Policy regarding public displays
by Don Priest 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hi all, back with another question. Some of you might remember that, when I asked about religion in the libraries recently, I also mentioned an objection to our Pride Month display. Well, that wasn't the end of it, apparently, and we may need to update our policy to cover what can and cannot be displayed in the library. So, I'm hoping to get some input on what other libraries may have in their policies that cover this. I will, of course, compile responses, but as before, if you would like your comments to remain private, please tell me so, and I will leave them out. Thanks! Don Priest Southgate Veterans Memorial Library 14680 Dix-Toledo Rd. Southgate, MI 48195 734-258-3002 ext. 3003

This is a great honor for our state, and will be an excellent opportunity to showcase the humanities work being done here, as well as the rebirth of Detroit. We are engaged with the Federation of State Humanities Councils to plan the events surrounding the conference, and will be adding on additional opportunities for the conference attendees to visit other locations in Michigan. The announcement can be found here<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Jy0cNM-5XekR2RF9WPfolZw4nGynOZLvRVBYK1APPFuc…>. Our Board of Directors meets this week to finalize our strategic plan at a retreat in Kalamazoo. The discussion includes a detailed report on program recommendations developed by staff members based on site visits, a survey, program evaluations, historical context, and the five year assessment conducted by the National Endowment for the Humanities. We plan to release exciting future plans in October. We hope that you enjoy this last month of Michigan’s beautiful summer. Staff members have traveled across Michigan seeing the incredible work of our valued partners and grantees, from the far reaches of the Upper Peninsula to the southern regions, including small towns and larger city projects. Thank you for making humanities come alive for all Michigan’s people. Shelly Kasprzycki President and CEO [https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/galileo/images/templates/Galileo-Templat…] [NEH logo horizontal] Update from Washington D.C. Michigan Humanities is supported by your donations, corporate support, grants, and funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) through the Federal/State Partnership. Each year, the Senate and Congress vote to fund the NEH and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). This summer, for the first time in many years, both the House and the Senate have passed the FY 2019 Interior Appropriations bill before August recess. This is the bill that includes funding for the NEH and NEA. We are thankful to our representatives in both the House and the Senate from Michigan, with 80% voting to support funding. We appreciate their confidence and support that our funding is used to make Michigan a better place to work and live. A House/Senate conference must take place before the bill can be finalized, but no further action will take place until September. If you see our representatives during their end of summer recess, please thank them for supporting the NEH/NEA funding, and in turn, supporting Michigan Humanities. Your input means so much to all of us! Thank you. If you have any questions, or would like to become involved in our advocacy efforts throughout the year, please contact Carol Taggart<mailto:ctaggart@mihumanities.org>, Communications/Development Officer.
