New MAP Partner Destination: A Biggie!
by Jim Flury 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Good Morning, In my most recent email to announce the addition of two new MAP partner destinations I alluded to the possibility of a third new venue, which I described as a "biggie." We had been talking to this "biggie" about a MAP partnership since February. Yesterday I did a road trip to White Pine Library Cooperative in Saginaw (thank you to new WPLC cooperative director Kate and her staff as well as to WPLC member library staff for their hospitality) to present and answer questions about the Michigan Activity Pass as well as another TLN statewide service, the RBdigital Magazines program. When I returned to the office this morning I was very gratified to open my email and see a confirmation from the "biggie" we had been pursuing for MAP for the past six months. Our newest MAP partner venue is Peppa Pig World of Play Michigan [ https://www.peppapigworldofplay.com/michigan/en/ | https://www.peppapigworldofplay.com/michigan/en/ ] at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in Auburn Hills. We believe this will prove to be a very popular destination for your MAP patrons. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim F. Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100, ext 133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us

Closing for an outside activity
by Kat Boyer 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any of you have closed part of your library to attend an outside community activity. Our library is two floors (Adult Department main floor, Children's Department second floor), and there are some community activities I'd really like us to be a part of, but some of them might require all the Children's Department staff we have. I was wondering if other libraries have done anything similar. Kat Boyer Director Benton Harbor Public Library 213 E Wall St. Benton Harbor, MI 49022
