Hello - I am cleaning out some storage space and would like to find a nice home for some excess steel shelving. We have quite a few media shelves, in putty: 35.5" long x 7" deep x 6.25" tall. Perfect for DVD's and CD's. We have lots of the dividers for them and some sides. Free to a good home - as long as you pick them up. Contact me off list for more specific details, by July 5. Thank - _________________________________________________________________________________ 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.

FW: Farm-to-School Program
by Lancaster, Catherine (MDE) 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

FYI - for those offering or considering summer food programs, this is exciting news. [MDE Logo] News Release Contact: Martin Ackley, Director of Public and Governmental Affairs, 517-241-4395 Bill DiSessa, Spokesperson, 517-335-6649 Michigan Lands $70K Grant to Grow Farm-to-School Program June 27, 2017 LANSING - Michigan schoolchildren soon will eat more fresh, locally-grown produce thanks to a farm-to-school grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) announced today. "Hundreds of applicants from across the nation competed for limited funding, so I'm very excited that Michigan was selected as a grant recipient amid such overwhelming interest in this latest round of USDA Farm to School Grants," State Superintendent Brian Whiston said. In announcing the $70,280 grant, the USDA said Michigan's application stood out because it "demonstrated your strong experience and readiness" to oversee ongoing farm-to-school initiatives. Michigan's funding will help strengthen partnerships and improve farm-to-school data collection to support achieving a goal of public K-12 schools purchasing at least 20 percent of their fruits and vegetables from local sources by 2020. Specifically, the MDE plans to use the funds to: * Expand school food service director (FSD) networks and cultivate their leadership via a new Cultivate Michigan Farm to School Leadership Institute; * Host a series of regional Cultivate Michigan Marketplace networking events to help FSDs strengthen relationships with local food suppliers; * Build a more stable, informed school market for local food producers; and * Develop more FSDs as community food systems leaders. The grant project is a collaboration among the MDE, Michigan State University (MSU) Extension, MSU's Center for Regional Food Systems, The Ecology Center, and Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD). For the past decade, Michigan has supported several farm-to-school efforts, such as 10 Cents a Meal, an effort by MDE and several state partners to improve school nutrition, encourage local produce consumption, and incentivize economical farm-to-school produce pipelines in communities statewide. Schools purchase and serve local produce and are reimbursed by up to 10 cents per meal under the pilot program. In Michigan, 47 percent of K-12 students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals through USDA Child Nutrition Programs. MDE administers the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, Summer Food Service Program, Food Distribution programs, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and various local purchasing efforts such as Farm to School, Farm to Institution, and 10 Cents a Meal. For more information about Michigan's farm-to-school efforts, please contact Jaime Malnar, MDE School District Consultant, at 517-335-3792 or Colleen Matts, Farm to Institution Specialist, MSU Center for Regional Food Systems, at matts(a)msu.edu<mailto:matts@msu.edu> or 517-432-0310. # # # * Farm+to+School+Grant+.pdf<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZ…>

Injuries/Incidents
by Devin Erlandson 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Good morning Michigan Libraryland, My board has asked me to find out what other libraries do to handle injuries (patron and staff) and incidents. If you have a policy and/or a form and wouldn't mind sending that along, I'd appreciate that greatly. Second, they would also like to know what other libraries do for training in terms of things like bloodborne pathogens, hazardous materials, and hostile work environment training. Thanks for any and all help, I can compile what answers I get for the listserv. -- Devin Erlandson, MLIS Assistant Director Allegan District Library 269-673-4625 alleganlibrary.org
