We still invite you to fill out the survey even if you did not use "All Together Now" as your theme. After the survey closes, we will randomly select 5 MI libraries to win logoed MeL playing cards! The survey can be found here: https://forms.gle/5N2agGJmmeqWodJh6 If you would like to view the survey in PDF form, you can find that here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C_QDDsfEuTaHEE2pcuw3WV77RcTpmGQK/view?usp=… FAQs Who should complete this survey? The audience for the survey is public library staff who played an active role in administering or running 2023 summer library programming. One person per library could fill it out, or multiple library staff from the same library could complete the sections of the survey most relevant to their work; e.g. children, teen, or adult programs. * Please coordinate with your colleagues on who will fill it out, especially if you are in a multi-branch system. * This does NOT need to be filled out by Directors. (Adult/YA/Children program overseers can complete their own portions.) Is this survey required? No, it is not required, but we would appreciate your input. Every library that responds helps us get a more accurate picture of overall satisfaction with the program. I want to be prepared. What info will I need to provide? * General feedback on using (or not) the 2023 program theme and materials; * Feedback and info about how/whether you tracked participation, as well as stats for participation and programming for children (ages 0-11), teens (12-18) and adults. You may skip any questions for which you don't have the answers. I suggest you wait until your summer program has ended to complete the survey. When does the survey close? The survey is open from now until Friday, September 8, 2023. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library of Michigan.

Two Program Recommendations
by Plant, Paige 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Please pardon the cross-posting . . . In case he hasn't yet reached market saturation in the library world, I want to give a shout-out to amateur historian Larry Martin (lmww2.com) for his World War II In Their Own Words program. He recently presented his interview with Fred Bahlau to our patrons, and despite some technical problems, it was well-received. Larry is very friendly and knowledgeable, and his interviews are fascinating. I also recommend Brian Rose (bgrosepresents.com) Brian, a professor emeritus at Fordham University, gives Zoom lectures on film and television history. He gave a presentation about the history of the Walt Disney Company for us last month, and it was fun and interesting. He offers webinars on many topics; we're having him back to discuss censorship in Hollywood later this month. "I read everything. The library fed me." --Louise Erdrich, when asked 'What kind of reader were you as a child?'

Film Club Suggestions
by Anna Merritt 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Hello, Our library has been hosting a film club for adults since Fall 2022 and I'm already having trouble coming up with new titles. At first, it was a Classics Film Club, so we pulled from the AFI 100's List, but after a few meetings, a lot of the conversation around "is it a classic" became repetitive. So, we expanded to what might be considered Modern Classics. If there is anyone who also hosts movie discussions for adults, please pass along any titles that you have had success with. If there is enough interest, I'd be happy to start a Google Doc with titles and feedback to share! Anna Merritt Assistant Director Richland Community Library 8951 Park Street Richland, MI 49083 (269) 629-9085 https://www.richlandlibrary.org/ -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A. Project and is believed to be clean.
