Give-aways!

THAT got your attention! This will be a fun one for a select few of you. I know it was for me...just to figure out what some of this stuff was. Before they leave our building in ways librarians have a hard time with, I promised to try and find a home for these very special items. We received them from a college library but are not able to keep them due to space, collection development, what the general public wants, availability of internet access and well...just space. Some would make fantastic display pieces or props (we would keep them but we have a whole collection of Readers Guide to Periodicals we can't seem to let go). I have attached pictures of most of the covers so you can understand more about them than the general description below. Just shoot me an email and tell me what you would like, your RIDES number and a name to attach to them. I just know these will go fast. :) *Budget Message of the Governor (1974-1982)* *Economic Report of the Governor (1975-1982)* *Employment Plan of the Governor (1981-82)* *Executive Budget, State of Michigan (1976-1983)* *Governor's Special Commission on Land Use Report (1971 Appendix B, 1972)* *Michigan Compiled Laws Volumes 1-6, 1979* *Michigan Compiled Laws Volumes 1-6, 1948* *Michigan Compiled Laws Volumes 1-6, 1970* *Annual Report, Michigan Department of the Treasury (1974, 1975, 1975-78, 1978, 1978-82)* See...fun, right?! -- *Betsy Myers* Reference Department Interlibrary Loan/Programming *Traverse Area District Library* 610 Woodmere Ave Traverse City, MI 49686 231 932-8502 *Currently just read: Let Love Rule <https://catalog.tadl.org/main/details?id=48294423> by Lenny Kravitz* *Currently just listened to: Time for Mercy <https://tadl.overdrive.com/media/5428416> by John Grisham*

Returning to In-Person Programming in the Fall?
by Adrianne Schinkai 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Good morning everyone! As things are slowly creeping back to normal, I was wondering what everyone was thinking about in-person programming returning to libraries. Our library is small and I’m debating announcing the return of in-person Book Club for Adults and in-person Yarn Arts Circle starting in September. Before the pandemic, these programs would usually range from 5-10 people, so not many as far as programs go. Is anyone else toying with this idea at the moment? I’d appreciate any shared thoughts. -- Adrianne M.

REAL ID - Please share with public
by Simlar, Cathleen (MDOS) 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Hello, libraries! As you may know, this past spring the federal government extended the deadline for REAL ID to May 3, 2023. When it goes into effect, this federally required standard for identification means anyone who travels by air within the United States will be unable to board a plane without a REAL ID-compliant document. A REAL ID also will be required to enter certain federal facilities. To ensure the public has the correct date and are aware of this deadline, please be sure to update any REAL ID information you have on your website with the correct date and by posting the attached flyer in areas visible to the public. As always, thank you so much for your help! Cathleen P. Simlar Communications Specialist Michigan Department of State Office: (517) 335-3263 Cell: (248) 761-7145 Email: SimlarC(a)Michigan.gov<mailto:SimlarC@Michigan.gov> Join My Professional network on LinkedIn<blocked::http://www.linkedin.com/pub/cathleen-simlar/18/798/235> [cid:image001.png@01D75DDD.4CADE7A0]
