Chicago Public Library: Museum Pass Program Goes Digital With Statewide, Cooperative Administered Project
by Jim Flury 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

Good Morning, Not Michigan but sharing account there are 16 years of MAP (yes, MAP went live in Fall, 2007) parallels in the below linked WBEZ, NPR podcast. MAP related, have you registered for MLA yet? Be sure to attend the Thursday, October 19, 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. breakout session Dots on the MAP: An EDI Model. Concerning the podcast, you can skip the lead ad by scrolling to the start of the story. [ https://www.wbez.org/stories/chicago-public-library-museum-passes-program-t… | https://www.wbez.org/stories/chicago-public-library-museum-passes-program-t… ] [ https://exploremore.quipugroup.net/?Chicago&_gl=1%2A1jgn10r%2A_ga%2AMTU1NTM…. | https://exploremore.quipugroup.net/?Chicago&_gl=1%2A1jgn10r%2A_ga%2AMTU1NTM…. ] . [ https://exploremoreillinois.org/ | https://exploremoreillinois.org/ ] If you've ever used a CPL museum pass (we have; until very recently we had family who lived in the city) you know how wildly popular they are. The story notes that people would drive all over the city, going from branch to branch, to get one. I can attest that that is true. Now CPL is a participant in a statewide museum pass program called Explore More Illinois, which just happens to be administered by, wait for it, a library cooperative (RAILS). Yeah, one of those organizations😆 Finally, a shoutout here for current TLN Executive Director Steve, who had the vision to lead MAP away from its getting very long in the tooth previous software to the modern product [ https://miactivitypass.org/ | https://miactivitypass.org/ ] patrons enjoy now, and also to previous TLN Executive Director Jim, who had the vision to expand MAP from metro Detroit to statewide, and also for not killing off the program altogether when we proposed converting it from the previously very generously corporate funded, paper based program to a brand new, considerably less well funded, online format. This conversion took place during what were very lean times, meaning that a program like MAP would have been an obvious and easy target to defund completely. Jim spent the majority of his career at CPL, before coming to TLN. I think he would find it very satisfying to see the CPL museum pass program incorporated into that of an IL library cooperative.

MeL Minute: Tools for Personal Financial Literacy from MeL
by Laura Warren-Gross 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

[A white letter on a blue green and red background Description automatically generated]A 2021 Federal Reserve study stated that 32% of adults don’t have enough savings to cover a $400 emergency expense. Financial literacy tools can help everyone plan for the unexpected, as well as a brighter future. Several eResources<https://mel.org/az.php?p=1> in the Michigan eLibrary<https://mel.org/welcome> (MeL) provide knowledge and insight to help both young and young at heart learn to better manage our financial lives. Budgeting and Saving Having an emergency fund is a good way to prepare for unexpected costs. In Kiplinger’s Personal Finance<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> from MasterFILE Complete<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>, “De-Risk Your Finances<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>” offers ideas to help prepare for furlough, layoff, or even job loss. Educating children from a young age about how money works, including budgeting and saving, can be a helpful step toward future financial independence. The eBook Public Library Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> has eBooks to help children and teens navigate important money-related topics including Building a Budget and Savings Plan<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, Teen Guide to Financial Literacy<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, and Financial Literacy for Gen Z: A Practical Guide to Managing Your Financial Life<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>. Adults and entrepreneurs might consider The Memo: Five Rules for Your Economic Liberation<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, Money-Smart Solopreneur: A Personal Finance System for Freelancers, Entrepreneurs, and Side-Hustlers<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, or 10 Ways to Manage Money<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>. Investing for the Future Once a safety net is established, planning for retirement might be a part of one’s goals. To better understand the wide variety of retirement savings plan options, Small Business Reference Center<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> includes the NOLO Guide IRAs, 401(k)s & Other Retirement Plans (15th ed)<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>. This guide provides information about various retirement savings plans, as well as the rules that govern each type. Library Programming Ideas National Financial Literacy Month will be recognized in April 2024. Prepare to celebrate by planning programming for your community. Some ideas include: * Hold a financial literacy event for families with sharing from local experts such as financial planners, insurance agents, and bankers * Design a financial literacy challenge that includes articles and eBooks from the MeL eResources<https://mel.org/az.php?p=1> that patrons can read to be more informed on a range of personal finance topics * Invite families of students who are preparing for college to learn about filling out the FAFSA form and demonstrate the Scholarship Finder in EBSCO LearningExpress<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=lex> Each person’s financial life is different, so not every solution will fit every situation. However, libraries have always been considered valuable resources to the communities they serve. By using the MeL eResources<https://mel.org/az.php?p=1>, we can help families understand how to plan for stable financial futures. If you have any MeL eResources questions or issues, contact melerhelp(a)mcls.org<mailto:melerhelp@mcls.org> for help. Brought to you by Laura Warren-Gross from the MeL Team.
