FREE WEBINAR 6/11 WebJunction Webinar: Getting to the Heart of the Community Through Discovery
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 06 Jun '19

06 Jun '19

Check out this free webinar offered by WebJunction! *Getting to the Heart of the Community Through Discovery* Tuesday, June 11, 3:00 ET / 12:00 PT Community discovery is a process of forging vital and ongoing connection between the library and its community members. The more people are involved in planning and programming, the more they are invested in the success of the library. While many libraries collect community input primarily through surveys, there are other, more interactive and interpersonal tools that can uncover the heart and aspirations of the community. Explore tools and strategies that start meaningful conversations and foster collaborative engagement on everything from strategic and space planning to programming. Learn how you can join your library and your community at the heart. Presented by: Betha Gutsche, WebJunction Programs Manager, OCLC For more information or to register, visit https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/community-through-discovery.… WebJunction is brought to you free of charge by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Library of Michigan.

Stipends
by Amber Alexander 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Do any of the libraries offer travel stipends to program presenters? Or gas cards? As the district, we try to do this; however, various branches have either had the Friends offer a gas card, or the Friends think all programs should be free, that there should be no incentive to the program presenter. I would like to see us be more consistent with what we offer, but also financially manageable for each of the Friends groups and/or library. Also, we were thinking of a stipend price for in-district presenters vs. out-of-district presenters. These would be programs where someone, maybe local, comes in and talks about bees, or quilting, etc. Not the BIG programs where a fee is negotiated up front in scheduling the presenter that around $350 or more. Open to discussion and seeing what other libraries/friends do. Amber Alexander,MLIS Library Director Presque Isle District Library 181 E.
