Hello! FYI- see MIOSHA info below. Please also see info sheet on emergency rules at https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/Revised_MiOSHA_Emergen… Thanks! Clare ________________________________ From: Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration <LEO(a)govsubscriptions.michigan.gov> Sent: Tuesday, June 1, 2021 8:03 AM To: Membiela, Clare (MDE) <MembielaC(a)michigan.gov> Subject: MIOSHA eNews - June 1, 2021 [MIOSHA eNEWS banner] COVID-19 Workplace Safety Update Updated emergency rules put in place Gov. Whitmer announced updates to the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) emergency rules<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. Under an amended set of emergency rules, MIOSHA will remove the requirement that employers create a, “Policy prohibiting in-person work for employees to the extent that their work activities can feasibly be completed remotely.” MIOSHA has also updated other aspects of the emergency rules<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> to reflect recent guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Michigan Dept. of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), which will take effect May 24 and expire on Oct. 14. Changes to the rules include: * Employers may allow fully vaccinated employees to not wear face coverings and social distance provided they have a policy deemed effective to ensure non-vaccinated individuals continue to follow these requirements. * The rules have been reformed focusing on performance, eliminating industry-specific requirements. Definitions have been updated to more clearly reflect changes in close contact and quarantining requirements for fully vaccinated employees. * Cleaning requirements have been updated to reflect changes in CDC recommendations. * Employers should continue to have and implement a written COVID-19 preparedness and response plan in accordance with the updated rules.

Volunteer Policy

Hello, all! Would anyone be willing to share their volunteer policy? I would appreciate any and all parts you're willing to share, though I'm particularly curious about background checks for volunteers and whether this is a standard. This question was brought up at a board meeting. If your library runs background checks on volunteers, is there a company you recommend? Do you use the same company for employees? I so appreciate your help! Thank you!\ Katie Brinker, Director Hopkins District Library 118 E. Main St. Hopkins, MI 49328

Following up on my below email re: MICRC public hearings and public comment participation. Let me know if you're willing to help us spread the word with Libraries in Michigan's members and community and I'm happy to provide additional resources such as draft newsletter or social media language. Just want to reiterate how exciting this opportunity is and how grateful our office is for your assistance. For the first time ever, Michigan residents have a say in what our state's electoral district lines look like and can help ensure a fair and transparent redistricting process. Our office encourages residents from all areas of the state to provide input to the Commission - including MI residents from areas not in direct proximity to the hearing locations (all hearing dates and locations are listed in my below email). Each hearing features in-person and remote (via Zoom or by phone) participation and public comment opportunities. We aim to make it as easy as possible for all Michiganders to participate and make their voice heard. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you on this!

I am writing to ask for your help in engaging your members and community in Michigan's redistricting process. Michigan's first-ever Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission<http://www.michigan.gov/micrc> (MICRC) is hosting a series of public hearings<https://www.michigan.gov/micrc/0,10083,7-418-92033-547695--,00.html> across the state in May and June to solicit input from the public about their communities, representation and electoral district lines (see below for a full list of public hearings). Libraries in Michigan can engage in this historic process in two key ways: * Encourage your members and community to attend a Commission hearing<https://www.michigan.gov/micrc/0,10083,7-418-92033-547695--,00.html>. I've included all dates and locations at the end of this email. Each public hearing will feature in-person and remote viewing and public comment participation options (via Zoom or phone). * Use the Commission's Public Comment Portal<https://www.michigan-mapping.org/> to submit a suggested map or community of interest, provide written testimony, or comment on other map submissions. This is an extraordinary moment for all Michiganders to get involved and ensure the fair representation. It is critical that Libraries in Michigan members and community, and all Michiganders, participate in this this transparent, citizen-led process. Please let me know if this might be of interest and I'm happy to provide additional resources, including newsletter language, a draft email invitation for your members and community or images to share on your social media. Additionally, if you would like to request a speaker from our office or the Commission at an upcoming event to share about this historic opportunity, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to hearing from you.

CSLP Newsletter: May 2021
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 28 May '21

28 May '21

Hello, See the newsletter below for some great news: The 2021 Supplemental Manual<https://www.cslpreads.org/2021-online-manual/> has been completed, and added to the Online Manual. Worksheets, reproducibles, and grab-and-go activities for your patrons! I also just heard from CSLP's Organizational Coordinator, Luke Kralik, that www.cslpreads.org<http://www.cslpreads.org> is undergoing emergency maintenance, on & off, due to the old software running the site is no longer being supported. Ideally, they would have waited to run updates come August, but the site began crashing. With these changes came the new set-up: Right now if you have a "Manual Access Code" you have everything you need to access all of the manual files. You do not need to login unless you're planning to shop. Any current interruptions in service on both the shop side, or the manual side, are temporary.

