Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 / www.mi.gov/lsta<http://www.mi.gov/lsta> "...this year's National Leadership and Laura Bush grants application..., but with a twist to reach more libraries of all types and sizes. The "Community-Centered Implementation" option focuses on local implementation of a model, tool, or practice that already exists, with a project span of 1-2 years, and a funding range of $25K-100K (no cost share required).

Writers Contest questions
by TDL Programs 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

We need a little help. We are considering hosting a writer's contest at our library. We are reaching out to see if anyone has hosted this kind of event before. If you have, can you share how you ran the event? How works submitted were judged? Also, we are wondering if any other library can share how they have found judges to judge the works submitted. Our writer's group can not judge this event because they want to submit entries. So we need judges from around the area. Thank you for our time.

Toy Lending policies
by Elissa Zimmer 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

Hi all, Does your library lend out toys? Do you have a toy lending policy that is separate from LoT? I'm looking for any specifics around length of checkout, any age restrictions (so an adult would be responsible for replacement), fines, helpful tidbits? Happy to combine findings for anyone interested. Thanks, Elissa -- Elissa Zimmer (she/they) Assistant Director Van Buren District Library 200 N Phelps St Decatur, MI 49045 269-423-4771

Need Help with Trading Cards Tween/Teen Event
by Susan Kallewaard 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

Hello. I received a request from some of my 'tween and teens (grades 6 - 12) for a Trading Card event. We were going to open up the event for any card collections (Pokemon, Magic: the Gathering; Yu-Gi-Oh! and more). Students would be encouraged to trade, view, play, or just hang out and play games. I've heard that the older students could become predatory with younger students and wondered if anyone had procedures in place for a trading card type event? Thanks in advance.
