Room Reservation Software
by Devin Erlandson 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

I haven't seen this one asked recently, so here goes: If you use room reservation software would you share with me what you are using? Do you like it? Would you choose it again? How does it fare in terms of expense? We'll have 6 potential rooms available to reserve when we are done with our expansion/renovation (up from only having one!) so it's time to look at reservation software. Thanks -- Devin Erlandson, MLIS (she/her) Assistant Director Allegan District Library 269-673-4625 alleganlibrary.org

Summer Marketing
by Smiley,Trent 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

CADL is using Libraries Rock to promote SRP and other services. We are also creating promotions to help strengthen our "Everything Right Here" brand promise. Here are some examples: Summer Reading - In addition to using the national PSA, we have created local spots through our media partnerships which have generated over $15,000 worth of free advertisements. While our SRP Reporters project allows local kids and teens to share the excitement of Summer Reading through on-air and online reports. This is a partnership with the communication department in one of our large markets, which is key in getting our upcoming millage passed. Finally, we secured tickets from School of Rock: The musical and Disney's Lion King to use for SRP and other contests. SRP TV Spot: https://bit.ly/2tw1U09 SRP Radio Spot: https://bit.ly/2MWYEDI SRP Reporters: (graphic attached) Library of Things PSA: https://bit.ly/2lxN9GA Staff Editorial: https://on.lsj.com/2ts09BV Take Us Along Spot (attached) Capital Area Cover Song Contest - We are partnering with Marshall Music Stores and the Common Ground Music Festival on this cool promotion that will provide one singer or band with the opportunity to perform during the 2019 music festival. CG: https://bit.ly/2Kh1kut (Contest artwork is attached) Podcasts - As a way to connect with the Libraries Rock theme we secured an CADLcast interview with a representative from Prince's Paisley Park Museum. We are also using the interview as a way to promote our Prince titles.

Single discs
by Marian Volek 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Hello! Does anyone have a source to purchase single DVDs in a series (like The Waltons, Grey's Anatomy, etc.) We have multi-disc sets that have one disc that's wrecked, and we have to replace the whole series. Same for CD audio books. It's frustrating. I'd appreciate feedback. Thanks and have a great weekend. Marian VolekWest Iron District LibraryIron River, Michigan

Trying to identify a book
by Elizabeth Campion 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Hello. I was approached by a patron today who was looking for the first book in a fantasy series she read about ten years ago. It was a series written for adults. It was set in a medieval-like Europe. There is an Irish witch traveling with her granddaughter and a former soldier. They stop at a nobleman's lands where there are mysterious killings. Eventually they discover (spoiler) that the murderer is a werewolf. Can anyone help us out? It isn't ringing a bell and I've exhausted the usual resources. Thanks so much! Elizabeth Elizabeth Campion, Librarian Shelby Township Library 586-739-7414
