MiSEN/E-Rate booth at MLA this year
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

The Library of Michigan asked public library directors: if you don't apply for E-Rate discounts, what's stopping you? The majority response was not concerns about filtering but the administrative burden. The landscape has changed with the arrival of the Michigan State Education Network (MiSEN). It's a fiber backbone that provides fantastic speeds for a mere $.50/mb. What makes it even better is that libraries connected to the MiSEN will be able to sign a Letter of Agency to join consortium applications and stop filing E-Rate paperwork but still receive the discounts. No more forms! Want to learn more? Stop by the MiSEN booth at MLA located next to the registration booth or come to the library-specific E-Rate training on November 4 at Delta Township District Library from 10-2. Register here for the November 4 E-Rate training<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.…>.

Submit to NRR today!
by Rebecca Higgerson 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

Thank you to everyone who has submitted recommendations to the NRR website thus far. We will officially launch full access on Wednesday, October 16 to coincide with the MLA Conference, so please keep them coming!! https://nrr.ninja/ (We ask that all Cooperative Directors share with their libraries to ensure full state-wide coverage.—Thanks!) Rebecca Higgerson Kate Pohjola Andrade Shauna Quick *From:* Rebecca Higgerson <rhiggerson(a)brandonlibrary.org> *Sent:* Friday, July 19, 2019 2:57 PM *To:* 'michlib-l(a)mcls.org' <michlib-l(a)mcls.org>; 'directors(a)lists.tln.org' < directors(a)lists.tln.org> *Subject:* No Reservation Recommendations Dear Director Colleagues, In May 2018, the Woodlands Library Cooperative Continuing Education Committee, under Director Kate Pohjola Andrade, offered a workshop titled, “The care and feeding of our library buildings” in Jackson, Michigan. I attended and at the conclusion of the program Kate and I began discussing how public libraries could better share facilities-related information. As it often happens, the discussion grew into the larger issue of how libraries can share a wide variety of vendor information with each other without redundancy. The concept on which we settled was to offer a moderated website where directors can provide contact information for companies with whom they’ve had a positive experience. Thus “No Reservation Recommendations” (NRR) was born! Shauna Quick, Circulation Manager at Brandon Township Public Library, was brought into the project to design the website and ensure its functionality. Our “No Reservation Recommendations” website <https://nrr.ninja/> will provide you with more vendor options in an ever expanding area of categories and *arranged by cooperative boundaries*. However, in order to ensure that we have a robust database, we need all of you to submit those positive recommendations. Because, as we know, there is nothing better than recommendations from our trusted colleagues. To date we have the following categories (PLUS we are adding new ones as you let us know): · Attorneys · Auditors · Branding/Logos · Carpet · Doors · Electricians · Flooring · Maintenance Plans · Millage Campaigns · Other · Painters · People Counters · Phones · Plumbers · Printing/Copiers · Roofs · Security Staff · Security Systems · Strategic Plans (in-house) · Strategic Plans (contracted) >From now until we officially launch the website <https://nrr.ninja/> at the MLA Conference in October, we simply ask that you submit “No Reservation” company contact information. If it’s for a category not on the list above, please submit under “Other” and we’ll be happy to create a new category. *Also, if you are seeking information in a category not yet on the list, we are happy to put out a request to the listservs and ask our fellow directors to submit; simply email me directly and let me know.* We have a list of “rules” on the “Submit a Recommendation” page: - Only Library Directors may submit recommendations - Library Directors submit vendors with whom they have had positive experiences - Library Directors respond to requests from other libraries seeking more detail - It is the responsibility of the Library Director seeking recommendations to fully research the vendors beyond the NRR website - Anyone can access and review NRR recommendations This project will work only if directors state-wide get behind it and submit recommendations <https://nrr.ninja/>. So please submit always and often! https://nrr.ninja Sincerely, Rebecca Higgerson *Rebecca Higgerson* Director Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1474 *ENGAGE • EDUCATE • ENRICH • EMPOWER*

