Many Michigan libraries and historical organizations are turning to virtual programming to connect with their patrons during the COVID-19 Pandemic. For those seeking potential speakers, look no further than the staff of the Library of Michigan. Staff from the library's Special Collections Department have presentations available on a wide range of topics related to Michigan literature, history and genealogy. A list of these topics as well as additional information may be found on the Library of Michigan's website at: https://bit.ly/2TMJmGS.

No kid hungry...
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 29 May '20

29 May '20

Hello Libraries! Did you know that Michigan's public library sites served 33,025 meals in the summer of 2019? That was an increase of 46% from 2018!!! With 50 libraries serving as sites last year, I think we can certainly strive for even greater impact in 2020. To become a Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) site go to: https://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,4615,7-140-66254_34491---,00.html for details. June 3rd is the deadline, but sponsors can continue to add sites for a few more weeks. Learn more! On this morning's webinar with Sara Harmon of the Michigan Department of Education's Office of Health & Nutrition, we talked about the Summer Food Service Program<https://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,4615,7-140-66254_34491---,00.html> and their "Meet Up, Eat Up, & Read Up" campaign. There are a lot of waivers and extensions to this year's program, so take a listen. Your library might want to consider being a "Grab & Go" site... To watch the recording go to: https://michigan-host.zoom.us/rec/share/6s5OEp_6tXlIQc-dwUzifLALB461X6a81yQ… Password: 0v%2%WB2 The slides are attached or you can access the SFSP slides online<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VEYCnRdPfNsMU7jBVEhhBuR1_skxEhwA/view?usp=…>. The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) also has a great "Libraries and Summer Food" site: https://www.cslpreads.org/libraries-and-summer-food/ with resources, planning ideas, and other ways to help. Reach out! Connect with a local sponsor<https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/2017_Sponsor_Directory_610745_7.pdf> to become a site. Can't find a sponsor in your area? Reach out to local school system or businesses to see how you might collaborate, or even become a sponsor location to provide shelf stable meals/snacks (you don't need a kitchen). Sara addresses such ideas in the webinar linked above. Don't forget, CSLP/LM created Read Up!<https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2020_SFSP_Read_Up_G…> - a guide for Summer Food Service Program sites<https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2020_SFSP_Read_Up_G…> with enrichment activities that support summer reading, created with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. You can edit this guide to insert your library information and provide copies to sponsors/sites in your region.

Job Share Role - Library Manager
by Kelly L. Jordan 29 May '20

29 May '20

Does anyone have experience with a job-share manager role in your library? If so, please respond directly. "In light of all that has transpired over the past few months, we are looking for library experienced staff to assist with guidance and implementation of many of the essential services we currently do not offer at our small, rural library. We know that once we reopen and if school this Fall cannot resume as normal, they will be more critical than ever. We have a very small staff with the passion and desire to assist our patrons and help carry out the services, but we lack the hands-on experience to bring us up to speed quickly. I know that our library needs to evolve so that our community continues to see the value, but I am already struggling to not only find the guidance, but to maintain my own work/life balance. (Granted, we all know the stresses of this pandemic haven't helped.) I am currently working on a co-manager / job-share proposal to share with my City Manager, but was hoping there may be others out there who have maneuvered these muddy waters before." Thank you for your help. Kelly

But to be honest, the most difficult decision I have ever made was deciding to cancel all of our summer in person programming. As many of you who program for families know, the summer is our busiest season. It's truly the time for public libraries to shine, to showcase their offerings, to provide something special and hook new users, and to engage with the community. So, it's incredibly difficult to make the decision to not offer in-person programming during that time." YALSA 2020 YA Services Symposium Going Virtual In response to the current public health climate, YALSA's Board of Directors have decided that the in-person symposium scheduled to take place November 6 - 8, 2020, in Reno will shift to a virtual event.

Two Articles For Sharing
by Jim Flury 29 May '20

29 May '20

Good Morning, Below are links to two articles I thought to be worthy of a share. One is an opinion piece by the President of New York Public Library called "Libraries Must Change." The second is from PEW Research, showing the level of confidence the public has when it comes to separating fact from fiction as it were, concerning COVID-19. Libraries can play a vital role here.

by Shannon White - Library of Michigan 29 May '20

I am passing this announcement below along since many of the MIOSHA requirements will be required for all workplaces when they are reopened. You can find some good videos for both employees and employers and other resources for preparing workplaces to reopen. If you are in Regions 6 & 8 and have any staff back in the library building you should also review. To sign up to receive announcements and press releases via email from the Governor's Office visit: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/MIEOG/subscriber/new?topic_id=MIEOG… Shannon White Library of Michigan, 702 W.

The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) within the Dept. of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) launched a new online COVID-19 Workplace Safety site - Michigan.gov/COVIDWorkplaceSafety<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> - the site provides guidance and a toolkit of resources to keep workplaces safe as sectors of the state's economy reopen. With the continued risk of COVID-19 spread, everyone in the workplace must take necessary precautions. The site includes MIOSHA issued guidelines, posters for employees and customers, factsheets, educational videos and a reopening checklist<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> - all of which will help businesses safely reopening their doors. "As we reengage our economy and begin the long road back to our normal routines, it's critical that we do so safely," LEO Director Jeff Donofrio said. "Michigan.gov/COVIDWorkplaceSafety<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> is designed to make the process of reopening safely easier and equip businesses and their staff with the resources necessary to protect themselves from the spread of COVID-19."

"Employers, employees, and customers who follow these guidelines will help ensure that everyone returns home safe at the end of the day." Best practices that employees should follow<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> to be vigilant in protecting themselves from exposure to COVID-19: * Wash hands regularly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, * Limit contact with others by remaining six feet apart, * Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and tools routinely, * Stay home if you or someone in your household is sick, * Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth, and * Practice self-screenings to check for any abnormal/new symptoms.
