National Runaway Prevention Month is in November
by Mary Jo Vortkamp 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Hi Team, I wanted to share some resources for you to help support the youth in your community during National Runaway Prevention Month. The National Runaway Safeline has some great resources, including: -Free Educational and Outreach Materials: https://www.1800runaway.org/free-promotional-materials/ -Presentations about the National Runaway Prevention Month for the community, social media posts and more. https://www.1800runaway.org/nrpm/ -Runaway Prevention Curriculum. "a free, evidence-based, interactive, 14 module curriculum intended to educate young people about alternatives to running away as well as to build life skills so that youth can resolve problems without resorting to running away or unsafe behavior." https://www.1800runaway.org/runaway-prevention-curriculum-sign-up/ -They also have prevention specialists that will lead a virtual youth group discussion: https://www.1800runaway.org/providers-educators/kids-call/ Also there is an excellent article on Webjunction: https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/serving-homeless-youth.html This is a great opportunity to network with social service agencies and homeless prevention programs. Also, every school district has a McKinney-Vento Liaison who serves as one of the primary contacts between homeless families and school staff, district personnel, shelter workers, and other service providers. They usually welcome another way of getting information out to families and children. Remember: 1 in 10 young adults (age 18 to 25) and 1 in 30 minors (age 13-17) experienced unaccompanied homelessness in a one-year period. This translates to approximately 3.5 million young adults and 700,000 minors (Morton et al, 2017) Please take care and please excuse any cross-posting! Mary Jo Mary Jo Vortkamp B.A., M.L.I.S.

Register now for the 2020 LEAP Program starting Nov 5
by Shannon White - Library of Michigan 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Last week many of you heard about this program on the Friday library director call. We wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to see the program here and review the details. This is a really unique opportunity to venture into some new models of engagement. No matter your level of knowledge around community engagement or your role in the library you can take part in this program on November 5. Check out the full details below. Libraries Engage Appreciatively for Positive Change (LEAP) 2020 MCLS, as a continuation of our partnership with the Library of Michigan and our shared Michigan Libraries Engage project, encourages Michigan library staff of all levels to attend a special virtual event on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2020. The program, called LEAP (Libraries Engage Appreciatively for Positive Change), will be an opportunity to learn methods and techniques for using Appreciative Inquiry to engage with participants' local communities and initiate positive change to ensure successful community engagement projects. Appreciative Inquiry is an approach to community engagement that focuses on positive aspects of change and drawing out and building on existing strengths. It also highlights the importance of collaborative conversations, dialogue, and stories. Who will be facilitating this program? Maureen McKenna of Return on Energy Consulting<http://returnonenergy.ca/about/>, an internationally respected and highly sought-out expert in the field of Appreciative Inquiry, will be facilitating the LEAP program along with MCLS's Engagement, Consulting, & Training team. Who are these workshops for and what will they cover? The skills and knowledge gained will support library staff members in both developing new community engagement initiatives and strengthening initiatives already in progress. It will help previously-trained Harwood Public Innovators expand their dialogues with new conversation methods, and assist those who have not been trained in Harwood methods to begin conversations. This program is for all levels and roles of library staff. Following the November event, attendees will receive six months of facilitated learning and coaching via Zoom meetings. Requirements for attendance This will be a highly interactive virtual workshop. Attendees MUST have a microphone enabled and turn their cameras on for full participation, and will be expected to attend the full day to gain maximum value of the program. There are no special qualifications or prerequisites needed to attend; we hope many of you from all roles in libraries will consider how this program can impact your life and your work engaging your communities in a variety of ways. When and where? Thursday, Nov 5, 2020, 9:30am - 4:30pm Eastern (8:30am - 3:30pm Central) with a break for lunch and several other scheduled breaks throughout. Online via Zoom meeting. Cost: Because the Library of Michigan wants to support Michigan library staff in growing their skills toward the goal of stronger community engagement, registration is highly subsidized and is just $40 per person, and includes all materials. Registration Registration is now open and first-come, first-served. Register today!<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/special-programs/libraries-engage-apprecia…> Questions?

by Jan Davidson 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Let’s LEAP together… one step at a time! LEAP (Libraries Engage Appreciatively for Positive Change) registration is now open. Please excuse cross-posting and note that this event includes lists that extend beyond Michigan, but the event is for Michigan library staff only. As part of our shared Michigan Libraries Engage project, MCLS and the Library of Michigan invite all Michigan library staff to a special virtual event on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2020, 9:30am – 4:30pm Eastern. We have heard from many Michigan libraries that the priority right now, in the wake of disruptions and closures caused by COVID-19, is to start reengaging with your communities one conversation, one patron at a time; LEAP will focus on teaching you some great techniques to do just that. This workshop day, as well as the six monthly virtual facilitated learning and coaching sessions to follow, will help you feel equipped and inspired to work toward engaging your community in new ways as we continue to navigate our mid-pandemic, and move toward a post-pandemic, world – one small LEAP at a time. The LEAP event will guide you through processes and tools of Appreciative Inquiry to help you focus on your library’s strengths and build upon them in order to reconnect with your patrons and your wider community. The Library of Michigan supports Michigan library staff in growing their skills and reconnecting with their communities. Registration is highly subsidized and is just $40 per person. Registration is now open and first-come, first-served.

