Boosting Workplace Wellbeing is coming up July 31! This course is designed to introduce you to the PERMAH pillars for wellbeing and to help you develop small actions you can take to increase each of these pillars. Research shows that workplace wellbeing is an important factor in performance and positive change. This course will introduce the definition of, and importance of wellbeing in the workplace. It will also introduce the learner to the PERMAH evidence-based framework for wellbeing developed by Professor Martin Seligman, which suggests that the presence in our lives of positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment, and health all cultivate our wellbeing. During this course, attendees will discuss and develop specific interventions (small actions) they can take to boost each of the PERMAH elements of wellbeing. This is an interactive course that involves discussion, and participants should plan to turn their cameras on for full participation. Boosting Workplace Wellbeing<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/boosting-workplace-wellness-527.html> NEW! 1-day class, July 31, 10am - 12pm Eastern (9am - 11am Central) For this and other great workshops please visit our Training Store here https://store.mcls.org To learn about our Soft Skills and Cataloging Certificate Programs click here https://www.mcls.org/training-events/certification/ ************************************* Gwen Haviland, Training Department Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) 1407 Rensen St, Suite 1, Lansing, MI 48910 800-530-9019 ext 404 training(a)mcls.org

Larry Martin's WWII in Their Own Words - VIRTUAL
by Emily Blakowski 20 Jul '20

20 Jul '20

Hello Everybody, Back in May, the Clarkston Independence District Library (CIDL) and the Clarkston Community Historical Society presented the very first virtual edition of Larry Martin's WWII in Their Own Words with a very good turnout. Larry was very informative and entertaining about everything and anything related to World War II. He has interviewed soldiers and civilians who suffered and persevered during the war. Since COVID-19 has prevented him from going to libraries to physically present on this topic, he is very willing to do his program virtually. If you want to contact him for future events, his email is batt.chief(a)yahoo.com. For more information on Larry Martin's WWII in Their Own Words, check out his website: https://lmww2.com/ Sincerely, Emily Blakowski [cid:2b9a2e29-b883-4f58-9da4-d6ff159730c6]

Scaling back reopening or closing?
by Jessica Holman 20 Jul '20

20 Jul '20

Good morning, I don't know if any Michigan libraries have done so, but I have seen that some libraries in other parts of the country have closed again due to increasing COVID-19 cases. Has anyone in the state had to close again, or scale back their reopening plan? What are you using to determine whether you close again? Thank you, Jessica Holman Director Negaunee Public Library 319 W. Case St. PO Box 548 Negaunee, MI 49866 (906) 475-7700 ext. 18
