Registration is now open for May trainings on facilitation for Michigan library staff!
by Jan Davidson 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Registration is now open<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/special-programs.html> for upcoming trainings for Michigan library staff on leading effective meetings and conversations! These trainings are purposely small (only 16 spots per session) in order to include a lot of personal attention and hands-on practice, so we encourage you to grab your spot fast. Offered again this year by MCLS in partnership with the Library of Michigan, the trainings will be taught by Mary and Sarah of We Can Work It Out, LLC<http://www.wecanworkitoutllc.com/index.html>. Skills taught and practiced can be used in a variety of settings including staff and work meetings, strategic planning sessions, one-on-one interactions with library patrons, library sponsored community conversations, and focus groups. They will include learning theory, as well as practice of skills and peer feedback. Because they are funded by the Library of Michigan, these trainings are only open to staff of Michigan libraries, but are open to and encouraged for all levels and roles of staff. The first two sessions (The Facilitator's Toolbox Part 1: Make your meetings effective, efficient, and fun! and Part 2: Practical skills for responding to conflict and coming to agreement) will be held May 4 and 5 in Lansing. Two more sessions of each training to be held in other locations (TBA) in September will be open for registration soon. All sessions will be 9:30am - 4pm. Registration is just $40 and includes all materials and lunch! We hope you can join us! Read more here<https://www.mcls.org/news/?p=7684> or register<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/special-programs.html> today! NOTE: These workshops are an update of the "Facilitation Training: Basic" and "Facilitation Trainings: Advanced (Coming to Agreement and Handling Conflict)" that were offered the past two years around the state. Those who have already attended those trainings would find this to be a repeat of similar information and will not want to register again. ********************** Jan Davidson Project Manager Engagement, Consulting, and Training Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) 517-492-3811 / toll-free 800-530-9019 x111 davidsonj(a)mcls.org<mailto:davidsonj@mcls.org>

Yesterday evening, Governor Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) released new recommendations that discourage events and gatherings of more than 100 people and the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared COVID-19 a pandemic. We are committed to doing our part to curb the transmission of the coronavirus. This means we will be changing some of our programming for this spring, including rescheduling Spring Institute for Youth Services as well as our upcoming Human Resources for Libraries workshop. Please rest assured that we are committed to providing quality and timely professional development, education and networking opportunities for our members and that we will fully refund registration costs for attendees in the event that programs are cancelled or if for any reason attendees are unable to attend the rescheduled events. We will update you with more information as soon as details become available. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time! [cid:image010.jpg@01D5F880.2383F310] Deborah E.

Maud Prston Palenske Library response to recent Confirmed COVID cases in South Bend....
by Stephanie Masin 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Greetings all -- My supervisors and I met this morning and had just decided to cancel programming if/when there were confirmed cases in the SWMI area. As soon as I left that meeting we learned of a case in South Bend. We also learned that Kalamazoo Public had just issued a statement that they had canceled all use of their meeting rooms. As such, we made the decision to cancel our programming through the end of March and we will reevaluate each week leading into April as to how we will proceed with April programming. This pertains not only to our programs, but use of the meeting rooms by any group. We are in the process of notifying groups today and tomorrow. Below is the statement I posted on FB and will be on website: Greetings everyone -- We consider the health and safety of our patrons and staff a top priority. Due to the recent confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Michigan and a recent case in the Michiana area (St. Joseph County/South Bend area), and the recommendation from Governor Gretchen Whitmer to avoid meeting in large groups, starting tomorrow, Friday, March 13, we are cancelling all of our programs effective through the end of the month. We will continue to evaluate the situation each week and, as we get closer to the end of the month we will keep everyone updated on April events . Please note: All public use of meeting rooms and community rooms from outside organizations is also canceled until further notice. We are working on contacting all of the groups that use our meeting rooms as well as community members who have signed up for our programs. We would also ask that for the foreseeable future, if you have donations you were planning on bringing in for the Friends, please wait to donate until we give the "all clear." The library will remain open for the time being and we will continue to disinfect surfaces and books. For those who are limiting their exposure by staying home but still wish to use library services, remember that we offer a large variety of ebooks and audiobooks through Overdrive at https://smdl.overdrive.com/ We will also work to add "virtual"/recorded storytimes and post those as well, for those who still want to have a storytime experience. We will keep you updated through our website, social media, and newsletter and as always, you can call us at 983-7167 if you have any questions or want/need to renew materials. As noted in our previous post, we do not want anyone to panic... but we do want to err on the side of caution. Thank you for your understanding. Stephanie Masin - Library Director Stephanie Masin Library Director Maud Preston Palenske Memorial Library 500 Market Street St. Joseph, MI 49085 (269) 983-7167 www.stjoseph.lib.mi.us<http://www.stjoseph.lib.mi.us> *This message is for the intended recipient only and may be privileged, otherwise protected, or subject to other legal rules.
