Live Online Classes for Michigan's Older Adults-GetSetUp
by White, Shannon (MDE) 26 May '21

26 May '21

The initiative below is an offering from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to offer Michigan's older adults free, live interactive online classes. These offerings are a great complement to programing you may be offering at your library already to your communities. Attached here are informational flyers to help you learn more about GetSetUp and also promote it to your older adult patrons. The classes focus on supporting the use of digital devices such as computers, smartphone, tablets as well as other services such as Zoom, social media and more. There are more than 150 online classes for older adults and a coupon code of MICHIGANHEALTH listed on the site to use to waive any fees associated with the classes. What can you do? Incorporate this link in your library website to provide additional content/training for your local seniors Do you regularly get questions from your senior community that are best answered by 1-1 tech classes but you are not fully open or you have limited staff to provide 1-1 assistance? Connect your older patrons to GetSetUp classes so they can learn digital literacy skills and more Digital literacy is a great need in the senior community and during the pandemic there are many services available but not all of our residents are comfortable or know how to use them. This initiative is a great way to help raise the skills and knowledge around technology use as well as help create social connections for many that may feel extra isolated at this time.

Neutrality-to-equity conversation today at noon!
by Kristin Fontichiaro 25 May '21

25 May '21

Hello! A gentle reminder that our conversation on shifting from library neutrality to equity will be today at noon. It's not too late to register! See original invite below. =================== Dear Colleagues -- “If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” - Desmond Tutu Join us May 25 at noon on Zoom for a thoughtful peer discussion about shifting from library “neutrality” to equitable library services. The past few weeks have brought a lively discussion about libraries as “neutral” spaces and the role libraries can and should play in equitizing outcomes for all of their patrons. Many of us have been in private conversations about this topic and revealed a hunger for further discussion on this issue. If you have been wrestling with this issue and discovering a nagging voice that is saying, “If we stay neutral, we maintain the status quo, and that means some are left out,” we have been, too. If we are committed, as the ALA Code of Ethics states, to “equitable service policies” and “equitable access,” is that mission accomplished or a call to do more? Does our call to have balanced collections really mean taking no stance on any issue? Don’t libraries have a history of neutrality, or a legacy of changing our practices over time to be more inclusive of genres, people with special needs, the very young, senior citizens, those in need of social services, and others? To what extent does our profession have a political legacy as well (e.g., Connecticut 5 and the PATRIOT Act, ALA maintaining a lobbying arm, Legislative Days, advocacy for literacy initiatives)? Though we have limitations on our activities as outlined by law in our role as government agencies or non-profit organizations, is posting a celebration of BIPOC voices on social media really a verboten act? And regardless of how we interpret the profession’s past stances on neutrality, is it the future we want for libraries? Please note that this will not be a formal presentation, a toolkit, or a series of easy fixes. It’s an initial conversation rooted in the conviction that equity is worth fighting for. Please join us in thinking deeply, finding fellow travelers, and considering next steps. As a wise man once suggested to one of us, it is a chance to “search for the truth with love.” You can register for this free event, see our discussion guidelines, and learn more about how you can read up on neutrality prior to our conversation at https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIkdu6pqDIrGdYZEpVVF5o8yZCtmzi9ytTG . This event will **not** be recorded.
