National Library Legislative Day
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

Hi: National Library Legislative Day is May 7-8 2018. Michigan's delegation is over 20 participants! However, the more voices we have, the LOUDER we can be! Why should you consider joining us? * Because IMLS<https://www.imls.gov/news-events/news-releases/imls-director-dr-kathryn-k-m…> (and therefore LSTA<http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/02/white-house-budget-proposal-…>) are still in jeopardy! (In Michigan IMLS/LSTA funding pays for MeL, as a start) * Because Net Neutrality<http://www.ala.org/advocacy/telecom/netneutrality> & Rural Internet Access<http://www.ala.org/advocacy/advleg/federallegislation/telecommunications> are STILL important! * Because our Legislators may not know how current issues can affect Michigan Libraries. * Because our communities depend on us. * Because every child deserves a local library. * Because Libraries NEED ADVOCATES!! * Because NO ONE CAN TELL YOUR MICHIGAN LIBRARY STORY LIKE YOU CAN! * Because it doesn't have to cost as much as you think! * Because there are more Becauses!!! Would you like to know more? SEE http://www.ala.org/advocacy/advleg/nlld For information on what NLLD is and what you can expect.

Brilliance Audiobook MP3-Cases
by T.A. Cutler Memorial Library 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

This may be a dumb question, but does anyone have a source for replacement cases in the same size as the new BrillianceAudio MP-3 cases? They look like blu-ray cases, except they are orange (I don't care about the color) and have AudioBook stamped across the top. I purchased a new audiobook, but the case came broken in the box and I don't have any stock in the same size/shape to replace it with. I can repurpose a DVD case, but the artwork doesn't fit right. Thanks, Jessica T.A. Cutler Memorial Library 312 Michigan Ave. Saint Louis, Michigan 48880 (989) 681-5141

Hi Adrienne, The University of Michigan does have the Kill a Watt device that we do loan out. Patrons can charge them out at the desk for a 3-week loan. The model we have is Model:P4400 and have been circulating them since about 2009. Please feel free to contact me if you have more questions.
