She has published five books associated with the history of Native Americans. Brunner is an enrolled member of the Sault Ste. Marie [Michigan] Tribe of Chippewa Indians. The impact of Indian boarding schools has been devastating for generations of Native Americans, and the aftershocks continue to affect their descendants today. Michigan was home to three: in Baraga, Harbor Springs and Mt. Pleasant. The last to close was Holy Childhood School of Jesus, in Harbor Springs. The aim of /Michigan Indian Boarding School Survivors Speak Out/ <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…>was to both study and preserve the memories of survivors before, during, and after their school experience. /*When: */Thursday, May 8th, 2025 at 7 pm Eastern / 6 pm Central /*Where: */on the Zoom platform -- please contact Evelyn Gathu in advance at egathu(a)crystalfallslibrary.org <mailto:egathu@crystalfallslibrary.org?subject=UPNotableBooks&body=Please-send-me-the-zoom-link>, or by phone at (906) 875-3344.

Cover of the book - Michigan Indian Board School Survivors Speak Outhttps://www.amazon.com/Michigan-Indian-Boarding-School-Survivors/dp/1615… <https://www.amazon.com/Michigan-Indian-Boarding-School-Survivors/dp/1615998…> "Sharon Marie Brunner combines her family and tribal experiences with historical research to provide a unique and strong foundation for this narrative history. Originally a dissertation, which she wrote to complete the requirements for her Masters Degree in Social Work, Brunner soon realized that her study deserved a wider audience. I'm grateful that her publisher, Modern History Press, agreed. Now in book form, this landmark study is available to the general public as well as to scholars, historians, tribal members, and anyone interested in Native American history. Based on interviews with Northern Michigan Native people who had lived in an Indian Boarding School or whose parent(s) had lived in a Boarding School,/Michigan Indian Boarding School Survivors Speak Out/ includes the interviews Brunner conducted as well as her meticulous analysis of the resulting data, which enabled her to delineate the social, personal, and spiritual effects of this government enforced separation of children from their families, and of the lasting negative impact that resulted from the denigration of the children's Native heritage and cultural mores. I highly recommend this book." -- *Sue Harrison*, international bestselling author of /The Storyteller Trilogy/. More information about the U.P. Notable Book list, /U.P.

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
