virtual program recommendation
by Saffert, Carli 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

Donna Searight Simons, author of Copper Empire, is available to do virtual presentations via Zoom regarding the 1913 strike in Michigan's Copper Country. We have hosted her here in St. Clair County in the past, and we had a great response. In 1913, thousands of copper miners went out on strike in the Copper Country. This labor strike tore the community in two; some people sympathized with the miners' dangerous working conditions, while others sided with mine and business owners. As the strike entered its sixth month, the women's auxiliary decided to hold a Christmas party for miners and their families at Italian Hall in Calumet. During the party, someone shouted fire which caused people to panic and run down the stairwell. When someone tripped on the stairs, it caused a domino effect as people trampled onto one another. Over 70 people were killed. Donna has done many presentations on this topic at libraries throughout Michigan and has written a work of historical fiction titled Copper Empire. Her Power Point presentation is 40 minutes long and includes historical photos borrowed from Michigan Technological University along with a video. She is also available to answer questions from the audience following the presentation. You can reach Donna at dksyooper(a)yahoo.com<mailto:dksyooper@yahoo.com> for further details.

Author Presentation Recommendation
by Katie Rothley 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

Dear Michlib-L, We recently hosted retired journalist and first-time author Marney Rich Keenan and she was incredibly passionate, knowledgeable and engaging with our audience. She just published her book: "The Snow Killings: Inside the Oakland County Child Killer Investigation" which was a personal topic for many of our attendees. Marney and I had planned on an hour event as a whole, but we received so many questions that the event ended after just a little over an hour and half. I highly recommend engaging her as a virtual presenter. I did assist and run her presentation from my computer while she talked, as this was her first one. She encouraged questions, looked forward to the interaction and really took the time with patience to answer every single one. Here is her contact information for anyone who is interested: "Marney Keenan" <marney(a)marneykeenan.com> Katie Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Outreach Librarian Lyon Township Public Library 27005 S. Milford Rd., South Lyon, MI 48178 https://www.lyon.lib.mi.us/ (248) 437-8800 ext. 618

Roomba?
by Valerie Meyerson 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

Has anyone out there jumped on the Roomba bandwagon yet? We are considering purchasing one to give it a try. Seems like it is too good to be true - and expensive if it backfires! If you have a Roomba, does it make it around all the chairs and stacks or does it get stuck? Do you recommend? Thank you - Valerie Meyerson, Library Director Petoskey District Library [jpg Blue Small] Please think about the environment prior to printing this email.

Meeting Room Policies
by Stephanie Daniels 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

Dear Librarians, We are trying to create a meeting room policy for our new library. If your library permits social parties, what are the charges for use? Is it only permitted during library hours? If it is a weekend social party are there additional charges for staff supervision? I know due to COVID-19 most meeting rooms are not available, but I wanted to ask about library policies with regard to this type of gathering. Regards,Stephanie DanielsDirectorHartford Public Library12 Church StreetHartford, MI 49057(269)621-3408
