Employee Disciplinary Policy
by Katherine Francis 02 Jun '21

02 Jun '21

Hello, I'm looking to develop an employee disciplinary policy for our library. We are a small class 2 library and have never really had the need for one but I would like to have something in place and in writing just in case. I would really appreciate any examples of policies other libraries have. Katherine Francis Utica Public Library 586-731-4141

Hello, We are selling some used black steel, double faced periodical shelving. We have five 36" W units. They are 78" H and 32" deep (35.5" deep with end panels) and have five cantilever shelves each. They are completely disassembled and take up a space that's about 80" H x 47" W x 52" D. You can see images of the units here <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1v7lO6u4uKovZ9927U1nLOr3zs2R1kvyQ>, with some details included that we hope helps when it comes time to reassemble them. It's pretty nice shelving and has served us well. We are selling everything together, especially since the shelves are disassembled, and are asking $175 per unit, for a total of $875. This price includes end panels, canopy tops and fasteners. We ask that the buyer pick up the shelving; we are not able to send or deliver it.

Teen Video Challenge starts today!
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 01 Jun '21

01 Jun '21

The Teen Video Challenge, sponsored by the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), is an annual national video contest open to all teens (librarian and teacher support is encouraged). The challenge is for teens to create a public service announcement-type video that shows their unique interpretation of the 2021 CSLP slogan "Tails and Tales." Videos are to be no longer than 60 seconds and should promote libraries and reading. https://www.cslpreads.org/programs/teen-program/2021-teen-video-challenge/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> Videos will be accepted June 1 through August 6, 2021. * The contest is open to teens 13-18 (though it's fine for people older or younger to appear in the videos). * The process is simple; teens just need to upload their video to the social media outlet of their choice, submit a link to their video, and complete a simple online form. * Videos will be limited to 60 seconds, making this a doable project for individuals or small teams. * Teens/teen teams may submit more than one video. * The program will accept submissions June 1-Aug 6, 2021, so that it can be incorporated into your summer program (it's still a great opportunity to partner with schools with video production classes or clubs; students can produce the videos as a class project and submit them in June!) * Permission and model release forms will only be required from the winning entries (completing the forms is a requirement to receive prizes and acknowledgement). * There will be 5 national winners, who will each receive a cash prize of $200. The TVC Ad-Hoc Committee will convene a judging panel from CSLP partners and members in August.
