Streaming StoryTime and Public Domain Titles
by Shawn Andary 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

Hello all, I found a website that has organized public domain children's books by grade level. This might allow some to stream storytime without the worry of violating copyright laws. You can check out the site at https://concretecomputing.com/thoughts/list-of-public-domain-free-books-for- kids-by-grade-level/ Links are provided to the corresponding Gutenberg title in a variety of formats including Kindle and ePUB, and in many cases illustrations are included. Here are some screen shots of a title recommended for 1st graders. ****************************** Shawn Andary Director Superiorland Library Cooperative (906) 228-7697 ext. 2 sandary(a)uproc.lib.mi.us "Bad libraries build [only] collections, good libraries build services, great libraries build communities." -R.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KALAMAZOO PUBLIC LIBRARY WILL BE CLOSED MARCH 14–APRIL 5
by Farrell Howe 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 13, 2020 CONTACT Farrell Howe Marketing & Communications Manager 269.553.7879 farrellh(a)kpl.gov<mailto:farrellh@kpl.gov> All Kalamazoo Public Library Locations will be Closed March 14–April 5 Kalamazoo, MI, Friday, March 13, 2020. All Kalamazoo Public Library locations will be closed March 14–April 5 to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our community. We realize that this may present a hardship to some of our patrons and regret that we must close. Important Information to Know During the Closure Why are you closed March 14–April 5? On Thursday, March 12, Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued a mandate to close all Michigan schools grades K-12 through April 5 to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Whitmer also urged all Michigan residents to practice self-isolation by staying home. Kalamazoo Public Library considers the health of our patrons and staff a top priority. To help reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 among the high number of residents who utilize our library locations on a daily basis, and thus increasing the risk of exposure to the rest of our community, we will comply with the Governor’s order. What if I have library materials currently checked out? Please keep them until we reopen. Due dates and holds will automatically be extended to accommodate the closure period. Due dates on MelCat items will also be extended and new requests will not be filled at this time. Please note all drop boxes will be locked and unavailable during the closure. Will any KPL services be available during the closure period? While our physical buildings will be closed, our website kpl.gov<http://www.kpl.gov>, is our online branch and is always open. KPL offers a large variety of digital options<https://www.kpl.gov/digital-catalog/> including eBooks<https://www.kpl.gov/catalog/ebooks/>, eAudiobooks<https://www.kpl.gov/catalog/eaudiobooks/>, eVideos<https://www.kpl.gov/catalog/evideos/>, eMusic<https://www.kpl.gov/catalog/emusic/> and eMagazines<https://www.kpl.gov/catalog/emagazines/>. Learn how you can “get digital” on our website<https://www.kpl.gov/about/news/lets-get-digital/>. How can I keep updated about the reopening of the library? All service updates will be posted on the homepage of our website and on social media (Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/KalamazooPublicLibrary>, Twitter<https://twitter.com/KzooLibrary> and Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/kzoolibrary/>). ####

Coronavirus on Surfaces
by Roy Soncrant 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

The first link below is to a research paper about how long the SARS-CoV-2 virus can survive on various types of surfaces. I do not know if this was fully peer reviewed. Personally I believe the organizations involved in the research provide a certain amount of credibility. One of the materials tested was cardboard. This is as close to a book as I have been able to locate. The second link is the feeder article. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.09.20033217v1.full.pdf https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/03/tests-show-covid-19-can-live-on-som…
