Reel-To-Reel Player?
by Eric Hansen 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

Hello All, I recently received a donation of audio on reel-to-reel. This material is from an annual variety show fundraiser hosted by the local Rotary Club, which has always been extremely active in serving the community. I wonder if any of you have a functional Reel-to-Reel player and we could work out a purchase or trade. Thanks for your time, and best.

MCLS offers Foundations of Digital Literacy virtual workshop
by Pam Seabolt 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Registration is open for virtual training offered by MCLS for library staff on foundational digital literacy topics. This two-day virtual workshop will be offered twice in March. Class sizes are kept small to allow for personal attention and interactive activities. The Foundations of Digital Literacy workshop is designed to help library staff gain confidence in everyday interactions with technology and is intended for participants who would like a basic introduction to digital literacy topics. Knowledge and skills taught and practiced during the workshop will include a basic understanding of hardware including internal and external components of various devices, how various types of networks function, the composition of webpages and websites, various browsers and their functionality, search engines and tips to perform an effective web search, how to evaluate search results, and information on digital privacy and cybersecurity. As this workshop will be presented virtually through Zoom, participants will need to have a basic knowledge of how to log in and participate in a Zoom meeting. This is intended to be an interactive course that involves discussion and hands-on practice. To successfully complete the workshop participants must have a microphone enabled, and if possible, a camera. The workshops are two days from 10am – 12:30pm Eastern (9am – 11:30am Central), and will be offered on March 18-19 and March 30-31.

Join Us this Thursday (2-11-21) @ 7pm.
by David Conklin 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

For 19 years, the Genesee District Library has hosted an annual Black History Month Brunch. In the past it has been a morning of inspiring speeches, lively conversation, good food and great entertainment. More importantly, it has been an opportunity for Genesee District Library to recognize local people and organizations who are doing important work in our community, by honoring them with the Award of Excellence or the Partner in Progress Award. As you may have concluded, due to Covid-19, we are not able to host an in-person Brunch this year. So, instead, we have partnered with ABC12(Flint) to produce a televised 20th Anniversary Black History Month Celebration. In this program we will hear from former honorees and be treated to performances by Linkin' Bridge and Voices of Service. The 20th Anniversary Black History Celebration will be aired on Thursday, February 11 @ 7 p.m. on ABC12. For people who do not have access to ABC12, it will be streamed simultaneously on Facebook and YouTube. However, don't miss the simulcast because due to licensing restrictions, a recording will not be available later. Here are the links: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/45467758516/posts/10158353318573517/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQu3HR_34x8 David Conklin Director Genesee District Library (810) 230-3335 Office (810) 732-1161 Fax dconklin(a)thegdl.org<mailto:dconklin@thegdl.org> Genesee District Library Headquarters 4195 W.

by Perri Saunders 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Are you closing if a staff member tests positive for COVID-19? We have closed in the past, but I haven't heard of other libraries closing recently for this reason. Are we taking a different approach now, or am I just not hearing about it? What is your procedure now? We have a staff member that is getting tested today, so we're trying to plan... Thanks for any advice you have, Perri -- Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N. Kalamazoo St., P.O.
