We have recently had a few questions about posting to the Michlib-l list. To remedy or learn more about how to correct the issue of your email address and the listserv you can review the information below. 1. You may be subscribed to the list using an older email you no longer use to send messages. If this is the case your messages to the list do not make it through because your address shows as a non-member email. In some cases you may use an email interchangeably for your work and it looks seamless to you, but if the email is not the one subscribed to the list it is not seamless to the listserv software. 2. If you are unsure of your status on Michlib-L you can check by going to the site here https://lists.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l 3.

Does your library have programs focused on digital literacy or other supports for the refugee community? I'm looking to connect a new state employee at the Office of Global Michigan, part of the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, with public libraries that have programs specifically for the refugee community. If you offer such programs or have specific experience frequently working directly with the refugee community in areas of literacy, especially digital literacy, I would love to be able to pass along your contact information. Thank you, sdw Shannon White Library Development Manager Library of Michigan, 702 W.

by Kat Boyer 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

Hello everyone, We are finally installing a time clock at my library and I need to work up a policy that goes along with it. Do any of you have a policy about time clocks/punching in & out that you'd be willing to share. Right now we are super old fashioned and just write everything down on paper time sheets.