The meetings begin Oct. 21 and will be held at locations around the state. The goals of the regional forums are increasing awareness about new work requirements for the Healthy Michigan Plan and preparing beneficiaries to meet the new requirements. MDHHS is implementing the new work requirements to comply with legislation approved in 2018. Beginning on Jan. 1, 2020, Healthy Michigan Plan beneficiaries will be required to report 80 hours of work or other activities, such as job searches, to MDHHS each month. Healthy Michigan Plan beneficiaries can be excused from the requirements in some circumstances. Healthy Michigan Plan beneficiaries who are not excused from the requirements and fail to report may lose their health care coverage. More than 640,000 Michiganders have coverage under the Healthy Michigan Plan, the state’s expanded Medicaid program that began in 2014. "While Gov. Whitmer has made it clear that this administration does not support the new law, MDHHS needs to do everything we can to make sure that beneficiaries are aware of these new requirements so they can maintain their health care coverage,” said Kate Massey, senior deputy director for MDHHS's Medical Services Administration. “The Healthy Michigan Plan has been a great success – providing health care coverage to many more Michiganders, reducing enrollees’ reliance on the emergency room by 58 percent, cutting uncompensated care by nearly 50 percent, and adding $2.3 billion to the state’s economy.” MDHHS will conduct forums in the following locations and will provide additional updates on locations and times soon: * Lansing: October 21, 10-11:30 a.m., Lansing Community College – West Campus, 5708 Cornerstone Drive. * Marquette: Oct. 22, 10-11:30 a.m., Upper Peninsula Health Plan, 853 W. Washington St. * St. Ignace: Oct. 22, 5-6:30 p.m., St. Ignace Public Library, 110 W. Spruce St. * Roscommon: Oct. 23, 10-11:30 a.m., Ralph A.

Grand Blvd. * Detroit Meeting No. 2: Oct. 30, 1-2:30 p. m. Cadillac Place, Conference Room L-150, 3044 W. Grand Blvd. * Flint: Oct. 31, 1:30 - 3:30 p.m., Genesee County Community Action Resource Department (GCCARD), 601 N. Saginaw St. * Saginaw: Details to be announced at a later date. * Waterford: Nov. 4, 1:30-3 p.m., Oakland Schools Conference Center, 2111 Pontiac Lake Road. * Jackson: Nov. 5, 10-11:30 a.m., Center for Family Health, 505 N.

Fulton St. * Muskegon: Nov. 6, 2-3:30 p.m., Stevenson Room, Muskegon Community College, 211 Quarterline Road. * Dearborn: Details to be announced at a later date. MDHHS is encouraging attendees to register for the forums so the department can ensure that sufficient space and printed materials are available for participants. Register and find more information about the Healthy Michigan Plan and work requirements by visiting HealthyMichiganPlan.org<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> and clicking the Changes Coming in 2020<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> tab. In addition to informing beneficiaries, the forums will help MDHHS further collaborate with community partners and navigators to better coordinate efforts to preserve health care coverage for Healthy Michigan Plan enrollees. The department has been conducting outreach to beneficiaries, providers, health plans, and other community organizations over the last year to inform stakeholders about the new requirements. MDHHS is expanding these efforts through the regional forums to prepare beneficiaries to meet the new requirements. Beneficiaries, health care providers, health plans, community organizations and the general public are invited to participate in these forums. MDHHS also has issued proposed policy to implement the new work requirements for public comment. As part of this proposed policy, MDHHS is updating its policy and operational processes related to the Section 1115 Demonstration Waiver Amendment for Michigan that was approved by the federal government. The public can submit comments on the proposed policy changes until Nov. 6. To review the policy and for instructions on how to submit comments, visit the Proposed Medicaid Changes page on the MDHHS website<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> and select the notice for Healthy Michigan Plan Updates 1926-HMP. # # # * Press Release HMP Work Requirement Community Forums.pdf<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> ________________________________ [DHHS Footer] <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> Become a foster parent through Michigan Department of Health & Human Services foster care program.<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> Questions?

Murder Mystery at the Library: Question
by Theresa Spiteri-Zaidel 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Hello, The Belleville Area District Library is contemplating on conducting a Murder Mystery Program and we were wondering if any other libraries have conducted their own murder mysteries? If so I have a couple questions: * Was the program popular? If so, what was your solution to managing its popularity? * As many murder mysteries involves food, how was food provided? By Library or Pot luck? Leftovers? * Any logistical tips or difficulties encountered? * Was there anything that you wish you would have done differently? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Theresa Spiteri-Zaidel Librarian Belleville Area District Library
