Great Speaker on Holocaust
by Kimberly Schaaf 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hi All, We had a great speaker on the topic of the Holocaust recently whom I'd like to recommend to any library interested in that topic. Irene Miller, an author who lives in southeast Michigan, wrote a book called "Into No Man's Land" detailing her and her family's experience escaping Poland during the Holocaust. She was extremely engaging, educational and inspiring. We had a record amount of people attend and every single one of them was very moved by her story. Her contact information is on her website: http://www.irenemillerspeaker.com/ Thank you, Kimberly Schaaf Librarian Springfield Twp. Library 12000 Davisburg Rd. Davisburg MI, 48350 248-846-6550

SURVEY CLOSES TOMORROW! National Survey: Value of CSLP Membership and Materials
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

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. Value of CSLP Membership and Materials https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cslp_value<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsecure-web…> We would love to have 100% state member participation in this very important survey. It takes just 10 - 15 minutes to complete the survey. Please consider sending the link and encouragement to take the survey to your libraries. The CSLP Statistics Committee will be meeting to review preliminary results next month and look forward to sharing the final results in early 2019. Thank you all again for your time and consideration. It is greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Elaine [https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/6kkS5gqzycSftOiEapjyafixrAyI2rvlFMlnWdzaN…] E.B.
