Greetings, Hope all is well with you and thank you again to you and Libraries in Michigan for your support in raising awareness about the need for public participation in Michigan's Redistricting Commission hearings!

Hudson is mourning
by Joann Simmons 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

It is with great sadness we announce the news that our former director, Kathy Hepker, has passed away. Kathy was director here for 35 years, from 1977-2012. She was very supportive of all things Rural Library and served on some of the committees back in the formation of our conferences. It was very important to attend advisory council, Mahoney workshops and Rural Library Conferences to glean all the information we can to build better libraries. She had tales to tell of Roger and Bryon...and how everything always worked out. She is the reason our library is looked to in our community for reference, resource and all things information. She was on Chamber, Kiwanis, Women's Club, Friday Club, Red Hat Society, Hudson Museum Board, Hudson School Board and the Hudson Foundation. Kathy never married but loved her nieces, nephews and the children of our community immensely. She will be missed. Joann Simmons Director Hudson Carnegie District Library (zv170) 205 S.

TLN's Recordings of ASC's May Makerspace Workshop
by Katie Rothley 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

Hello Michlib-L, There was a lot of interest in the free makerspace workshop that I had shared with Michlib over a month ago, and questions about recordings: Recordings of our TLN ASC Spring Workshop are now available. I forgot to start recording before our first presenter, Jeff, started speaking and then forgot to stop recording between panels 1 and 2 so it starts abruptly in Part 1, panels 1 (Big library makerspaces) & 2 (small library makerspacse to no space) are in the same recording without a break, and the third panel (independent makerspaces) is Part 2. Feel welcome to view them here: https://vimeo.com/555771915/546f7e3b0c and here: https://vimeo.com/555775052/5de30a3fb1 They won't be up forever! Thanks to the Library Network for hosting the workshop and the recordings. Sincerely, Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Outreach Librarian Lyon Township Public Library 27005 S. Milford Rd.
