Re: [Michlib-l] Michlib-l Digest, Vol 79, Issue 20

According to https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-states/state/mich… which they claim was updated yesterday (May 21), 46% of the state, or 4,687,194 people, have received one dose. If you scroll down, there is a breakdown by age, and it only goes down to age 16, so my guess is that the 46% only includes people 16 and up. To double-check, I used 9,986,857 from the U.S. Census estimate of Michigan's 2019 population of adults 18+, and divided the total number of people 16+ who have been vaccinated and came up with 46.9%. (Please note that I used my math skills to do this - double-checking is highly advised.) >From this, it looks like the 46% who have been vaccinated does NOT include children under 16. [https://static.usafacts.org/public/images/issues-experiences/coronavirus/va…]<https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-states/state/mich…> What Percentage of Michigan is Vaccinated? | %stateName Vaccine Tracker | USAFacts<https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-states/state/mich…> What is the progress on vaccinations in Michigan? Michigan has received 10,065,270 doses so far, administering 76% or 7,688,179 of the doses. In Michigan, 4,438,313 people or 44% of the population have received at least one dose. Overall, 3,335,520 people or 33% of Michigan 's population have been fully vaccinated. usafacts.org Hope this helps.

Great news from the Upper Peninsula!

*Queen City Seed Library opens for 2021 season* https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2021/05/21/queen-city-seed-library-ope… MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - The Queen City Seed Library has now reopened to the public for the 2021 season. Located on the main floor of the Peter White Public Library, this volunteer-run community organization has been providing seeds to anyone who would like to start a garden — and learn to harvest and save seeds — since 2016. During pandemic-related closures, Queen City Seed Library remained active with online seed swaps and no-contact pickup options. Thanks to volunteers, the Seed Library cabinet is stocked for this gardening season. Stored in a beautiful antique card catalogue, a wide variety of annual vegetable seeds are available to “borrow” — the same way library books are “borrowed.” At the end of the growing season, those who have used the seed library are asked to harvest seeds from the plants they grew, and just like returning a library book, “return” seeds to the seed library to replace the “borrowed” seeds. Seed saving workshops, online help, and an annual Seed Swap are offered each year to support seed sharing and seed saving. The Queen City Seed Library organizers are guided by the words of seed activist Sara McCamant, who has said “To make a stronger local food system, we need to continually work at bringing more local seed into that food system.” A seed library does just that. The Queen City Seed Library is open whenever the Peter White Library is open. For more information, please email queencityseedlibrary(a)gmail.com.

Library Laptop Rules / Set up
by Justine Peterson 21 May '21

21 May '21

Hello all, and happy Friday! Seville Township Library has decided to get a laptop for in-library use only. I'm thinking it'll be able to get checked out for 1-2 hours at a time. Additionally, it seems smart to have a no food/drinks rule when using the laptop. But I'm not sure which programs to use that might keep people from looking at inappropriate content. Does anyone have any advice on rules/programs they use for circulating laptops? Have a good weekend, *Justine Peterson* Library Director Seville Twp Library Riverdale, MI 48877 P: 989.833.7776 seville.michlibrary.org

Good news from Harrison Township Public Library!

Smooth rides start at the library Solar-powered bicycle maintenance station installed By: Kristyne E. Demske | Mount Clemens - Clinton - Harrison Journal | Published May 20, 2021 https://www.candgnews.com/news/smooth-rides-start-at-the-library-120661 HARRISON TOWNSHIP — A local company and library are teaming up to help local bicyclists keep their equipment running smoothly. The Harrison Township Public Library, 38255 L’Anse Creuse St., is now home to the first solar-powered bicycle maintenance station in the state, thanks to ESPAS Inc., of Clinton Township. The station, which features solar lighting, a solar-powered air pump, hanger arms for easy repair, various tools and a USB-charger for phones, was installed at no cost to the library May 14. Library Director Melissa Goins said she was inspired by a trip to New Orleans to seek out a bicycle repair station for the library. “We had stopped at a public library in New Orleans, and they had a bicycle repair station, and I just thought that was a great idea to have that available for the public,” she said. She began to shop around for different options, and she was happy when ESPAS Inc. selected the library to debut its new Solar Cycle Server, a state-of-the-art bicycle repair station. Phil Pertner, president of ESPAS Inc., 44850 Centre Court East in Clinton Township, said he has been trying to diversify his automotive prototype company. “We’ve seen the bike stations around, but they have hand pumps,” he said. “We wanted to give it a little more pizazz. With all the solar energy savings, we decided that we wanted to design a solar-powered bike station.” A 12-volt battery powered by the sun runs everything on the station, including an onboard air compressor, which Pertner said makes ESPAS’ station unique. The station, which is “granny smith green,” has a motion sensor that triggers its light to turn on if someone approaches it at night. The station was completed in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic put their hopes of installation on hold. Instead, ESPAS was able to test the station more fully before its installation. “Eventually, in the future, we want to reach out to some of the parks and bike paths in Michigan. It’s environmentally friendly, and it’s a good thing,” Pertner said. “If you’re in trouble and you need to tighten something or your tire’s going low, you can pump it up.” Having the station in Harrison Township will allow the company to better see how it fares in a real-world environment. “We can see how it reacts. We’re going to give it more time in the environment. So far, it’s worked out really good,” Pertner said. ESPAS worked with other local companies for the decals, paint and other portions of the station. “It’s nice to see your product locally,” he said. “We’re excited about it.” Located just a half-mile from the Freedom Trail bike path entrance at 16 Mile Road and Crocker Boulevard and in close proximity to several local schools, Goins thought the library would be the perfect location for a repair station. “We like to add value to the community, so this is just another way that the library can,” Goins said. “I’m just so excited that they chose us to debut it.” Since this is the first station for ESPAS, the company is hoping to hear what residents think of the new feature. It is available for use by anyone outside the main entrance to the library. “We’re pretty centrally located,” Goins said. “They’re hoping we might be able to obtain feedback and share that with them. It’s a partnership.” Noah Lenstra Assistant Professor of Library and Information Science University of North Carolina Greensboro njlenstr(a)uncg.edu noahlenstra.com @NoahLenstra Author, Healthy Living at the Library <https://www.abc-clio.com/ABC-CLIOCorporate/product.aspx?pc=A5725P> Director of Let's Move in Libraries <http://letsmovelibraries.org/>