MiOSHA Emergency Rules
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

Greetings: Please see the press release below about the MiOSHA Covid-19 workplace standards still being in effect. Note that the information below is not new- the standards are largely the same as they have been the past several months and match the information on the MiOSHA webpage https://www.michigan.gov/leo/0,5863,7-336-100207_101280---,00.html (See the "Retail, Libraries & Museum" rule 9(4), in the rules https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/MIEOG/2020/10/14/file_attachmen… ) The rules were necessary in order for the MiOSHA workplace requirements to remain in effect. They are only formalizing what was in the EOs. Libraries who were in compliance with the EOs should be in compliance with the rules below. If a library has any questions regarding their current pandemic plan or policies they should contact their library attorney, or MiOSHA at 855-SAFEC19 (855-723-3219). Stay Well! Thanks! Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

[cid:image002.png@01D6A251.34DF2BE0] From: Michigan Executive Office of the Governor <mieog(a)govsubscriptions.michigan.gov> Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2020 4:41 PM To: Membiela, Clare (MDE) <MembielaC(a)michigan.gov> Subject: RELEASE: Governor Whitmer takes action to protect workers, keep workplaces safe from COVID-19 [Governor Gretchen Whitmer Banner - headshot with bridge graphic]<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 14, 2020 Contact: Press(a)michigan.gov<mailto:Press@michigan.gov> Governor Whitmer takes action to protect workers, keep workplaces safe from COVID-19 MIOSHA issues emergency rules to clarify requirements for employers to control, prevent, and mitigate the spread of infection LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) within the Michigan Dept. of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) is one of the first state OSHA programs to promulgate rules which clarify the safety requirements employers must follow to protect their employees from COVID-19. Governor Gretchen Whitmer today signed her concurrence of the need for a comprehensive set of Emergency Rules that will help protect Michigan workers, businesses, customers and communities from the spread of COVID-19. "While most Michigan job providers are doing their part to slow the spread of COVID-19, these rules provide them with clarity regarding the necessary requirements to keep their workplaces safe and their employees healthy," said Gov. Whitmer. "I will continue to work around the clock with my partners in labor and business to ensure protections for every Michigan worker." Under the Emergency Rules, businesses that resume in-person work must, among other things, have a written COVID-19 preparedness and response plan and provide thorough training to their employees that covers, at a minimum, workplace infection-control practices, the proper use of personal protection equipment (PPE), steps workers must take to notify the business or operation of any symptoms of COVID-19 or a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, and how to report unsafe working conditions. MIOSHA's Emergency Rules implement workplace safeguards for all Michigan businesses and specific requirements for industries, including manufacturing, construction, retail, health care, exercise facilities, restaurants and bars. The rules establish workplace safety requirements and employers should coordinate these requirements with the Emergency Order<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> issued by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services restricting gathering sizes, requiring face coverings in public spaces and childcare facilities, placing capacity limitations on stores, bars and other public venues and providing safer workplaces. "As we reengage our economy, the Governor's actions reiterate the importance to keep workplaces safe for employees and protect customers from COVID-19 transmission," said COVID-19 Workplace Safety Director Sean Egan. "These rules will formalize the workplace safety guidelines previously in place, and are necessary to save lives. We will continue to educate workers and employers on requirements for businesses to get open and stay open." Since March 2020, employers have reported 30 worker deaths from COVID-19 in Michigan and 127 in-patient hospitalizations potentially linked to workplace exposure. MIOSHA has received over 3,800 complaints from employees alleging uncontrolled COVID-19 hazards in the workplace and 263 referrals from local government, including local health departments, indicating that businesses were not taking all the necessary measures to protect their employees from infection. "Since the beginning of this pandemic, the working folks I've talked to have been most concerned about avoiding catching this awful virus at work and bringing it home and spreading it to their families," said Ron Bieber, president of the Michigan AFL-CIO. "We need to make sure we're doing everything we can to help these people protect themselves and their families, because we can't have a strong economy when people are catching a deadly virus just by showing up to work." "Small businesses owners are dedicated to providing safe workplaces. Consistent, practical, and clear rules are important to achieving that goal," said Brian Calley, president of the Small Business Association of Michigan. "We welcome the initiation of the departmental rule-making process to establish predicable and well defined expectations." A set of online resources at Michigan.gov/COVIDWorkplaceSafety<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> provides businesses with the guidelines they and their employees must follow and includes a sample COVID-19 preparedness and response plan<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> and a reopening checklist<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> to help businesses put safeguards in place. Businesses can also find posters for employees and customers, factsheets and educational videos. To enhance MIOSHA's consultative services, the newly launched MIOSHA Ambassador Program<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> will send safety and health experts to businesses statewide now to offer education and support, with a focus on workplaces with a higher risk of community transmission. To request consultation, education and training services, call 517-284-7720 or online at MIOSHA Request for Consultative Assistance<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>.

