Looking for multi disc dvd albums
by Savannah Shilton 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

I'm wondering if anyone has a few extra multi disc dvd albums they no longer need? I'm looking for ones that hold 5-6 discs (just the standard ones that come with TV series purchased at a store.) Thank you in advance! Savannah Shilton Interim Director Putnam District Library 327 N.

Lifetime Ban Survey Results
by Keegan Sulecki 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi Everyone, As promised, I am sharing the results of the survey I sent out a couple of weeks ago. Please find the summary of that data attached. My requesting this survey stems from an incident our management team is currently responding to in the Chelsea community. I would advise any library looking to add lifetime bans into their policy language to discuss it with their attorney first. Thanks, Keegan Keegan Sulecki *Head of Information Services* Chelsea District Library p: 734.475.8732 X218 <(734)%20475-8732> f: 734.475.6190 <(734)%20476-6190> a: 221 S.

Fw: Wine Tasting Info
by Dan Hutchins 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi all,First of all thank you to the multitude that replied to my question about the legal ins and outs of conducting a wine tasting in a public library. I was going to compile all of the responses and send them out, but the response I received from the always helpful Clare Membiela (see below) summarized the responses the best: when it comes to the laws governing such things every situation is different and there is no one, single answer. The absolute best thing to do is contact the Michigan Liquor Control Commision at 866-813-0011 option #1 and discuss your program idea or plan with them. Talking to your attorney wouldn't hurt either.

I believe the answer to this specifically for a tasting may lie in who you have administering the tasting (see MCL 436.2027, below). If you have an outside entity overseeing the tasting, then you may wish to consult with them on this question. The Michigan Statutes MCL 436.2027 details some requirements for retailers and distributors that are holding/conducting tastings. Tastings appear to be handled slightly differently than general alcohol consumption, again, depending on the specifics of the event. I located the attached letter from the MLCC that may help answer some of your questions. Alcohol consumption, in general, is possible in an unlicensed venue (think of a wedding reception, for example, or a private party), but there arespecific limits and much depends on the specifics of each situation (including Tastings). General alcohol consumption (as discussed in the attached letter from the MLCC) would seem to be legal in unlicensed venues under cerain circumstances, and subject to certain limitations (especially an expectation of payment or donations of any kind in exchange for participation in the event where the consumption takes place) A general discussion of alcohol consumption and the need for a license can be found here: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/dleg/Club_Licensee_Info_272130_7.pdf (pp1-2) (discussing consumption or service by clubs – but see pg 1-2 for a good explanation of , generally, when a license is required). See also MCL 436.1915 - you may also want to consult with your municipality in the event there are any restrictions vis a vis alcohol in public buildings. I would STRONGLY SUGGEST that you contact theMLCC inquiry numbertoll-free, at 866-813-0011, in order to obtain the correct answer for your particular event. It is also prudent to confirm any plan of action with your attorney, just to be safe. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

The Lawrence Branch of Van Buren District is planning a similar event. The idea is to have a vendor out to host a free tasting for our patrons.
