Headlee Override Approved in Clinton Twp
by Tamara Denby 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

First, it is wonderful to see so much great news being shared on this loop this morning! I know firsthand the difficulties in facing millage proposals in an election during this unique and challenging time. Congratulations to all the libraries who have been fortunate and had their millages passed! I would also like to add a bit of good news. The voters of Clinton Township (Lenawee) approved a Headlee Override to restore the millage for our library. This is the first time a millage for the library has been brought to Clinton voters since 1937, and I am very grateful for the support this wonderful community has shown for our library! Tamara Denby Director Clinton Twp Public Library (Lenawee) --

Five Additional MAP Partner Destination Venues Now Open
by Jim Flury 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Good Morning, I am pleased to share the news that five of our MAP partner destination venues that had been closed, are now open and ready to welcome MAP visitors! The five are: Art Experience Arts & Scraps Beaumier Upper Peninsula Heritage Center Holocaust Memorial Center Whaley Historic House Museum This brings the total number of currently active MAP partner destinations to 408. Please note that a number of our "up north" MAP partner destinations, those that are open only during summer vacation/tourist season, have opted to not open to visitors, MAP or otherwise, in 2020. Here's to them being ready to go with MAP again in 2021! Please understand that as is the case with life in general today, the MAP world is a constantly changing and evolving one. Today's MAP destination openings could be followed by tomorrow's MAP destination closings. We do our best to keep you (and the MAP website) up to date with these changes. But as it is not realistic for us to be able to check the daily status (open or closed) of 408 MAP partner destination venues, we cannot emphasize strongly enough that when you get MAP related questions from patrons, please, please, please remind them to call ahead to their destination of choice, prior to venturing out. All of us know that few things are as annoying as to show up at a destination, be that a restaurant or a store or a MAP venue, that advertises they are open on their website or social media page, only to find it closed. And of course, all indoor and likely many outdoor MAP partner destination venues have Covid-19 related restrictions of one type or another in place, ranging from mask usage; to having to call ahead to make an appointment to visit; to having to reserve timed tickets; to setting aside certain hours of the day for vulnerable visitors only; to placing limits on the total number of visitors allowed at a certain time, etc. You know the drill. Again, call ahead. On a related note, if you discover that a MAP partner destination in your community has opened (or closed), please help us out by letting us know. And as always if you are aware of a destination that is not a current MAP partner that you know would be a good "fit" for our program, by all means steer them our way. The public library is always one of the most highly respected institutions in any community. So perspective MAP destinations would much rather listen to a sales pitch from you, than from us. Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim F. Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100, ext 133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us

He'll discuss how to adopt an infinite mindset - a prerequisite for any leader who aspires to leave their organization in better shape than they found it. He'll also discuss, based on his book "Start With Why," how to go beyond talking about "what you do" or "how you do it" to make a real difference in your advocacy efforts. Sinek will be in conversation with 2018-2019 United for Libraries President Skip Dye. Described as "a visionary thinker with a rare intellect," Simon Sinek<https://simonsinek.com/> has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do. He is the author of multiple bestselling books including "Start With Why", "Leaders Eat Last," "Together is Better" and "The Infinite Game." Skip Dye is Senior Vice President, Library Sales and Digital Strategy, Penguin Random House. He has been an active member of the United for Libraries board since 2015. Prior to his position at Penguin Random House, he was VP, adult library and academic marketing, Random House, LLC, and VP, sales director, Random House Publisher Services, Random House, LLC. In addition to the featured keynote by Simon Sinek, the United for Libraries Virtual<http://www.ala.org/united/virtual> event will also feature keynote sessions focused on equity, diversity, and inclusion; how groups can plan for an uncertain future, the changing role of the library in the community, and more; plus expert speakers on current topics facing library Trustees, Friends, Foundations, and staff who work with them.
