Storybook Trail Book Selection Policy?
by Keegan M Sulecki 12 Apr '25

12 Apr '25

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone had created a book selection policy for selecting books to use in their Storybook Trail? We've had a couple of issues crop up, including self-published authors being very insistent about our using their books for our trail and, unfortunately, a couple of complaints regarding our choices, which means professional reviews are very important to have on hand for any installation. We are exploring creating an official policy regarding the selection of books for the Trail or adding on some verbiage to our existing policies to address it. I would really appreciate hearing from other libraries about how their Storybook Trail has been addressed in any policies. Thanks in advance for sharing! Best, Keegan [TPL Signature Image] Keegan Sulecki Head of Youth Services Troy Public Library 248.524.3543 troypl.org<https://troypl.org/>

Cyber Insurance
by Director 11 Apr '25

11 Apr '25

Good afternoon, I apologize if this has been asked before, but could not find any information on it. My Library is planning to begin using a Square device for credit/debit card payments at the library and it was suggested that we add cyber insurance before using the Square. Does your library have cyber insurance? How much do you get charged on average for cyber insurance annually? Is it worth adding if the Library has a relatively small budget? Also, does your library use Square currently or a different method for credit/debit card payments? Any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kelsey Rutkowski *--------------------------------------* *Library Director* *Indian River Area Library* 3546 S Straits Hwy PO Box 160 Indian River, MI 49749 (231) 238-8581 indianriverlibrary.org
