SRP18 Survey
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Please take a few minutes to complete the SRP annual survey for the Library of Michigan, no matter your theme or participation in CSLP; it provides us with valuable feedback: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MI18SRP Adult program, Teens & Children's stats are all covered in this 1 survey, but you do not need to complete all 3 age groups, just the one(s) you coordinate. 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. Value of CSLP Membership and Materials survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cslp_value This project is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Free Online Mini-Conference: Social Crisis Management in a 21st Century World
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

Greetings! Check out SJSU's 3rd Library 2.018 mini-conference: Social Crisis Management in a 21st Century World (Wednesday, October 17 from 3:00-6:00PM Eastern. Our human condition has changed dramatically and has implications for libraries of all types on a global scale. Food insecurity and hunger, housing policies and homelessness, violence, mental health service needs, social, economic, educational and racial equity, substance abuse and drug overdose - all of these and many more challenges impact the people who frequent our libraries - as customers, students, faculty, and staff. Operational decisions continue to be influenced by social concerns. Join us for a series of conversations on how libraries have developed, responded, and championed programs and services to address some of these social crises and learn about outcomes. What's the new normal for libraries in this world of social and economic disparity? Has it altered or enhanced our core mission? We invite all library professionals, employers, LIS students, and educators to participate in this event. For more information, or to register, visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/library-2018-social-crisis-management-in-a-21s…. Evette M.
