by Kevin Ayala 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hello All, We are looking to upgrade our phone system and would like to hear from those that did this type of upgrade in the past year. We have two options, buy the equipment outright and own it, or rent/lease the equipment without any upfront cash outlay, just a monthly charge. Thanks for your help, Kevin M. Ayala Assistant Director Bay County Library System 500 Center Ave. Bay City, MI 48708 (989)894-2837 ext. 2219

Clarification on Whether Employee needs documentation to return to work
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

Hi : During the Director's call today, I was uncertain as to what the requirements are for a employee who had tested positive for Covid-19 to return to work. I was pretty certain that employees with a Covid-19 diagnosis needed to get clearance from a medical professional. Well, I was partly right.... And WRONG- that's what I get for not double checking! The MiOSHA rules require Health Department clearance if the employee was under an isolation or quarantine order. The MiOSHA Rules also require that he CDC guidelines are used to determine when a diagnosed employee is no longer infectious. The CDC guidelines , in addition to the 10 day metric below, also emphasize that a patient should consult with heir health care provide to determine when they have recovered. Depending on the severity of the illness, an employee may have slightly different criteria. It is also clear that any type of a Medical Provider's note requirement is NOT part of the guidelines. Employers should NOT require tests or Dr's notes for employees to return to work Upon further review, here is the clarification, and the requirements: The MiOSHA Emergency Rules, Rule 6(5) states: "The employer shall allow employees with a known or suspected case of COVID-19 to return to the workplace only after they are no longer infectious according to the latest guidelines from the CDC and they are released from any quarantine or isolation order by the local public health department." The rules require employees to implement the CDC guidelines and if the employee was under a quarantine or isolation order, the employee must be released by the Health Department to return to work. Latest guidelines from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/general-business-faq.ht… https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/end-home-isolatio… https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/disposition-in-home-patients.… The CDC guidelines seem to suggest that a person diagnosed with Covid-19 should * isolate for 10 days from onset of symptoms or positive test AND be free of fever (without fever-reducing medications) AND their other symptoms are improving before being around others, * the guidelines also indicate that patients should consult with their healthcare providers to determine when they can be around others and whether they require additional testing. So, In SUM: Employees with diagnosed Covid-19: * Must follow CDC guidelines for when they can be around others * Must obtain a release by the Health Department, if they have been under quarantine or isolation orders * SHOULD consult with healthcare provider to determine recovery (this is especially true for severe Covid-19 cases) Libraries should consult their local health departments for additional information. I hope this is helpful! I apologize for the confusion! Have a great weekend! Take Care Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

The National Day of Racial Healing will be on January 19, 2021. Racial healing is a process that restores individuals and communities to wholeness, repairs the damage caused by racism and transforms societal structures into ones that affirm the inherent value of all people. Learn about opportunities to support racial healing through library programming and download a Library Action Kit: https://healourcommunities.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Designed-Website-…. Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Libraries: Progress and Promise<https://www.amigos.org/EDI?qt-equity_diversity_and_inclusion_i=1#qt-equity_…> Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives and practices in library services have continued to grow and gain support over the past several years. However, now we need to ask ourselves, are we not only talking the talk, but walking the walk when it comes to EDI. Are the EDI initiatives and plans we developed years ago still working? Did they ever work? Are we seeing a positive impact from these efforts in our communities? What about among our staff and ourselves personally? We must thoroughly and honestly answer these questions to keep moving forward. Join Amigos Library Services on December 2, 2020 for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Libraries: Progress and Promise. The day's sessions will guide you on taking a closer look - both inward and outward within your library's service community - at EDI and explore what initiatives in your library have worked, ones that have not and new ones that show promise. Registration closes November 30, 2020 at 9:00am EST/8:00am CST.
