Join Programming Librarian for this free one-hour webinar to learn how to forge community partnerships in a small community and host exceptional library programs on a tiny budget. Description Meservey, Iowa, is tiny - fewer than 250 residents - and the library's budget is tight. Despite this, the Meservey Public Library has managed to triple its program attendance in the past few years and create many memorable, budget-friendly events. Drawing on her experience as director of the Meservey Public Library, Chelsea Price will share ideas for hosting "big" programs on a small budget and discuss how partnerships can be an invaluable resource for programming. Participants of this session will: * Discover new programming ideas * Learn how to build partnerships with community members to help the library thrive as the "hub" of the tow * Explore ways to trim your programming budget and save money * Presenters Chelsea Price is the director at the Meservey Public Library in Iowa (population 220). Chelsea's favorite part of her job is programming and working with the community to help Meservey thrive and grow. Since she started as director in 2015, program attendance numbers have more than tripled, and she hopes they will continue to increase. When not at the library, she loves pet sitting and volunteering at various animal shelters around the state. Chelsea especially loves senior dogs. Her and her husband have four senior, special-needs rescue dogs of their own.

ALA Policy Corps application process is open and we are looking for new members (Deadline November 16th)
by Lance Werner 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Greetings Michigan Library Family! I hope you all are having a wonderful fall! Last year ALA President Jim Neal created a new committee call the Policy Corps to take a deep dive on congressional policy issues such as federal funding, network neutrality, and broadband access. We are looking at adding new members to the original nation-wide cohort of 12 (which includes our very own Larry Neal and myself). It is certainly a worthwhile endeavor and we don't have any applicants from Michigan. I encourage you to apply if you have an interest in being more involved with policy making at the national level. The application is open through Friday: http://www.ala.org/advocacy/ala-policy-corps-application<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http%3a%2f%2fwww.ala.org%2fadvocacy%2…>. Please be quick with your applications as the deadline is November 16th. It is certainly a worthwhile endeavor and Larry and I would love another colleague from our incredible state. Thank you for your consideration!
