Secretary of State request for help regarding REAL ID
by Simlar, Cathleen (MDOS) 09 Aug '19

09 Aug '19

Hi, everyone. We're hoping you can help us share the following messages on REAL ID with the public through your own communication channels. I've also attached some images you can use and a flyer to post. As you may know, the REAL ID deadline is almost a year away (Oct. 1, 2020) and if you don't have a REAL ID document, like a passport, Enhanced Driver's License or standard license turned into a REAL ID, you won't be allowed to board domestic fights. Between now and the Oct. 1, 2020, I will be sending you occasional messages about REAL ID that I hope you'll share. As always, thanks so much for your help. For newsletters, websites, email blasts REAL ID may affect you, especially if you travel by air On Oct. 1, 2020, the federally mandated REAL ID law goes into effect, and if you travel by air, this law will impact you. REAL ID is the post-9/11 federal requirement that sets higher security standards for identification. Once in effect, a REAL ID will be required to board any U.S. flight or to enter some federal facilities. A REAL ID can be a U.S. Passport or an Enhanced Driver's License - or you can turn your standard driver's license into a REAL ID at the Secretary of State's office. Learn more about the law and what documents you need to bring to get a REAL ID at Michigan.gov/REALID. For social media Option 1 Starting Oct. 1, 2020, you'll need a REAL ID-compliant document to fly in the U.S. and enter some federal facilities per federal law. You can obtain a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or state ID from the Michigan Secretary of State's Office. Learn more at Michigan.gov/REALID Option 2 Have you heard about the REAL ID that will be required for flying in the U.S. starting Oct. 1, 2020?

ALA News for August 6 - Public Library Association condemns Macmillan Publishers library lending model
by Jennifer L. Dean 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

Hi, all - Pretty short ALA news this week...makes up for the long post I sent last week! 😃 Hope everyone is well and enjoying these lovely summer days! Thank you to all for all you do. Jennifer MLA Board of Directors and ALA Councilor ALA News, August 6, 2019: Public Library Association condemns Macmillan Publishers library lending model Public Library Association condemns Macmillan Publishers library lending model <http://bit.ly/2TenfaL>The Public Library Association (PLA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), has joined its parent organization in denouncing Macmillan Publishers’ new library eBook lending model. Under the new model, scheduled to take effect Nov. 1, a library may purchase only a single copy of each new title in eBook format upon release, after which Macmillan will impose an eight-week embargo on additional copies of that title sold to libraries. “We have grave concerns about Macmillan Publishers’ recent announcement, which we view as further evidence of a troubling trend in the publishing industry,” stated PLA President Ramiro S. Salazar, library director, San Antonio (Texas) Public Library. “PLA firmly objects to Macmillan’s policy, which will undermine the ability of public libraries to serve our communities. Macmillan is the sole major publisher to impose such an embargo on library eBook lending.” Read more<http://bit.ly/2TenfaL> AWARDS AND GRANTS Freedom to Read Foundation announces five recipients of 2019 Banned Books Week event grants<http://bit.ly/2TbMVoI> Freedom to Read Foundation reveals Fall 2019 Course Scholarship recipients<http://bit.ly/2TbOxyx> Ruth Mahaffy awarded 2019 LITA/Christian Larew Memorial Scholarship <http://bit.ly/33hk0Ec> Jennifer L.
