23 Jan '18

Hello, Baldwin Public Library (Birmingham, MI) has six wooden carts free to a good home. They vary slightly in size but are on average 30" long, 14" deep, 35" tall. All are older but still in good condition and definitely functional. Due to their size and weight these are available for pick up only. Please email me off list to claim one or more, responses will be honored in the order they are received. If no one has responded by Wednesday next week (Jan 31) they will be scrapped. A picture of one of the carts is attached, and is also available at the following URL if the attachment does not work for you: https://www.baldwinlib.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/WoodenCart.jpg -- Josh ____________________ Josh Rouan Technical Services Coordinator Baldwin Public Library 300 W.

Dear Colleagues: The ALA LLAMA (Library Leadership & Management Association) Mentoring Committee is recruiting for both mentors and mentees for our July 2018-June 2019 year. The LLAMA Mentoring Program, http://www.ala.org/llama/llama-mentoring-program, pairs librarians who are currently in leadership positions with librarians who are interested in becoming leaders. To apply to become a mentor, go to: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DL56WCQ To apply to become a mentee, go to: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DVTT3F6 For mentors, it is a chance to pass on your experience and knowledge by working one-on-one with an enthusiastic colleague who is ready to learn and benefit from your experience. For mentees, it is a great opportunity to learn from an accomplished leader how to: Explore your leadership potential; Demonstrate leadership in your current position; Acquire the skills, attitudes, and relationships that you will need to move into leadership roles. Participants must be ALA and LLAMA members at the start of the program, and must either attend the Mentor/Mentee orientation at ALA Annual or be able to participate in a virtual orientation at a time to be determined. The deadline to apply to become a mentor or a mentee is January 26, 2018. For more information about the LLAMA Mentoring program, contact Mentoring Committee co-chairs Julene Jones at Julene.Jones(a)uky.edu<mailto:Julene.Jones@uky.edu> or Richard Guajardo at guajardo(a)uh.edu<mailto:guajardo@uh.edu>.

Organization of Youth/Family DVDs
by Keegan Sulecki 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

Hi everyone, Sending this out for a fellow staff member... We are reconsidering the organization of the youth DVD collection and would like to take a survey of how other Michigan libraries choose to organize their collections. It would be helpful if you could give us feedback on the following: Do you separate based on rating(G & PG) or do you keep them together but provide a label for the rating? How much information do you present on the spines (first letter of title, 3 letters of title, or whole title, etc)? If you label and organize by more than the first letter what kind of impact does the greater organization have on your staff's time and ability to keep things in order? Do you do anything special with tv shows/series? Thank you for your time!
