Meeting Room Booking Software?
by Director 02 Jul '26

02 Jul '26

Hi everyone, We are looking to change providers for our meeting room booking system- we use Calendly right now, but their fee structure and booking software is not working for us anymore. When someone books one of our rooms for a time slot, it removes the availability to book any other rooms available at the same time. We hope to find another provider that is easy to use and relatively low-cost. Let me know of any suggestions and I am happy to share answers if needed. 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

Card Renewals & Out-Of-District Patrons
by Sarah Rick 02 Jul '26

02 Jul '26

Hello Everyone, I was hoping to get some information from either Class IV or Class III libraries. I was wondering how often you have to have library cards renewed and what do you charge for out-of-district patrons. We are currently going over our circulation policy, and this information would be very helpful. Thank you, Sarah Rick Library Director [cid:2dfad41f-2e71-41b2-bd75-b924da7aa9d8]

Sustainability Best Practices
by Lisa Craig 02 Jul '26

02 Jul '26

Hello all, At the Canton Public Library, we are exploring possible sustainability efforts. We have joined the Sustainable Libraries Initiative. However, looking through their website and researching elsewhere has made us fully realize just how many possibilities there are for sustainable action. We are looking to focus our efforts on the most valuable areas. With that in mind, we have these questions. What was the most important/valued sustainability work you have done at your library? Was this work done internally, or did you involve outside companies or organizations? Do you have a rough idea of how long/how much staff time the work took? Have you done anything that didn't work, or that did not have the value you hoped for? I will be happy to compile responses if anyone is interested.
