CLASS I-III Assistant Director job description
by Perri Saunders 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

We've added a new position - assistant director (AD) I'm looking for examples of AD job descriptions to help us develop ours. We're Class II, so I'm really looking for smaller libraries to chime in. :) Also: Is your AD's name on checking/savings accounts? Does he/she possess a library credit card? I know the way I'm leaning on these other topics, but I'm looking for input to defend or refute my argument. Thanks so much, Perri -- Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N. Kalamazoo St., P.O. Box 399 White Pigeon, MI 49099 269-483-7409 *p.saunders(a)woodlands.lib.mi.us <p.saunders(a)woodlands.lib.mi.us> * *Brighten the corner where you are.*

Great Adult Programs this year
by SW Marcia Conaghan 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Hello Everyone, Here are 3 wonderful programs we hosted in 2019: 1. JACKIE & GARY This was a rip roaring success! Jackie Davidson and Gary Brandt are singer/songwriter/folk fanatics. Their program is based on "Singing the Good Old Songs" from the 60's and 70's. Their choices are mostly well known, but they expertly mix in a few long-forgotten and new numbers. Jackie was one of the original New Christie Minstrels and Gary Brandt is a seasoned balladeer who favors Gordon Lightfoot. Fun was had by all, including their mascot Golden Retriever. They live in Michigan, and you can contact them via [ http://www.jackieandgary.com,/ | http://www.jackieandgary.com, ] or [ mailto:garyshadows2@aol.com | garyshadows2(a)aol.com ] . 2. Birdwatching vs Birding with Greg Bodker A wonderful program presented by an avid birder and photographer. Greg's website has excellent information for you, but Greg is the key to this great program. He has contagious enthusiasm for his subject, and can advise from simple birdfeeding tips to more advanced identifications, habitats, and migrations. He loves his topic and is caring about the bird watchers as well. This was a welcome spring time event. Find Greg's photos at [ http://www.backyardbirdsandbeyond.com/ | www.backyardbirdsandbeyond.com. ] or directly at [ mailto:backyardbirdsandbeyond@gmail.com | backyardbirdsandbeyond(a)gmail.com ] . 3. Storyteller's Night Sky An amazing look at sky maps make it easier to "see" the actual night sky! Plus lovely lessons on how the stars were named! Mary Stewart Adams, a global authority, travels far and wide teaching her humanities based approach to understanding our celestial world, by combining her extensive knowledge of ancient astrology with contemporary research. Our audience loved it, but it's a great children's event, too. Contact Mary at [ http://www.storytellersnightsky.org/ | www.storytellersnightsky.org ] .

A note from the Historical Society of Michigan
by HSM Main 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Dear Friend of HSM, Did you know that we run historical motor coach tours? The Michiganders on the RoadT motor coach tour program was developed by HSM to allow Michiganders to experience the culture and heritage of all 50 states with a group of like-minded history enthusiasts. Each tour is handcrafted by me, HSM's director of education, and includes one-of-a-kind itineraries featuring historical stops, museums, local attractions, nightly dining experiences in local restaurants, and comfortable accommodations at modern chain hotels. One of our upcoming tours is a trip to Missouri and Kansas from October 5 to 13. Are you interested in exploring an area rich with vast scenes of natural beauty, culture, and fascinating history? Would you like to see what all the fuss is about? Are you looking to experience local history around the United States, where all the details are handled for you? Join us as we enjoy some of the sites that American pioneers encountered on their travels west-including the Cahokia Mounds, the Old Cowtown and National Frontier Trails Museums, the Bingham-Waggoner Estate historic home, Fort Larned National Historic Site, the Great Plains Nature Center, the homes of U.S. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower, the National WWI Museum, the Arabia Steamboat Museum, and more. Take a look at some of the sites we'll be visiting in the pictures below! National Frontier Trails Museum Sales-Munger House in Cowtown, Kansas A dining car in the Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad - where we'll be having dinner! The Celebration Belle - where we'll enjoy a riverboat cruise! This 9-day, 8-night tour from October 5 to 13 is a fantastic package deal with all dinners, breakfasts, accommodations, entrance fees, and transportation included for $1,995 per person. The registration deadline for this tour is August 31, 2019. Walk through our 9-days on the road with the itinerary attached to this e-mail, or learn more <http://hsmichigan.org/programs/michiganders-on-the-road/gateway-west-tour/> on our website. I hope you'll consider joining us this October. Our Michiganders on the Road program is a great way to experience American history, meet new friends, and engage with HSM. Check out this kind note sent to me from one of the tour participants on our Charleston trip earlier this year: "Just wanted you to know that Steve and I thoroughly enjoyed the Charleston trip. We especially appreciated that it was organized, and that we knew where to be when. The group of travelers was friendly and fun to meet. We were impressed with the knowledge of the docents at various sites, the variety of places we visited, the different dinner restaurants, and with all the planning you did to make the trip go smoothly. The trivia games and Tim with his ties both were a nice touch. We are glad we could meet you in person, and Candace as well. Hopefully, we'll have the opportunity to travel with Michiganders on the Road in the future. . Thanks for putting together such a great trip!" For more information, please call or e-mail me at (517) 324-1828 or myers(a)hsmichigan.org. We can't wait to have you join us!

Greetings! The 2020 Census is around the proverbial corner and Michigan Libraries (as well as those that govern and support them!) have a MAJOR STAKE in ensuring an accurate population count since some of the primary funding sources for Public Libraries in Michigan rely on some form of population or census data to calculate payments. In addition, the demographic data that emanates from Census numbers is used by some State and Federal agencies and organizations to determine program and grant eligibility. Even corporations use this data in considering where to locate new offices or facilities. Accurate Census data can have big impacts on many aspects of a community - especially the public library (which is not only directly affected by the data, but is also often the gateway to the community ABOUT the data and its uses for business, jobs, social programs, etc.). United for Libraries (the division of ALA devoted to Library Trustees and Friends) is conducting a webinar on the Census that is aimed specifically at Public Library Trustees and Friends groups. Michigan's Statewide membership (sponsored by the Library of Michigan using funds from the Institute for Library & Museum Services (ILMS) & The Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA)) enables FREE ACCESS to this Webinar for ALL Michigan Libraries, Trustees and Friends Groups.
