Greetings! Registration is now open for October Library Law Spotlight Webinar. This webinar will take place on Friday, October 30, 2020 from 11:00am-12:00pm. This month's topic is Bylaws. Bylaws are the rules that trustees must adhere to as members of the board. Attendance, recruitment, officer elections, duties and limits of authority are all topics that comprehensive bylaws may cover. Bylaws assist a board in maintaining order and in assuring consistency through changes in membership on the board. This session will discuss how a board can create, update and maintain their bylaws so their rules remain relevant and useful.

Re: [Michlib-l] NOW AVAILABLE! 2021 Early Literacy Calendars
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 06 Oct '20

06 Oct '20

Just a reminder that the Library of Michigan has already purchased the PLA Early Literacy Calendar (featured in the PLA message below) for public libraries across Michigan. So, to recap, the following materials were sent directly to public library directors (via LibPass, the Annual Report channel) on Friday, as part of our Ready to Read Michigan program<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michi…>! Due to limited quantities purchased I cannot share the links widely via this listserv, but once your director forwards them to staff you are free to download the materials and use as you see fit to engage your patrons/community: * PLA’s 2021 Early Literacy Activities Calendar: HOT “off the presses!!!” Libraries can print and distribute it to patrons monthly, use it in e-Newsletters, or even post it on your library website! * Every Child Ready to Read Toolkit for Serving Early Childhood Educators (2017): This toolkit comes with a guide to serving early childhood educators, pre-made slides, fillable agendas, and more! Please use this to engage early childhood educators in your community. The project described was supported by the Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five Initiative (PDG B-5), Grant Number 90TP0002, from the Office of Child Care, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the Office of Child Care, the Administration for Children and Families, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Library by appointment
by Angela Badke 06 Oct '20

06 Oct '20

Hi All! My library is currently offering curbside services only, but my tribe (we're a tiny tribal library!) is asking about possibly going to by-appointment only to allow patrons to come in to use the computers and briefly browse. For those libraries currently, or previously, offering by-appointment only entrance into your buildings, I hoped you could answer some questions: 1. What are you doing/how are you handling making appointments? Do patrons call in, set up an appointment online, use an app, etc.? 2. How long are your appointment times? How long in between appointment sessions? 3. Cleaning in between appointments? Or, just scheduled times (multiple) each day? 4. Do you offer appointments for computers only, with patrons being allowed to quickly browse stacks "as normal."? Or, are you offering for both browsing and computer use? 5. Any challenges that you've found doing by-appointment only? (Other than not being able to let people in when they want to come in). Thank you all so much for any help! Angela Library Director Ojibwa Community Library Keweenaw Bay Indian Community 409 Superior Ave. Baraga, MI 49908 906-353-8163

Virtual Anti-loneliness Programs - a NNLM webinar
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 06 Oct '20

06 Oct '20

Loneliness is something our young adults and senior citizens might especially be experiencing at this time... Connections: Virtual Anti-loneliness Programs in the time of COVID-19<https://nnlm.gov/class/virtual-antiloneliness-programs-covid19/26910> Network of the National Library of Medicine Wednesday, Oct 7, 2020 2:00PM - 3:00PM CT (3pm ET) Loneliness and social isolation are rampant in America, according to many experts. The Center for Disease Control calls loneliness an epidemic and says it has a higher morbidity rate than obesity (about the same as smoking two packs of cigarettes a day). Studies have shown that loneliness cuts across all age, social, race, and economic demographics. We have many virtual friends, but few in reality. COVID-19 has exacerbated this problem. While many of the programs outlined are designed for in-person, there are ways public libraries can help combat loneliness even in a remote fashion. The Oceanside Library has created a program to combat social isolation/loneliness. The program, Connections, crosses all demographics and includes passive as well as active programming. The presentation will address: * Identification of existing programs which have an anti-loneliness component in them * Creation of programs which have anti-loneliness as a key function * Adjusting programs to have an anti-loneliness component * Dealing with COVID-related issues Tony Iovino has been the Assistant Director for Community Services for the Oceanside Library since January 2015. Prior to that, he was the head of litigation and managing partner for a law firm in Garden City that he started in 1986. Tony received his undergraduate degree from the University of Richmond, his Juris Doctorate from St. John's University School of Law, and has completed a Master of Science in Library Science program at the University of Kentucky. Tony is a published author (Notary Public Enemy, Diversion Press) and poet. He served on the Oceanside School District Board of Education and has served as a director and attorney for dozens of non-profit and public boards. He and his wife of 40 years, Angela, have two grown daughters.
