Alpena millage passes; capital project to follow
by Eric Magness-Eubank 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

On Tuesday, August 6, the Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library passed a 20-year renewal of a 0.25 mill levy in order to finance a renovation of the Library facility. The unofficial results showed 2,284 for the millage and 938 against. We are thrilled that almost 71% of the voters approved of extending the millage out for 20 years. The ACGNFPL is expecting to launch a $3.7 million renovation of its 1973 facility in February 2021. We have been working with the firm Quinn Evans Architects since 2016. In 2017, an initial 2-phase project was stalled by the discovery of a significant quantity of asbestos material on the ceilings, which ultimately meant that the project couldn't be phased. The great news is that it passed; the bad news is now we have a lot of work in front of us. J Eric Magness-Eubank Library Director Alpena County George N.

Programming Policies
by Anna Merritt 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

Hello All, We are looking at putting together a policy for our programming. Do any other libraries have this? Specifically, should the library pay staff presenters a presentation fee or just their regular hourly rate? What if the staff presenter is the one organizing the programs? Do you cover materials for external presenters or just include the materials cost in their fee? Do you charge patrons for programs like crafts? Do you have more luck with registration or open doors? If anyone has some advice or feedback, please send it our way. 😊 Thanks! Anna Merritt Assistant Director Richland Community Library 8951 Park Street Richland, MI 49083 (269) 629-9085 https://www.richlandlibrary.org/ -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A.
