program idea
by Christine Nofsinger 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

To Whom It May Concern, My name is Mike Ureche and I am the recruiting specialist at Bethany Christian Services. I am a newer face at Bethany, but have been working with our refugee and immigrant neighbors for over 6 years in various capacities such as ESL director, citizenship class director, and now in the field of community engagement and recruitment through Bethany. There is nothing that excites me more than helping equip and encourage our communities to better love, serve, and welcome our newcomer neighbors. Since my time at Bethany I have had the opportunity to process new refugee foster families, train new volunteers and refugee mentors, and reunite a child to her mother. I would love to come share some of my experiences and encourage your community to take advantage of the unique opportunities to serve their refugee neighbors through Bethany's many programs. With more than 65+ million displaced individuals in today's refugee crisis, there is a place for every community and every family to serve. I am extremely thankful for service libraries provide in our communities. In fact, it was thanks to Chris Nofsinger at the Marcellus Township Library that I received my new position at Bethany! My wife and I attended a presentation about refugees at our local library in Marcellus where a Bethany speaker was present. After a great conversation with the speaker, I found myself in the employment process for a position at Bethany and now get the privilege to do much of the speaking! Feel free to reach out to me for any further questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you.

Collection development for new Homebound Service
by Michael Howey 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Hello Everybody, The Royal Oak Public Library is going to starting a Homebound program in the near future. We will be mailing out books, only books for now, to patrons with mobility issues. For those libraries with Homebound services, I am curious what areas of your collection seemed to get checked out more by those using the service? I am trying to get an idea on what should be purchased more in anticipation on this new service. Thank you for the help! -- Mick Howey Adult Services & Outreach Librarian Ph. 248.246.3724 Royal Oak Public <https://www.google.com/maps/place/222+W+Eleven+Mile+Rd,+Royal+Oak,+MI+48067…> Library <https://www.google.com/maps/place/222+W+Eleven+Mile+Rd,+Royal+Oak,+MI+48067…> 222 East 11 Mile Road <https://www.google.com/maps/place/222+W+Eleven+Mile+Rd,+Royal+Oak,+MI+48067…> Royal Oak, Mi 48067 <https://www.google.com/maps/place/222+W+Eleven+Mile+Rd,+Royal+Oak,+MI+48067…> michaelh(a)ropl.org ReThink RO <https://www.romi.gov/1231/Rethink-RO>

Privacy with donations
by Linda Lyshol 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Good Monday morning! (I know--what an oxymoron, right?!) Anyway, does any library keep a record of donations, most specifically, who donated and for whom? I need to create a policy for receiving cash donations in memory of a deceased person. But, I'm pretty sure it is breaking privacy law but not 100% sure, so I thought I'd poll the masterminds on here to see what y'all do. Oh, and if you have a policy, will you send it along? Thanks! OK, now go have another cup of coffee/tea because I am going to as well. Linda Lyshol, MLIS, MPA Library Director, Branch District Library 10 E.
