Hygiene supplies
by Rebecca Higgerson 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

I wanted to share a small success story with everyone. A few months ago we were trying to come up with a solution to combat the smell in our small teen space and we thought that perhaps our young patrons could benefit from selected hygiene products. One of our employees contacted our local food pantry (OCEF) to see if they might be able to help and they gave us a number of gift cards to purchase supplies. We put the items in a basket along with some plastic bags for privacy and our teens have responded really well to the free items. On top of that, we just had one of our 5k sponsors, local dentist Dr. Tahaney, provide us with 24 toothbrushes and toothpaste. We love how our community has worked together to solve a problem that many of our libraries face. So, has it helped with the smell in the teen room?? We are happy to report that it has!! Win-win for all of us. :) Thanks, Rebecca Higgerson Director Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1474 ENGAGE . EDUCATE . ENRICH . EMPOWER

Tattoo Presenters-- Responses
by Melissa Adkins 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Hello All, So after asking for help with tattoo presenters, I received a number of requests asking me to compile responses and send them on. Unfortunately, there was only one response, which I've included below. It seems there is a lot of interest in putting on such a program but none of us are quite sure how to do so! I've reached out to some local contacts but haven't heard much. If I put something together myself I will be sure to send it out to the list. I planned a tattoo program. I used the Oakland County health department, who offered a safe tattoo and piercing educational class. I also had a a student come in who was going to school to be a tattoo artist from College for Creative Studies. I began the program with a quick history of tattoos and the art aspect, leading with the health and safety, and ended with the artist discussing his passion, experience, and a few stories. It was a summer program and we had small numbers, but no less that any other summer program. Good luck with yours! Thanks, -- Melissa Adkins Adult Services Librarian Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Road Romulus, MI 48174 (734) 955- 4518 Serving Romulus and Huron Township Residents "You want weapons?
