Sanitizer
by Amy Goldyn 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Hi! I just wanted to pass along a great deal I found for sanitizer. I was able to find liquid hand sanitizer from Blake's Orchard & Cider Mill in Armada for $25 a gallon. The normal price is $30 a gallon, however; if you buy 10 or more cases, you will get the price break. Each case has four gallons in it. This sanitizer doesn't have the typical strong alcohol smell, it has a mild apple scent. Thanks, Amy Goldyn Finance Manager Genesee District Library 4195 W.

ALA News: ALA statement condemning police violence against BIPOC, protesters and journalists
by Jennifer L. Dean 16 Jun '20

16 Jun '20

ALA statement condemning police violence against BIPOC, protesters and journalists<https://bit.ly/2YAEiac> The American Library Association is deeply saddened by the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department, as well as the killings by police or vigilantes of Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, and far too many others. We are in solidarity with the statements of BCALA and APALA, and affirm our earlier statement condemning violence and racism towards Black people, Indigenous people and all people of color. We recognize “that institutionalized inequities based on race are embedded into our society and are reinforced through social institutions,” and we condemn the systemic racism and violence that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color experience on a daily basis in our inequitable society. We also condemn the violence that protesters and journalists across the country are facing while exercising their First Amendment rights. The former raise their voices to demand justice; the latter seek to document and share history as it is being made. Both have been subject to gratuitous attacks from police. The First Amendment promises freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble, and the right to petition the government, all of which are essential freedoms of our democracy and vital components of intellectual freedom.

This national news segment focused on how libraries are responding to challenges fueled by COVID-19, detailed in findings from Libraries Respond: COVID-19 Survey, a comprehensive survey of academic, public, and school libraries. The Survey documents a shift in services to support students, faculty, and communities at large during the pandemic and phased preparations for the months ahead. While virtually all libraries (99%) report limited access to the physical buildings, survey respondents reported leaps in the use of digital content, online learning, and virtual programs. More than 3,800 K-12 school, college and university, public and other libraries from all 50 states responded to the survey between May 12-18.
