Computer passes
by Jillian Baker 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

I am interested in finding out how other libraries handle computer passes for the public. When people come in wanting to use a computer and they don't have a library card, do you ask them to show their photo ID before giving them a guest pass? Do you record their name and their guest pass number? If other libraries are interested, I can compile the replies and email them to Michlib-l. Thank you, Jillian Baker Head of Adult Services, Main Library Farmington Community Library Jillian.Baker(a)FarmLib.org 248-848-4312

FREE Mega Blocks
by Perri Saunders 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

We had a large donation of Mega Blocks and would like to pass them on to another library. Mega Blocks are Lego-like blocks, but don't always fit with Legos. If you want to start a Lego Club but don't have the budget, this may be the way to start - a Mega Club! If interested, send me your RIDES code. Just FYI - The blocks will fill about 12 shoe boxes. -- Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N. Kalamazoo St., P.O.

Puppet cleaning services
by Emily Ellison 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Hello Everyone, We are looking into getting our circulating puppets cleaned regularly. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who has a circulating puppet collection or puppets/stuffed animals that the public may use when visiting the library would mind providing input. Do you send your puppets to the dry cleaners, use a laundry mat or a professional service? If you use a professional service what is the general cost? How do you handle the tags? All of ours have a tag that would need to be removed before washing. I would appreciate any input that your fantastic minds can provide! Thank you so much, Emily Ellison Emily Ellison Youth Services Librarian Orion Township Public Library 825 Joslyn Road Lake Orion, MI 48362 (248) 693-3000 x 423 eellison(a)orionlibrary.org

ALA News for August 21, 2018 NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION ALA Council rescinds Meeting Rooms: An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights The American Library Association (ALA) has announced the outcome of a vote by ALA Council to rescind 2018 updates to the Meeting Rooms: An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights. The vote comes after a swift response from ALA members, leadership, its offices and library advocates to address concerns regarding the use of the term hate groups. The motion to rescind the 2018 version was approved. Ninety of the 179 councilors were required to vote. Seventy-five percent of those voting were needed to approve the measure. A total of 146 voted on this question, representing 82 percent of the eligible voters. 140 voted to rescind, and 4 voted not to rescind. The 2018 Meeting Room interpretation has been removed from ALA.org. The Library Bill of Rights will revert to the 1991 version of the Meeting Rooms interpretation, which was in effect until Annual 2018. “I would like to express my gratitude to ALA members and staff for their collaboration and feedback as we work to respond to language found within updates to the Library Bill of Rights,” said ALA President Loida Garcia-Febo. “The ALA continues to strive to provide resources that support Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and intellectual freedom. We can only do so when all of our voices are heard. Today’s vote does not end conversations regarding the interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights, but rather continues our exploration regarding how we can support the profession’s needs.” http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/08/ala-council-rescinds-meeting… Free virtual event with MARCH graphic novel creators offered as part of ALA’s Great Stories Club The American Library Association (ALA) invites library professionals and their patrons to a free virtual event with Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell, co-author and illustrator of the acclaimed graphic novel series March.
