Beaubien brings a wealth of experience in library leadership and collection and budget management. She joins MCLS from her current role as Associate University Librarian (Academic) at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. In this role, she has been instrumental in steering the Archival & Special Collections, Digital Strategies & Technologies, and Learning & Curriculum Support teams. Beaubien has also been a key player in the library’s engagement with the university's academic mission and has coordinated the library's contributions to the Institutional Quality Assurance Process. Before this role, she was Associate Dean of Curriculum, Research, and User Services at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. Beaubien’s extensive expertise encompasses management, budget oversight, collections, scholarly communication, instruction, user services, library facilities, and pandemic planning. Her return to Michigan marks a significant step for MCLS as it continues to advance its mission of facilitating resource sharing and collaborating with other organizations to benefit Indiana and Michigan libraries. "In previous positions in Michigan academic libraries, I benefited from engaging with MCLS trainings, workshops, collections licensing, and the Michigan Shared Print Initiative (MI SPI). I'm delighted to join the excellent team at MCLS and look forward to working with member libraries, the board, and vendor partners to offer collections and services to Indiana and Michigan libraries," Beaubien said. Executive Director Scott Garrison looks forward to welcoming Beaubien to MCLS’s team, noting that “Sarah’s years of experience, emphasis on building relationships across the library landscape, and ability to lead the eLCR team and join our dedicated management team will serve MCLS and our libraries very well in coming years. As we navigate the transition from Stephanie Davis to Sarah Beaubien in this role, I’m confident that we will be in a great position to continue forward. We wish Stephanie a long, happy, and healthy retirement, and I hope you’ll join us in welcoming Sarah to this very important role at MCLS.” *** Mary Ruthko (she/her) Marketing and Communication Coordinator Midwest Collaborative for Library Services 517-507-4149 ruthkom(a)mcls.org<mailto:ruthkom@mcls.org> [cid:550d5393-942c-45dc-964c-5141ca941601] mcls.org<https://www.mcls.org/> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/mcls.org> | X<https://twitter.com/mclsorg> | LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-collaborative-for-library-services> Schedule a meeting with me<https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/82504839b07649009896aaa10a3d2395…>

Program recommendation: The Story of Vernors Ginger Ale
by David Stokes 08 Aug '24

08 Aug '24

Hello there, Last night we hosted Keith Wunderlich, author of *The Images of America* book *Vernor's Ginger Ale* and president of the Vernor's Ginger Ale Collector's Club, for "The Story of Vernors Ginger Ale." Keith is a long-time collector of Vernors memorabilia and brought samples of some of this collection that he's been adding to for the past 45+ years. He's also very knowledgeable about his topic, and was both a funny & entertaining speaker. Our library provided some Vernors as refreshments--including a case of Black Cherry Vernors that was generously donated to the library, which made our evening just a little more tasty. Now a retired public school educator & administrator, Keith has been getting out on the road to share his love for and the lore of Vernors to libraries, senior centers, retirement homes, etc. David M.

MeL Minute: Pickleball Anyone?
by Ann Kaskinen 08 Aug '24

08 Aug '24

[cid:image002.png@01DAE966.8A9F4280]My neighbor installed a pickleball court in 1983. Little did any of us know that he was on the cutting edge of a new phenomenon. Forty years later the sport has infused itself into retirement communities, public parks, upscale resorts, and even chatter about it becoming the next Olympic competition. Since 2016, Naples, FL has hosted the U.S. Pickleball Championships<https://www.usopenpickleball.com/>, and it recently became Washington’s official state sport. If you’re thinking about picking up a paddle or have already made pickleball part of your daily life, the Michigan eLibrary (MeL) eResources<https://mel.org/az.php> have several articles to help you understand more about the rules, safety, and best places to pickle. Rules According to an article<https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=ec0b5bd6-09ac-3277-9937-4…> in Smithsonian from Humanities Source<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>, in 1984 the United States Amateur Pickleball Association created the sport’s first official rulebook. The eBook Public Library Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> can bring you up to speed on more than just the rules, however. With the 2023 title, Play Pickleball: From Local Sports to the Pro Circuit, An Insider’s Guide to Everyone’s Favorite Sport<https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=cb1b1914-cd67-3fcc-a534-5…>, readers can learn about lingo and equipment, pickleball basics, the amateur scene, and even pro tips. Fitness & Safety Not only is pickleball fun, social and competitive, but it also offers a great way for people of all ages to stay physically active. Consumer Health Complete<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> delivers several articles to help you pickle safely. Prepare Yourself to be a Pickler<https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=5647ddeb-6942-3b28-ba6b-8…>, How to Avoid This Common Pickleball Injury<https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=5452d9e5-59a9-3385-9067-f…>, and The Problem with Pickleball<https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=776d8932-b8bd-37cf-8352-e…> are just a few quick reads to get you started. AARP: The Magazine from Health Source – Consumer Edition<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> also reminds us to Pickleball Smart<https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=95e56a42-c614-3ef6-b06a-6…>. Places to Pickle Pickleball has generated some tensions between ‘pickle’ enthusiasts and those who favor the long-cherished competition of tennis. In fact, The Tennis Club, a well-known facility in Newport Beach, CA, elected to spend $3 million converting tennis courts to 22 championship pickleball courts. The article<https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=53585beb-0145-3ecc-a316-0…> from Regional Business News<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> notes that some members adamantly opposed the project, suggesting that pickleball is “merely a fad.” Fad or not, new franchises with hundreds of facilities, such as PickleRage in West Bloomfield<https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=44456b2f-4888-30ce-9639-5…>, are opening all over the country. Finally, if you’re looking for the perfect pickleball getaway, MAS Complete<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> shines a light on a weekend Pickleball Camp<https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=fcfee658-78d1-3130-a0db-b…> at South Carolina’s Hilton Head Island. If you have any MeL eResources questions or issues, contact melerhelp(a)mcls.org<mailto:melerhelp@mcls.org> for help. Brought to you by Ann Kaskinen from the MeL Team.

From: Erin Marsh Sent: Wednesday, August 7, 2024 12:08 PM To: 'Isabella Rowan' <i.rowan(a)fowlervillelibrary.org> Subject: RE: [Michlib-l] Library Pet We have a bearded dragon named Dolores. The Youth Services staff is in charge of his care. (Yes, Dolores is male-we found out a year after the community named him.) He does not need to eat every day, so we feed him on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and bathe him once a week for additional hydration. The public loves him, and we feed him where they can watch and we also get him out for people to hold him on request (we accommodate them as often as we have staff to spare.) It works very well for us, and the people in our community adore him. Something we started a year ago was the Dragon Master program. We offer middle school students the chance to volunteer to come one day a week to feed/bathe Dolores. There are a number of middle school teachers here who have bearded dragons in their classrooms, so the students already have some experience when they get to us. It has been a great way to get a steady stream of kids who might not otherwise participate to interact at the library .

By my current count 36 measures passed and 2 unfortunately did not. If you were on the ballot and do not see your library listed, please provide the details of your Millage, (ballot language and vote count yes/no) and I will add it to the list. Thank you Joe Joseph Hamlin Library Data & State Aid/Penal Fines Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo St. P.O.
