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

Home school support groups?
by North Adams Library 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Has anyone started a home school support group sponsored by their library? I want to do this in our library and would love to hear from people who have done it. I am picturing a place for them to get together once a month where they can do a group activity, listen to a presenter, or just chat with one another. Naturally, they would get to see all the new books. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you! Phyllis ------ Phyllis Rickard Director North Adams Community Memorial Library (zv245) 110 E.

Virtual attendance at board meetings?
by Linda Lyshol 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hi, recently a trustee asked if it is legal to have board members attend virtually instead of physically. Obviously, this would not excuse physical presence at board meetings all the time, but simply for the times that the board member might be ill but not ill enough to have read the packet and be able to vote; it would be nice for them to leave their germs at home. There would, of course, be other reasons they might not be able to attend physically but, if possible, to attend virtually. Does anyone have an legal opinion on this or have a policy that I can look at? Thanks! Linda Lyshol, MLIS, MPA Library Director, Branch District Library 10 E. Chicago St.,Coldwater MI 49036 http://www.BranchDistrictLibrary.org 517-278-2341, ext. 116 | 517-278-2342 (fax) To fear change is to fear being challenged.

by Kelli Perkins 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

We are currently using EDS Ebsco Discovery Service as a discovery platform for our public library catalog, but we're looking for recommendations from other public libraries. Is there a browser, overlay or discovery platform you are using and like? We are a III/Sierra (Innovative Interfaces) system. We'd like to look at some other products and are interested in what other Michigan libraries are using. Thank you so much for your time!

Looking for fees charged for printing, faxing, scanning
by Kelly Rembert 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hi, I thought someone recently compiled answers to how much libraries charge for printing, faxing and scanning. I searched the archives of Michlib-l unsuccessfully for this but maybe someone still has this info and can forward it to me. We just got new copiers and some of their features have us debating on how much to charge for these services. Thanks, Kelly Kelly Ireland Rembert Outreach Librarian Southfield Public Library 26300 Evergreen Rd. Southfield, MI 48076 (248) 796-4367 krembert(a)southfieldlibrary.org www.southfieldlibrary.org