by Jobeth Bradbury 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER - TOPEKA & SHAWNEE COUNTY (KS) PUBLIC LIBRARY - Closes this Sunday, October 18, 2020! The Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library, a municipal corporation governed by an appointed Board of Trustees, seeks an accomplished Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who is committed to sparking curiosity and connections through literacy and learning in Topeka and Shawnee County, Kansas. The new leader of the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library, Library Journal/Gale's 2016 Library of the Year, <https://tscpl.org/> will be ready to enhance the Library's role in a world that continues to change. Transforming the lives of its citizens through its five community impact goals<https://tscpl.org/about/community-impact-goals>, the CEO reports to a ten-member governing Board and works collaboratively with The Library Foundation, the Friends of the Library, a stellar staff (213 positions), and community partners to provide essential library services and programs charting a clear course. This award-winning Library, supported by a statutory mill levy which provides an annual $22.3 million budget, has a 21st-century landmark building featuring the Alice C. Sabatini Gallery, the Millennium Café, and the Chandler "Booktique" (bookstore and gift shop). In 2019, more than 2,000 people walked through its doors daily and checked out more than 2.3 million items. The library's mobile services, augmented with a new fleet of vehicles, traveled across the County and provided services to 55 senior living facilities, 80 preschools and many homebound customers. The library also serves customers through a 24/7 digital branch and offers state-of-the-art technology, youth programs that encourage learning and reading, accessibility services addressing the needs of older readers and persons with disabilities, and reference and research tools. There is something for everyone at TSCPL! Topeka<https://www.topeka.org/>, (the state capital and third largest city in Kansas), is in the heart of Shawnee County along the Kansas River and is a thriving seat of government, education, cultural events, and entrepreneurial spirit. In 2017, Kiplinger Finance Magazine designated Topeka one of the top ten cities for the next decade. Neighborhoods, schools, civic and cultural activities, and economic incentives combine to make Topeka one of the best small metros in the United States with an overall cost of living more than 10 percent below the national urban area average. There are 60,000 university students within a 60-mile radius of Topeka, including Topeka's own Washburn University flanked by Kansas University to the east and Kansas State University to the west. The city draws young talent to make up a diverse and highly skilled workforce and add to its vibrancy and appeal. The arts are alive and well in Topeka with more than 20 galleries, performing and visual artist venues and the NOTO Arts District that offers studio space and display opportunities in a collaborative environment. Topeka's Momentum 2022<https://dashboards.mysidewalk.com/momentum2022/home-b7dac3e295ef> plan has instilled a can-do attitude in our community. With more than 30,000 people working in the downtown area daily, there is momentum for new businesses, retail, restaurants, events, and community pride! See TSCPL Links<http://www.bradburymiller.com/topekalinks.htm> for more information about the community, the Library, and the position. Responsibilities. The Chief Executive Officer formulates and oversees implementation of library goals, policy recommendations, procedures, programs, and projects in accordance with policies established by the Library Board of Trustees and mandated by the laws of the state of Kansas. Providing vision, direction, and leadership, the CEO is responsible for, but not limited to, the delivery of library services with an emphasis on equity, diversity, and inclusion; oversight of human resources focusing on mentoring and coaching a committed staff; development and presentation of the annual budget; coordination of collaborative, strong relationships with the Library Board, the Library Foundation, and the Friends of the Library; and a continued knowledge and interest of current trends in leading for the future of the Library. For full responsibilities and functions, visit TSCPL CEO Position Description<https://www.bradburymiller.com/tscpljobdesc.pdf>. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include a Master's degree in library or information science from an ALA-accredited program and five years of progressively responsible administrative and managerial experience in public libraries. Essential attributes include personal integrity, demonstrated skill and experience with fiscal oversight and budgeting, excellent interpersonal and consensus-building skills, a focus on creating a culture of trust and collaboration with internal and external stakeholders and demonstrated ability to provide leadership throughout the Library promoting the values set forth in the Library's mission. In addition, the CEO should possess demonstrable communication skills that span the library, its staff and stakeholders and the community at large. The CEO, through care, compassion, and energy will galvanize organizational efforts to position the Library at the forefront of library service. A sense of curiosity, creativity, and innovation; a thorough knowledge of current trends, technologies and "best practices" for libraries; and prior successful experience reporting to a governing Board are desirable attributes and qualifications for the next TSCPL CEO. Compensation. The hiring salary range is $130,000 - $150,000, (with placement negotiable dependent on experience and qualifications), and an excellent fringe benefits package. By contract, the CEO will be required to reside in Shawnee County. For further information, contact Bradbury Miller Associates<http://www.bradburymiller.com/>.
