door/people counters
by Laura Hauch - Buchanan District Library 18 Feb '21

18 Feb '21

Hello all, I am asking again if anyone has information to share about people counters. I had more requests for sharing info than actual info shared. I'm aware of the zoom presentation by SenSource coming up next week. Does anyone use anyone/anything else? We're interested along the whole spectrum. We used to have an infrared interrupt the beam sort of counter until it stopped working, and currently we use a manual clicker where staff click for each person coming in the doors. If your library counts patron visits, how do you do it? If you have a machine/service, what type/brand do you use and how much did/does it cost? I will share results with the listserv. Thanks for your time! Laura Hauch Collection and IT Coordinator Buchanan District Library 128 East Front Street Buchanan, MI 49107 269-695-3681 269-695-0004 Fax www.buchananlibrary.org<http://www.buchananlibrary.org> From: Michlib-l <michlib-l-bounces(a)mcls.org> On Behalf Of Laura Hauch - Buchanan District Library via Michlib-l Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2021 11:48 AM To: michlib-l (michlib-l(a)mcls.org) <michlib-l(a)mcls.org> Subject: [Michlib-l] door counters I know this has been discussed before, but it's been a while. We're looking to add/upgrade our door counters. If your library uses door counters to count patron visits, what type/brand do you use and what's the cost? If there's interest, I can compile and share information. Thank you!

unofficial interest group for Native and Indigenous library workers, library workers serving Tribes
by Anne Heidemann 18 Feb '21

18 Feb '21

Aanii, Over the years there has been an unofficial interest group in the state for Native library workers and those serving in Tribal libraries. It has not been particularly active in the last few years. Several of those involved are hoping to revitalize this group and there are a couple of projects on the horizon that might be of interest to this group, so we are hoping to make it more widely known so that anyone who wants to be involved has that opportunity. If you are interested, please get in touch with me off-list and we will make sure you are included! I am also happy to answer any questions.

Presenter Recommendation
by Katie Rothley 17 Feb '21

17 Feb '21

Dear Michlib-L, If you have never hosted Valerie Marvin, Capitol Historian from the Michigan State Capitol, I highly recommend her. We have hosted her twice through Zoom at LTPL, on the "Women in the Capitol" and just this evening on the Capitol Architect, E. E. Meyers. Her presentations are full of detail, passion, and humor. She's incredibly friendly and engaging, and best of all, was free! She asks how long you'd like her to present, encourages questions, and I'm hoping to host her again in the future. She can be reached at: VMarvin(a)legislature.mi.gov Sincerely, Katie Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Outreach Librarian Lyon Township Public Library 27005 S. Milford Rd., South Lyon, MI 48178 https://www.lyon.lib.mi.us/ (248) 437-8800 ext. 618

Cohort opportunity: Transforming Teen Services
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 17 Feb '21

17 Feb '21

Transforming Teen Services is a nationwide initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association. Transforming Teen Services aims to support and elevate teen services in libraries and other learning environments by integrating connected learning, computational thinking, and youth development to help build responsive services for and with teens. Library staff are uniquely positioned to positively impact teens as they grow into adults. By listening to teens and by creating opportunities aligned to their developmental needs and interests, we can create transformative, truly teen-centered library services. By offering connected learning and computational thinking opportunities to our teens, we can help them build skills that will prepare them for their futures. To better help our teens, this cohort will be exploring the how's and why's of teen services, reflecting back on our own youth, and discussing tips on creating more impactful teen programming. The cohort will meet Mondays from 1:00-3:30 PM ET, weekly for the following four weeks: Apr 19, 2021 Apr 26, 2021 May 3, 2021 May 10, 2021 Full participation, with video and microphone, some independent reading, and attendance is required. If you can commit to these requirements and dates, please register<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.…> asap, as space is very limited. (You must be a current member of staff at a public library in Michigan to register.) This cohort will be lead by Lindsay Gojcaj, Information Services Librarian at Novi Public Library, Amanda Heidema, Teen Services Librarian at Herrick District Library, and Cathy Lancaster, Youth Services Coordinator at the Library of Michigan. This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
