by Shannon White - Library of Michigan 29 May '20

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.

PPE Training Compilation
by Jessica Ishmael 28 May '20

28 May '20

Hi Everyone, Below are the compiled responses from my question about providing PPE training to library staff. I hope it is as helpful to everyone else as it has been for me! Best, Jessica Ishmael Director Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W John Beers Rd Stevensville, MI 49127 (269) 429-9575 ext 126 PPE Training Compilation ---------------------- ORIGINAL POST: ---------------------- Does anyone have a plan for how they will be providing/delivering PPE training to their staff that they would be willing to share? Are you conducting the training yourself or will you arrange for someone to come in (who) - or have you already made arrangements? Is anyone doing PPE training virtually/remotely? ---------------------- RESPONSES ---------------------- Matt Church, Library Director Berkley Public Library Our City's Public Safety department is providing guidance on PPE for staff. --------------------------------------- Jessica Keyseer Grosse Pointe Library A friend sent me this video from Illinois. I haven't had a chance to preview it yet, but it's the first library-specific training I've seen for using PPE. https://www.railslibraries.info/events/181992?fbclid=IwAR1ooHBcQnGeGiTqhFIq… --------------------------------------- Mary Harrison Coloma Public Library Basically, staff need to know how to handle our materials at check-in, curbside service, and to be safe with the PPE. They also need guidance on hygiene expectations. I am planning on doing the training myself since much of it seems library specific. I can show my staff the safe technique for removing gloves without creating more contamination, etc. There are good YouTube demos for that. --------------------------------------- Holly Hentz Hamburg Township Library I will be conducting the staff training myself. I will be covering hand washing, masks, gloves, social distancing, cleaning of high-touch area, and the cleaning products that we have. It really shouldn’t take long as it’s mostly common sense. I’m doing it over 2 days to allow for social distancing (we have a staff of 14). --------------------------------------- Cindy Mack Brighton District Library Our county health department is preparing a general one that we will be showing all staff. They have been a great resource to me so hopefully yours would be just as helpful. --------------------------------------- Jude Halloran Highland Library I was wondering if these would fill that need, from CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/cloth-face-covering.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diy-cloth-fa… --------------------------------------- Julie Meredith Clarkston Independence District Library I have been sending out "Work from Home assignment" emails each day for the past 2 1/2 weeks with a short video to watch, most of them are from the CDC. If you would like to see the webpage compilation of what we've done so far, I can share the link with you. It's not fancy, but it seems to be working: https://cidlibrary.org/WFH ---------------------------------------

Hot Spots & Data Plans: MCLS Partners with Granite
by Services 28 May '20

28 May '20

**please excuse cross-postings** Granite, a resource for hotspots and data plans Libraries play a key role in ensuring internet access for all. When the physical library building is closed or use is limited, providing internet access requires new tools and resources. Hot spots can be part of the solution. MCLS is now an affinity partner with Granite, a provider of hot spots and data plans. MCLS is referring libraries to Granite. The purchase will be between the library and Granite and MCLS will provide libraries with the MCLS designated Granite contact. Libraries interested in learning more should contact MCLS Group Purchasing, services(a)mcls.org or (800) 530-9019 ext 401. Thank you! Stephanie D.

How to provide library service to seniors, the most vulnerable population affected during COVID-19, has been the question raised by outreach librarians across the United States. According to the Central for Disease Control (CDC), 8 out of 10 deaths related to COVID-19 are individuals aged 65 years and older. While we might not be able to visit our seniors or facilities in-person for the foreseeable future, libraries can reach this population while we shelter in place. During this webinar, please find tips and tricks that David J. Kelsey of the St. Charles (IL) Public Library District (SCPLD) and Glenna Godinsky of the Gail Borden (IL) Public Library District recommend in serving the senior demographic during COVID-19. Presenters David J. Kelsey has been the Outreach Services Librarian at the St. Charles Public Library in St. Charles, IL since 2015, where he coordinates the department's services and programs.

His team is the recipient of the national 2018 ASGCLA Exceptional Service Award, administered by the Association of Specialized, Government, and Cooperative Library Agencies, a division of ALA. For his contributions to the outreach field, David received the 2019 John Philip Excellence in Outreach Award from the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services, an affiliate of ALA. David has been published in the March/April 2017 and July/August 2018 editions of Public Libraries magazine and was featured in the March/April 2018 edition of American Libraries magazine.
