Re: [Michlib-l] Looking for a book
by melissa＠uproc.lib.mi.us 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '21

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped me find this book. It looks like the correct answer was Tunnel to Yesterday by Jerome Beatty! Lots of people guessed that one! Thank you Collective Brain! Original message: I am trying to find the name of a book for a customer. It was a kids book that he read in the late 1980s that had kids that were able to time travel back to see the Mayflower land at Plymouth Rock. There was some sort of adult mentor or guide in it that was really into macarons. The kids were able to travel back and forth in time by saying "ptchwyx" - that really stuck with him. He isn't sure if it was part of a series, or how old it was when he read it. Does any of that ring a bell with someone? Thanks for your help!

Attention Library colleagues from northern counties of Michigan's lower peninsula: This Thursday, Jan. 21 at 10am, MLA is hosting a coffee hour with guests from the Northern Michigan Opioid Response Consortium (NMORC). The NMORC mission is to engage Northern Michigan in a coordinated response to reduce opioid use disorders. One of their goals is providing Naloxboxes to community organizations so that naloxone is available in areas where overdoses may occur. Public libraries are a priority for this placement. Join us this Thursday, Jan. 21 at 10am to learn more about the initiative. Special guests from NMORC will discuss and share reasons for having Naloxboxes and a draft policy for implementing them in your library. The NMORC is a 35-member Consortium addressing the opioid epidemic in an 18-county region including Alcona, Alpena, Arenac, Cheboygan, Clare, Crawford, Gladwin, Iosco, Kalkaska, Lake, Missaukee, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle, Roscommon, and Wexford counties of rural northern Michigan. Library professionals from these areas and anyone else interested in learning more are welcome and encouraged to join the conversation. The coffee hour is free to attend!

Final farewell
by Doug Koschik 17 Jan '21

17 Jan '21

Hello everyone in the Michigan library world, I've completed my last day as Director of the Baldwin Public Library and begun my second career--as a retiree. I expect this second career to be every bit as rewarding as my first one in librarianship. In my 11 years as Baldwin's Director, I've managed--with the aid of many talented and hard-working Library employees and Library Board members--to reverse a serious budget deficit, re-establish good relations with the City of Birmingham, add another contract community (the City of Bloomfield Hills) to Baldwin's service area, make significant improvements to the physical building, continue and expand on Baldwin's tradition of strong collections and outstanding programming, create a unique relationship with the Michigan Architectural Foundation which has added to our collections and programming, and see through the establishment of one of the best library makerspaces in the country. Yesterday, the Library Board and the incoming Library Administration surprised me taking two steps in commemoration of my retirement: 1. Establishing a Library endowment fund in my name, and 2. Renaming the local history room as the Legacy Room, to memorialize all of the Directors of the Baldwin Public Library--past, present, and future. I am deeply honored and touched by these actions. Many people sent me lovely letters and emails in August, after I announced my upcoming retirement. I'm certainly not trying to encourage people to repeat what they've already said to me, but in case anyone would like to contact me in the future, my home email address is: koschik(a)comcast.net. Baldwin will remain in excellent hands under the leadership of Director Rebekah Craft and Associate Director Jaclyn Miller. I would like to thank Rebekah for all of the help and support she has given me as Associate Director over the past 5 1/2 years. Finally, attached is a recent photo showing the Baldwin Library at dusk, taken at the direction of Luckenbach Ziegelman Gardner Architects by photographer Laszlo Regos. The recently expanded Youth Room is the portion that is brightly lit. The photo really does the Library justice as the jewel of the community. All the best!
