Mental Health training
by Hamlin,Jolee 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

Hi there - We have had some staff attend the Mental Health First Aid training through our local community mental health department. It has been useful training both for our library, public work environment and somewhat informational to overall well-being too. At the same time, it is not optimally as specific to public library work, or as flexible as we may like it. For example, some folks would be interested in an internal option that's is abbreviated....perhaps a couple hours or half a day....and this is not an option with the Mental Health First Aid training. Has anyone worked with an organization or individual who has expertise is this area, and was well received? Thanks for any feedback.

Mailbox for book return?
by Helena Hayes 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

Good afternoon. We are considering using a "Curbside Courier" or Mail "Collection Box" (similar to UPS or FedEx collection boxes) for our external book return. If you have done the same (either considered or used), I would like to hear your experiences... pros / cons, vendors, etc. Our current book return drops into our building - no fireproofing or separation from the main building (also no weatherproofing, which means I freeze on days like today). Off-list replies are appreciated. Thanks in advance for your wisdom! Helena P.S. - This is what we're considering... http://www.globalindustrial.com/g/storage/mailboxes/mail_parcel_drop_boxes/a luminum-curbside-collection-boxes Helena Hayes, MLIS, Director Galesburg-Charleston Memorial District Library 188 E.

I have a few awesome Blu-rays up for grabs. Both may need repackaging in order to put into your collection. Strangers Things, Season 1. (the set came with 2 DVDs and 2 Blu-Rays. We don't carry Blu-Rays, so you'll get the original packaging but it will be missing the 2 DVDs.) Boyhood. (again, it came with both DVD and Blu-Ray in its package. I only had to replace the DVD, so it's a package of 2, missing the 1 DVD). Please include your Rides code if interested. Mary Beauchamp Adult Services Petoskey District Library 231.758.3114
