeps! Forever ago our Admin brought us a giant box of rubber bands that are like 7/8" in diameter in the hopes that we could use them for crafts. We have used them for Tie Dye, we have made spoon catapults etc, etc and now we would like the box to go away (reno is nearing). If you would like an abundance of rubber bands (box says there were approx 7100 originally and it looks to be 3/4 full) I would be happy to send them your way, or split it into halves or thirds but there will be no counting (I promise it doesn't even look like we used any). They originally were used to rubber band the cash register receipt rolls, so if you want them for that too? Rides code, and this plethora of rubber bands can be yours.

waiving lost fines and fees
by Jenn Donner 13 Jun '23

13 Jun '23

Hi everyone! I know that some libraries remove old fines and fees after a certain number of years. Has anyone ever done an amnesty month or event, where if people bring back their books they fees will also be removed? Did you have concerns about repeat offenders when doing that? How old did the fines and fees have to be to be waived? Any info that anyone has would be great. Thanks! Jenn Donner -- Jenn Donner, MLIS, M.Ed.
