Getting Unstuck: Help Your Board, Staff, and Town Talk about Library Funding - Webinar, August 22 at 3pm Eastern
by White, Shannon (MDE) 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Join us for a free webinar: Getting Unstuck: Help Your Board, Staff, and Town Talk about Library Funding Wednesday, August 22, 3:00 ET Library leaders have been trained to "do more with less" for so long that it's become a virtue. Though talking about budgets is a challenge, library staff need better funding to provide the public with needed services and expertise. If your budget is stuck, and your board, staff and stakeholders are having a hard time talking about new taxes or levies, this webinar can help. Please join us for real-world, practical, actionable advice on how to overcome local political problems, negative feelings, and unmotivated stakeholders, to move your library toward a more financially secure future. This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries and EveryLibrary. Presented by: John Chrastka, Executive Director, EveryLibrary; Lee Hallberg, Executive Director, Mancos Public Library, CO; and James Ochsner, Director of Library Services, Sutter County Library, CA Register here to attend https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/getting-unstuck-library-fund… A recording will be available on WebJunction after the session. WebJunction is supported by the Federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) via the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the Library of Michigan, part of the Michigan Department of Education.

Outdoor Art for Libraries
by Jacalynn Harvey (Roseville Public Library) 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Good morning, Our library's south entrance is undergoing a small renovation and we would like to purchase a piece of outdoor artwork to highlight the new canopy and landscaping. We are a medium sized library and do not have a large budget, so we are not looking for a large piece. I've seen the bronze pieces of children sitting on benches reading books and, while they are attractive, we are looking for something a bit more contemporary and colorful. Please contact me if you have suggestions of art dealers or specific artists. Regards, Jacalynn Harvey Director Roseville Public Library 29777 Gratiot Avenue Roseville, MI 48066 586-445-5407 586-445-5499 FAX [1506967672552_PastedImage] www.rosevillelibrary.org www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI<http://www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI> https://twitter.com/rsvlibrary https://www.instagram.com/rsvlibrary/ <http://www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI> <http://www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI>
