***A Library in Need!!!!!
by Andrus, Miriam 20 Jan '21

20 Jan '21

Hello Library Friends - In May of 2020, the Midland, MI community sustained substantial flood damage after two dams failed. Bridges were washed away, homes were ruined, but the Midland community came together to help one another (amid a pandemic no less!) The Grace A. Dow Memorial Library was no exception. We sustained substantial flooding to our lower level when water poured into the basement through our windows. We are now working our way through a 2 million dollar renovation project to restore our library and mechanical systems. However, this e-mail is not about my Library. This e-mail is about Windover High School's Library. Windover is a specialized high school that accommodates Teens who often experience homelessness, abuse, and neglect. The School has a food pantry, shower for students, and a basic needs pantry (clothes, chap stick, deodorant, etc.). They even have a laundry so students can wash their clothes at school if needed. In May, 90% of their library was washed away. Water was almost 4 feet high in their building and their books were housed on short picture book shelves. It wasn't until right before Christmas that they reached out to me to see if our library could help them. They have received many book donations but many are too old, (think 1970's encyclopedias), or not geared toward teens. They need materials and don't have money to purchase much as they too are dealing with a large and expensive renovation project. If anyone reading this e-mail has extra Teen books we would greatly appreciate them in Midland! I know librarians are big readers and some of you may have books sitting around your homes you are willing to donate. Maybe some of your libraries are weeding your Teen collection and somewhere to send your books. We would love any teen materials we can get. If you have donations you can mail them to 1710 West St. Andrews Midland, MI 48640, send them through rides ZV225, or if you are in our area you can drop them off in our exterior book drop. Even if you only have one book, it will help. If you want to see how the flood affected our Library you can watch our video here https://fb.watch/386fSYHBvq/ Thank you for any/all of your help!! -Miriam [cid:image011.jpg@01D6EF23.14D5D460] Miriam Andrus Director, Grace A.

Dear Michlib- We have withdrawn the following titles in good condition from our Book Club collection and are offering them to any Michigan library that could use them. All are in "gently used" to "like new" condition. I've not stamped or marked them above and beyond our normal library processing to make it easier for other libraries to add their own processing. I've indicated the number of copies/formats for each title. If you would like any of these sets please reply to me with the title(s) you want and your RIDES ID number and I will send them to you. I will not split the sets. I've pasted the titles below for convenience but will update this Google doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vlk4-sDgpeaVnzozUo6Fv04kpISP1pT1lkvf2M5…>with the current availability status so you can see in real time what's still available.

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.

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!
