50% Savings! Bulk Order Opportunity For Belle Isle to 8 Mile: An Insider's Guide to Detroit, 2nd Edition
by Jim Flury 21 May '19

21 May '19

Good Afternoon, TLN is offering a bulk order opportunity, a 50% savings, for the just published 2nd edition of the highly popular title Belle Isle to 8 Mile: An Insider's Guide to Detroit . To quote the publisher blurb "As the most popular printed guide to Detroit, the book features nearly 1,500 Detroit attractions, sites, institutions, events, restaurants, bars, shops, and curiosities, from the essential to the obscure. Fully revised and expanded for 2019, this new edition includes 45 new illustrations, and more than 500 new entries." Etc. The list price of the book is $25.99. But you can order the book via the special TLN price of only $12.99, plus an additional TLN $1.00 per book charge to help partially offset the cost of this project. In order to take advantage of this 50% discount we absolutely have to place the bulk order to the publisher by no later than close of business on Friday, May 31, 2019. As that is the case, we must have your order by no later than close of TLN business on Friday, May 24, 2019 . There can be no exceptions to this, given the somewhat limited time frame in which we will be working to process your orders, which I am told reached a total of 177 when we offered a bulk buy opportunity for the 1st edition of this book. Again, please send your orders to me by no later than close of TLN business on Friday, May 24, 2019. Library cooperative directors, if you could please share this with member library staff who may not be subscribed to Michlib-l, I would be most appreciative. Thanks.

Iditarod Program
by Crystal Jacklovitz 21 May '19

21 May '19

Hi Everyone, We had Kim Darst from Husky Haven Kennels come to our library last night to give a presentation on her 2009 Iditarod Experience! It was a great turnout, and highly informative. She did two presentations, one for the North Dickinson Elementary (Grades K-5) and one for our Main Branch in Iron Mountain. She brings along her dog Mitch and does a great job of explaining the different sled dog techniques and answering questions. All the proceeds go to her kennel where she has 48 Sled Dogs! She is interested in doing more programs in Michigan and I highly recommend her. https://www.huskyhavenkennels.com/ choprwmn(a)yahoo.com 906-452-6014 Cabin 516-790-9183 Cell Crystal S.

PuppetART - performers
by Dave Ewick 21 May '19

21 May '19

Hello Everyone, Southfield is the new home of PuppetART, formerly located in downtown Detroit. PuppetART is partnering with the Southfield Public Library for some performances & workshops and I wanted to share their info with other libraries. They are a non-profit company that has been in operation over 20 years. They are classically trained puppeteers originally from Russia, but they present tales from around the world and do so in the most exquisite manner. They use marionettes, stick puppets, hand puppets, and even whole body puppets to tell stories like the Snow Queen, Anansi, The Crane Maiden, Turtle Island, Sleeping Beauty and The Firebird. Additionally, they do workshops for children on building puppets; and more in depth workshops for adults on creating puppets/presenting puppet shows. These guys are amazing! I highly recommend their work. I've attached two pdf files of their brochures but if you want to learn more you can also visit their website at: www.puppetart.org . Have a great Summer Reading Program! Dave David L. Ewick, MLS, MS City Librarian Southfield Public Library 26300 Evergreen Southfield, Michigan 48076 248 796-4300 dewick(a)southfieldlibrary.org P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

Discard books - the good, the bad, the ugly - the list
by Caryn Noel 20 May '19

20 May '19

Hello all - It's taken me a bit, but I've consolidated everyone's replies into a single email. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts - all responses are appreciated! - Caryn - We remove barcodes and redact ownership stamps/labels, then send them to the dumpster. - Here at Ann Arbor District Library, things that are in decent enough shape go to Better World Books. If they're not up to those standards, they go on our Friends of the Library "Free" shelves so people can take them and enrich their lives with 'em. And if they're just not salvageable, they're either used for programs (upcycling books into ornaments and other decorations) or recycled. - We sell them in our used book ???store??? or we take them to our local goodwill store. - Friends of the library book sale, church sales, AAUW book sales, Better Way Books bins (think the old Goodwill bin in the Meijer parking lot), Little Free Libraries, use for craft projects as altered books or as in _Ish_ / Peter Reynolds, your local daycare or schools may want for their crafts, local artists coop for the same reason, use as "book buddy" when gluing items in your mending pile (we've broken too many rubber bands looping and relooping but stacking book buddies and multiple bands works dandy), wrap them up and use as book props (think of spice shelves that are stepped). Of course all this depends on why you're ditching the book in the first place--mold and mildew get trashed, the tenth copy of the latest James Patterson goes to the sale, etc. - We have *lots* which makes Better World Books a good option for us. They will take care of shipping and provide boxes but only for shipments at least 40 boxes. They are a bit picky about what they accept (no outdated, no encyclopedias, good condition, etc.). Our FOL has found some other sources for us from time to time, but mostly for children's books. Even the recycling options are tenuous right now. - Delta has a large sustainability program. We have a "free" book tables located outside of the library. After the books are taken out of the catalog and de-processed, sustainability weighs them and puts them out on the free table. It's amazing what gets taken. We are getting rid of several large sets of reference books that are no longer needed or kept up to date (such as Something About the Author). I looked for takers but couldn't find any. These are not candidates for our free table, so we are going to cut the covers off and recycle the insides. Some of the sustainability student assistants take our books for workshops on book folding. Delta also has a sister college in Kenya, and I'm working on sending some of the best discards to them if I can get funding for postage. - We recently donated a couple of thousand books to St. Vincent de Paul. They came and picked it all up, didn't take long (they assured me that it wasn't even that much, they handle a LOT of donations). They're in their thrift shops, and the proceeds go to fund their charitable endeavors (shelters, soup kitchens, etc.). I think they give some out for free at shelters as well. I'm sure they end up pitching some of it, but if even a quarter found another use, it's more than I could do. - Our last resource for books that have gone through our book sales or our Little Free Library go to our recycling center. Our county jail has a work crew that handles different projects. They pick up our books, cut the covers off any hardcovers, and recycle all the paper. It's been a great program here and only the covers go in the landfill. Have a great day, one and all. Thanks for sharing all of your suggestions - Caryn [Email-Signature-Seal.jpg]<http://www.walshcollege.edu/> Caryn Noel, MLIS Library Director Walsh College Troy, Novi, Clinton Twp., Port Huron O: 248-823-1254 cnoel(a)walshcollege.edu<mailto:cnoel@walshcollege.edu> Connect on LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/in/vdevera/> | Follow on Twitter<http://www.twitter.com/walshcollege> | Like on Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/WalshCollegeOfficial>

Another OER link
by Bradley Scott 20 May '19

20 May '19

In addition to the links compiled previously under the title "OER resources draft", Madeline Wagner added a helpful link and background information: ...In 2010 the Department of Labor launched the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training grants which required as part of the project to publish materials developed on the DOL Skills Commons repository. I'm not sure what OERs you were looking for but this repository covers a lot of community college technical areas (all grants had to focus on H1B industries). http://www.skillscommons.org/hlib-l <http://mail2.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l> Bradley A. Scott, MLS Electronic Resources Librarian Mott Community College 1401 East Court Street Flint, Michigan 48503 810-762-0405
