Scalpers for library events???
by Emily Dumas 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

So we've run into a bizarre issue in the last few weeks and I was wondering if any other library has experienced this. Any time we advertise an Adult program on Facebook we're bombarded with people (probably bots) saying they have tickets to sell to it (please note all our programs are free). We block and hide these comments, and plan to add a disclaimer that programs are free, but it's getting really annoying and hard to keep up with! I wanted to know if anyone else has seen this happening for their events, and what did you do about it? Thanks! Emily -- Emily M. Dumas Library Director Royal Oak Public Library 248.246.3710

zv056 Cass District Library - Need packing materials
by Shiloh Pawelski 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

Hello all, In my newness to MelCat world, I went through our packing materials and tried to throw out any that would be not good enough to send through RIDES (I looked through the policies and procedures, like a good human being). This seemed like such a good idea...And now I am out of appropriately sized packing materials. Does anyone have any DVD boxes, and medium to large sized envelopes? Also, can someone tell me where to find the information for envelope sizing? I can see people using different terminology for envelope sizes, and want in on the loop! Thank you to all who clicked this email! You're the best! -- *Shiloh Pawelski* *Interloan Coordinator * *Cass District Library* 319 M 62 Cassopolis, MI 49031 *269. 357 -7822 ext. 102*

FW: NEWS RELEASE: New MDHHS Epidemic Order Allows Indoor Group Exercise, Non-Contact Sports
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

Hi Everyone! Please see the press release, below for the release explaining the most recent MDHHS order, out today. There are no changes for Michigan Libraries. Prohibition on indoor gatherings, 30% occupancy and emphasis on work from home all still in place at least until Midnight, Jan 31, 2021. For more information, see the links in the document below, or https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98178_98455-533660--,00.h… Thanks! Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

[cid:image001.png@01D6E9AA.9A2D4AE0] From: Michigan State Police <MichStatePolice(a)govsubscriptions.michigan.gov> Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2021 12:07 PM To: Membiela, Clare (MDE) <MembielaC(a)michigan.gov> Subject: NEWS RELEASE: New MDHHS Epidemic Order Allows Indoor Group Exercise, Non-Contact Sports [News from the State Emergency Operations Center] New MDHHS Epidemic Order Allows Indoor Group Exercise, Non-Contact Sports Gatherings remain limited, group exercise and non-contact sports now open to support mental and physical health LANSING, MICH. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) updated its epidemic order today to allow re-opening of additional activities where Michiganders can remain masked and socially distanced, as this has been scientifically shown to slow the virus. This includes indoor group exercise and non-contact sports. The new order is effective Saturday, Jan. 16 and will last until Sunday, Jan. 31. “The efforts we have made together to protect our families, frontline workers and small business owners are working. While there has been a slight uptick in our percent positivity rate, our cases per million have plateaued and more hospital beds are becoming available. Today, we are confident that MDHHS can lift some of the protocols that were previously in place,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. “Michigan is once again standing out as a nationwide leader in fighting this virus, and we must continue working to keep it that way. One of the most important things Michiganders can do is to make a plan to get the safe and effective vaccine when it’s available to you. And as always, mask up and maintain six feet of social distancing. We will end this pandemic together.” “We continue to make progress in our fight against this virus, and expanding vaccination to healthcare workers, long-term care residents and staff, some essential frontline workers and those age 65 and older is bringing us closer to ending the pandemic,” said Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, chief medical executive and chief deputy for health at MDHHS. “It is important that everyone continues to do their part by avoiding gatherings, wearing masks properly and social distancing. This remains just as important, even as the safe and effective vaccine is being administered, to protect those who are not yet able to be vaccinated.” Previously, MDHHS had identified stabilization or declines in three metrics<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> as critical for relaxing protocols. Although Michigan saw improvements across all three following the “pause” implemented in mid-November, some numbers have plateaued or begun to increase in recent days: * Hospital capacity dedicated to COVID-19 patients has been in 13-day decline, with current capacity is at 12% for beds with COVID-19 patients. Peaked at 19.6% on Tuesday, Dec. 4. * Overall case rates: increasing, currently at 266 cases per million. Peaked at 740 cases per million on Saturday, Nov. 14 and declined to a low of 239 on Friday, Dec. 25 * Positivity rate: plateauing; currently at 9.1% after reaching a low of 8.1% on Monday, Dec. 28 and increasing up to 10% since then. “We are reopening cautiously because caution is working to save lives. The new order allows group exercise and non-contact sports, always with masks and social distancing, because in the winter it’s not as easy to get out and exercise and physical activity is important for physical and mental health,” said MDHHS Director Robert Gordon. “We are glad that we made it through the holidays without a big increase in numbers, but there are also worrying signs in the new numbers. We need to remain focused and continue to see declines in hospitalizations and to bring case rates and percent positivity down by doing what we know works.” Indoor residential gatherings remain limited to 10 people and two households. MDHHS continues to urge families to avoid indoor gatherings or to pick a single other household to interact with consistent with guidance already released by the department<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. Families are encouraged to stay home as much as possible to maintain momentum and to protect loved ones. Families are also encouraged to Mask Up, Mask Right<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>, using guidance for what masks to wear and how to wear them. [Jan 13 image] The epidemic order continues to temporarily pause indoor dining in bars and restaurants, but they can continue to offer outdoor dining, carry-out and delivery. The working plan is to open indoor dining with mitigation measures, capacity limits and a curfew on February 1, but the ultimate decision depends on data continuing to stabilize. Additional details on the reopening pathway are expected next week. Colleges and universities can have students return to campus for the winter semester and restart in-person courses as of Jan. 18. As before, employees who work in jobs that cannot be performed from home can continue to go to work, while employees who can work from home should continue to do so. Individualized activities with distancing and face masks are still allowed: retail shopping; public transit; restaurant takeout; andpersonal-care services such as haircuts, by appointment. Information around this outbreak is changing rapidly. The latest information is available at Michigan.gov/Coronavirus<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> and CDC.gov/Coronavirus<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>.
