The MeLCat team from the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services is going on the road again to meet up with staff from MeLCat libraries all over Michigan. The free half-day regional sessions will feature review, discussion, and the opportunity to compare notes with staff from other MeLCat libraries. MCLS staff are creative, fun and informative as they review practices and take feedback in a good mixture of hands-on activities and group discussion.

Teen Vogue
by Valerie Meyerson 14 Jul '17

14 Jul '17

I've just received my first "inquiry" into the most recent Teen Vogue issue and it's not even on the shelf yet! After reading about the article in question, I'm really not that surprised, knowing my community. So, just a heads up to the greater library community that this most likely will bring inquiries and/or complaints and to make sure all staff is well versed in how to handle reconsideration requests. This one could be a doozy! Happy weekend everyone. _________________________________________________________________________________ Valerie Meyerson, Library Director Petoskey District Library 231.758.3120 231.881.7676 vmeyerson(a)petoskeylibrary.org<mailto:vmeyerson@petoskeylibrary.org> Please think about the environment before printing this message.
