Community Service Workers

Does anyone have policies on community service workers from the courts? I have been pretty open on using them all along, but todayI have some questions on it and probably need a policy to fall back on. I do enjoy them working for me since I don't have to pay them and the penal fines keep going down, recuperation in "free" work. Reply to me off list please.

Program Recommendation!
by Elizabeth Appleton 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to recommend a program we had last week at our library - Larry Martin's World War II In their Own Words. Larry has spent over 20 years interviewing and recording the personal histories of veterans. He also travels to libraries to present the interviews and discuss how he started preserving oral history. When planning for the event, Larry was very professional and happy to answer all of my questions. And in front of an audience, he is very engaging and works to bring history alive to some of the younger attendees to the program. His website is: https://lmww2.com/ If you have any questions, please let me know. Kind regards, Elizabeth Appleton Technical Services Supervisor St. Joseph Public Library 500 Market Street St. Joseph MI 49085 (269) 983-7167