Feeding During a Pandemic and Construction By Janet Reynolds, Library District #2 of Linn County, La Cygne, KS Our library in La Cygne, Kansas, has been doing summer lunches for kids for five years<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> and lunches for seniors for two years. We operate as a self-funded program, with funding coming from concerned community members and a few small grants. Then along came 2020. We closed for a week, but there was a need for food. Schools had closed and we are a food desert with no grocery store closer than 20 miles. Our volunteer leader and her volunteers, along with the library director, geared up to serve lunches out the front door. No one understood what COVID-19 was and there was a great amount of fear. Complicating things further, we were also constructing an addition to double the size of our facility. [https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/41cb0c8f-18b2-96…] By Memorial Day, we offered lunch pick-up and delivery. For summer reading, we loaded up food in the van weekly and went to the local park for a picnic and a guest entertainer. Some great entertainers came from miles away, just to be able to perform. We had the boxed lunches, brought hand sanitizer, and social distanced the performer, but we were outside and in the fresh air and sunshine for 11 weeks. The parents and community were thankful for something "normal" for their children. By mid-August, the library had served over 11,000 meals. In October, we moved into our new addition, with a meeting room to seat 120 and a kitchen and kitchen storage four times bigger than our little prep kitchen that served us so well during the early years of summer lunches. As winter rolled around, we started serving senior meals once a week inside, along with the choice of a back-door pickup. This summer we will provide meals to children in our community five days a week, our two lake communities two days a week, and to another small rural community two days a week, along with programs daily, including a cross-generational meal on Thursdays with our seniors joining our kids for lunch, mentoring and BINGO. [https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/72fdb491-6991-69…] Food, friends and fun will be the goal. It will be interesting to see how we coordinate all the meals served inside and outside from our new facility.

June 12 is the anniversary of her birthday. The diary is listed as one of the 100 documents that changed the world ranking among the Constitution of the United States and the Magna Carta. The diary has been translated and transcribed into different languages, braille, and other orthographic representations. The diary inspired a Tony Award winning play and an Oscar winning movie. What makes the Diary of Anne Frank so important? [https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/_compresseds/d23f32ee-c…] Diaries humanize the writer's circumstances. As primary sources, diaries are first hand accounts of the writer's situation. They offer an individual's perspective that is far more conceivable and relatable than statistical data. Diaries activate more of the brain. Reading and writing diaries improves the processing that the human brain does because more parts of the brain are activated. Upon seeing a data set of statistics, parts of the brain that are activated include the Brocca's area and the Wernike's area. These parts of the brain govern language processing. Reading and writing a diary activates up to six other areas of the brain, thus improving memory, judgement, reasoning, evaluation, and other higher brain activities. When reading and listening to personal accounts the brain naturally tries to make a connection between the teller and the listener. The exact same neural pathways light up as when experiencing an event as when listening to stories resulting in an empathy that is not achieved with data. Diaries allow one to learn from the past. So not only do diaries improve memory of the past, but they can help direct the future. Reading your own diary helps you to rethink responses that you did before. Should similar circumstances occur, you will most likely make a wiser decision. Writing diaries benefits, too: * Preserves memories and improves memory. * Helps set goals. * Helps a person visualize the goals or achievements. * Charts achievements. * Improves your writing. * Relieves stress. * Inspires creativity. * Replaces other habits. * Increases technical knowledge. * Connects with others. Programming Using diaries can be simple. The libraries around the country have access to so many diaries that you don't have to use just Anne's. What I have seen among teens especially is that they want to talk about what they have read without being quizzed or tested. In the hangout time that your library might have, one can provide an activity box that they can center their conversations about. This is self initiated and limited adult intervention. Foster an extemporaneous book discussion. Here are some activities you can do at your library- Write a Diary entry Like Anne you can write an entry into your own journal or diary. You can use paper and pen, blogging, or video. Write about anything that comes into your head. Tell a memory. Record the happenings around the country and how you feel about them. Write a letter to a friend asking what do they need to know about the things that are happening around you and what are your own thoughts about them? Read a diary. What statements really stand out to you? What makes them important to you? Respond to the writer as if the diary entry were written to you. How do you feel about the statements? Discuss with your group your ideas about the diary. Visit the Anne Frank House Virtually https://www.annefrank.org/en/anne-frank/secret-annex/attic/#trap-naar-vlier…<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.annef…> . Discuss with your group how you would have hidden from the Nazis. What are the things you would take with you if you were to go into hiding? Who would you want to be with? Write a book-talk Have teens read the diary. The challenge is to get other teens to read the book. What would they say? Could a person read one of the entries out loud?
