Debbie Stabenow to Discuss Flint Water Crisis at ELPL 18-126 August 31, 2018 EAST LANSING, Mich. – Community members are invited to a special event at the East Lansing Public Library (ELPL) on Thursday, Sept. 13 featuring Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, author of “What the Eyes Don’t See,” in conversation with United States Sen. Debbie Stabenow. This free event will take place from 6-8 p.m. and it is open to the public. Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha is a pediatrician, professor and public health advocate whose research helped expose the Flint Water Crisis to the world. “What the Eyes Don’t See” is the inspiring true story of how Dr. Hanna-Attisha – accompanied by an idiosyncratic team of researchers, parents, friends and community leaders – proved that children in Flint were being exposed to dangerous levels of lead – a neurotoxin that causes irreversible brain damage.

How'd your summer reading go?
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

Let me know by filling out the survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MI18SRP>, no matter your summer reading theme! It gives LM a good look how libraries around the state are doing with summer reading and what they're doing that is successful and what might not be so successful. Answer as best you can with the numbers you have and feel free to share stories. I'm extending the deadline to Friday, September 14th to be eligible for the prize drawing - a signed copy of "How to Code a Sandcastle" by Josh Funk. Details below, including a link to the additional CSLP membership survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cslp_value> on the "value of membership," that might change the direction of summer reading all together... Thanks, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

Be sure to discuss with your co-workers who is completing what section and feel free to forward to other departments (children's/teens/adults) for them to complete their portion. If you're submitting a district-wide report (in lieu of branch-by-branch), please note that in the "Name of branch" box. Please submit your responses by Friday, September 7, 2018, to be eligible for a prize drawing. Additional survey from CSLP (all public libraries in Michigan are members): The audience for this survey is public library staff. This survey is being conducted by the Statistics Committee of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Our goal is to better understand how public library staff use and value CSLP membership and materials. For the purposes of this survey, we use the phrase "summer library program" in equivalence to summer reading program or summer learning program. This survey does not concern materials and promotions provided by CSLP partner organizations, such as Demco/Upstart. The survey is open now through October 31, 2018. All public libraries in Michigan are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program, thanks to funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
