Free Smart Board
by Jonesville District Library 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

I have a smart board to give away. This was in used condition when my library got it and it was working at the time it went into storage over a year ago. It has not been used since, so I am not sure if it is still working. There is one corner that is loose but as far as I know everything is there. Dimensions of smart board are 5 ft. wide by 4 ft. tall (7 ft including stand). You would need to arrange for transport. If interested, contact Laura at jonesville(a)monroe.lib.mi.us or call 517-849-9701. Thank you, -Laura Orlowski, director Jonesville District Library 517-849-9701 jonesville(a)monroe.lib.mi.us

Meet a Muslim program
by Melissa Malcolm 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Hi all-- We're really pleased to be offering this program with Imam Shamshad A. Nasir, the regional missionary of Midwest US for the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Lapeer is not exactly a diverse community and so giving people the opportunity to learn from this man in our meeting room is a huge benefit to the community, I believe. Alas, others in Lapeer do not share my view. I've talked to Erin at Caro, where the Imam spoke last year, and am asking others to let me know if you've had him speak. I just want to have information about how many libraries he's visited. I hope that some of them are small and rural, as Lapeer is. Thanks so much. melissa -- Melissa A. Malcolm Library Director Lapeer District Library 201 Village West Dr S Lapeer, MI 48446 melissa(a)lib.lapeer.org www.library.lapeer.org 810.664.9521 <callto:810.664.9521> ext. 3113 "If liberty and justice mean anything, then access means everything." -- Charles Ogletree

Best Practices Guidelines for Michlib-l
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Greetings Michigan Library Community, This is a best practices update for posting to Michlib-l. We welcome your participation on Michlib-l. There are a few guidelines that help improve the experience for everyone: 1. If you ask for group input on a topic, offer to collect the responses and then re-post them to the list so everyone can benefit. Be sure to embed those responses in the body of your message. 2. Please keep in mind when composing your messages that attachments are removed from posts for digest subscribers and in the archives. For maximum reach, embed the text you wish readers to see in the body of your message. If an attachment is especially important for its images, formatting or other reasons, upload it to your website and then link to it in your message to Michlib-l. 3. Do not post replies that are meant for one person to the entire list. You can accomplish this by using the "Reply" feature and not "Reply All." And, of course, a little patience goes a long way. We've all accidentally posted something to a list that was only meant for one person so gentleness with each other is helpful as well. Have a fabulous day in Library Land, Sonya Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan Michigan Department of Education 517-335-1498 Norriss2(a)michigan.gov<mailto:Norriss2@michigan.gov> https://michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan https://mel.org http://michlibrary.org<http://michlibrary.org/>

Re: [Michlib-l] Reference Practices
by King, Barb 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

The reference librarians at the St. Clair County Library in Port Huron have been asked to develop a new reference practice plan for our library system. How is reference service delivered in your library system? We are interested in such things as staffing, hours , and physical location of public service desks. At this time the reference librarians here are all located in the basement of the library and are on call. Do you have professional librarians doing reference? How many hours per week? Is there a separate reference desk or a combined public service station? How is reference service delivered at your branch libraries as opposed to service at the main library? Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Yours truly, Barbara King Reference Services Senior Librarian St. Clair County Library Port Huron MI 48060 (810) 987-7323 ext. 2520
