I remember Josh from Ploud website training. He was wicked smart with customizing the software and asked great questions during the workshop. "I'm doing X, and I'd like it to do Y also," he'd say. I look at his computer screen and think, "I did not even know that was possible." He will be missed.

SRLC Presents: Binding Glue: Trauma, Resilience, and the Small Town Library -Patrick Lloyd
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Greetings! The Library of Michigan (LM) is excited to announce a new continuing education opportunity. LM's new webinar series, SRLC Presents brings to you select sessions from the cancelled 2020 Loleta Fyan Small & Rural Libraries Conference. Join us Tuesday, July 14 at 2:00 PM for "Binding Glue: Trauma, Resilience, and the Small Town Library," presented by Patrick Lloyd. Tuesday, July 14 @ 2:00 ET SRLC Presents: Binding Glue: Trauma, Resilience, and the Small Town Library -Patrick Lloyd<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/event.jsp?event=311&> Cost: Free Increasingly, the answers to our patrons' questions seem to lie outside the walls of our libraries rather than within them. As more and more folks approach our desks with questions regarding basic needs assistance and other social problems, we must begin to consider our work in ways beyond books and typical customer service. We know that libraries can change lives. In smaller communities, libraries can also save lives. This session will highlight the difficulties facing many patrons, how the public library serves to protect them, and ways our institutions can strengthen the resiliency of individuals and communities. Instructor: Patrick Lloyd, LMSW is the first library social worker in Texas and the only helping professional on City of Georgetown staff. Working within a suburban community, Patrick's work is holistic in nature and includes assessment and referral of patrons with diverse needs, identification of local resource gaps, advocating for expansion of social service capacity within the city, and serving as a liaison between city staff and local nonprofit agencies. He is a member of the PLA Social Work Task Force, created in the fall of 2018. Patrick has presented at ALA, PLA, and Texas Library Association Conferences and at state library-sponsored functions across the country. This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan. Evette M.

CARES Act Grants - What Is Digital Inclusion and Issues with CIPA webinar
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 25 Jun '20

25 Jun '20

We covered the CARES Act focus on digital inclusion and CIPA today in a brief Q & A webinar. The recording link and topical document links are below and the recording will be posted to the CARES Act web site soon. The focus on digital inclusion comes from the CARES Act legislation, specifically the language that the purpose of the act is “To expand digital network access, purchase internet accessible devices, and provide technical support services.“ As this is federal funding for internet access, the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) does apply, but only to grant funded devices. * For suggested ideas on digital inclusion purchases – see CARES Act Grant Program Application Information <https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/lm_2020_LSTA_Cares_act…> , page 4. * For more detail on CIPA and digital inclusion – see CIPA & CARES Act Fact Sheet - Filtering Hotspots and Mobile Devices<https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/lm_LSTA_2020_CARES_Act…>. * For the link to the Q & A recording from today – see CARES Act Grants - What Is Digital Inclusion and Issues with CIPA<https://michigan-host.zoom.us/rec/share/wclWPqvaymhIRZXDyl7WHZERDNjceaa8g3A…> - Password: 7y$C+b.I If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

We hope you can join us tomorrow as we discuss digital inclusion with Connect Michigan. Details to login to the meeting are below. The New Opportunities in Adult Programming virtual meeting will return on Thursday, June 25 at 2:00 pm Eastern. Next week our topic will be digital inclusion. LM currently has CARES Act grants funding available for digital inclusion efforts. Let's learn more about what digital inclusion is and why it is important for libraries to be part of the effort to increase digital inclusion in our communities. We will be joined by Eric Frederick, Executive Director for Connected Nation Michigan. Eric will provide us a national and statewide view of where our communities stand now with access to broadband, what digital inclusion is, and how we can all engage in efforts to increase access to it across Michigan. The pandemic has really highlighted the need for more work in this area to ensure everyone has access to a vital and basic requirement for 21st century life. We hope this session will give you some ideas for your own CARES Act digital inclusion grant application that is due on July 6 at 5pm ET as well.
