Summer Library Program Manuals are out!
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

CSLP's 2020 "Imagine Your Story"<https://www.cslpreads.org/> manuals are now available online for member libraries to access. Membership is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and includes all the public libraries here in Michigan. All public library directors received an email this morning (via mi(a)countingopininons.com) on how to access the online manuals, so please see your director for details on accessing the manual. Later this week physical mailings with the directions on how to access your manual and the 2020 Catalog (available online) will also go out to all public libraries. Reminder: please designate 1 staff person to access the manual code for your building. Once you have the code, you can download the manual to your library network drive, save to a thumb drive, and/or print to share with staff. Manuals can be downloaded in sections or as a full manual all at once. Art work is in the process of being made into "Zip Collections." This should be in the next 24 hours. (These are the collections of images that make it easier for libraries to download the art in batches). Please note the wonderful new layout! (pictured below) CSLP has put a lot of hard work and effort into creating an engaging and usable manual to support summer library programming! #ImagineYourStory #LibrariesImagine Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

Magnifier machine free for pickup
by Janelle Martin 07 Oct '19

Hello, We have a Panasonic Freedom Machine that has not been used in a few years and is taking up precious space. It is used to view enlarged versions of newspaper, magazines and other print material. It has two parts to it; the tv monitor and the viewing platform. It is free to the first library willing to pick it up. I wanted to see if anyone was interested in it before we try to recycle it. See the pictures below. The table and stool are not included. 😀 Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Janelle Janelle Martin Head of Fiction Marguerite deAngeli Library Lapeer District Library 921 W.
