MLA Executive Summit early bird rates expire Friday
by Rachel Ash 17 May '17

17 May '17

What's next? This year MLA Executive Summit explores the future. Looking ahead, we know that there will be more elderly and more children in secondary schools. Baby boomers are downsizing and relocating. What does that mean to our neighborhoods? How will immigration make an impact? Join MLA on Friday, June 2 for this valuable one-day event designed to engage library leaders at the top or on their way to the top. Anyone looking to broaden their perspective should attend! Friday, June 2, 2017 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. Location: Ann Arbor District Library: Downtown 343 S. 5th Ave Ann Arbor, MI 48107 Register Today!<http://members.mla.lib.mi.us/Scripts/4Disapi.dll/4DCGI/events/register.html…> We'll look at the changing Michigan demographics and determine what our rural and urban communities might look like in 2020 and beyond. Using information from the U.S. census, we'll explore the evolving makeup of our neighborhoods and examine segments of the population broken down by age, sex, income and education. In addition we'll analyze trends in real estate sales and values and how that might impact future library funding. Where are people moving and what kind of communities are they looking for? We'll use these trends and analysis to fuel a discussion on the makeup of our future patron. Join MLA with Michigan's State Demographer, Eric Guthrie and real estate professional Scott Griffith as we look into the future. Early Bird rates expire Friday, May 19, 2017 For more information visit the MLA website: http://www.milibraries.org/events/executive-summit2017/ Register today!<http://members.mla.lib.mi.us/Scripts/4Disapi.dll/4DCGI/events/register.html…> Rachel Ash Communications and Membership Coordinator Michigan Library Association 3410 Belle Chase Way Ste. 100 Lansing, MI 48911 Phone: 517-394-2774 ext. 225 Fax: 517-394-2675 www.milibraries.org<http://www.milibraries.org/> Connect with us on social media: Facebook<facebook.com/michiganlibraryassociation> Twitter<twitter.com/mlaoffice> [hybrd logo] Please join us for the Hybrid Librarian Workshop May 19, 2017.

Conservation Workshops, May 25th
by Caryn Noel 17 May '17

17 May '17

Please excuse any cross posting. I've had the pleasure to meet the team and they are very knowledgeable. Find those treasures and enjoy a peaceful day at Orchard Lake before the Polish Country Fair! - Caryn Thanks to the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Poland, it's our privilege to host a world-renowned team of experts here at The Polish Mission. Dr. Marek Kolyszko, Dariusz Subocz, and Adam Korcz are here all the way from Poland's Torun and Grebocin, and they're experts in the fields of archaeology and conservation. During their stay they'll be dedicating their time to helping preserve our treasured collections here at Orchard Lake, and discover more! Thursday, May 25 Two Workshops: 12 noon and 6:00 pm @ the Galeria // (Building #8) 3535 Commerce Rd., Orchard Lake, MI 48324 Thursday, May 25 will be your opportunity to see professional museum work up close, as Dariusz Subocz begins conservation of three special pieces from our Galeria collection: A Winter Landscape in Polesia by Falat, Self Portrait with Christ by Malczewski, and Boleslaw I of Swiatopelk at the Golden Gate in Kiev (sketch), by Matejko. Guests will have the opportunity to learn conservation methods through Subocz's work and ask questions directly. Conservation of these three works of art was made possible through the generosity of the Orchard Lake Schools Ambassadors, the Levandoski family and Mr. Walt Bala. Dr. Marek Kolyszko is Poland's most renowned archaeologist, who has excavated historic sites from the battlefields of Scotland to the deserts of Libya. Dr. Kolyszko will conduct a hands-on learning experience, in which guests can make souvenir castings of objects from our collection. The plaster/silicone casting method is the same one used in restoring Poland's historic castle facades and other masonry. In addition, Adam Korcz will demonstrate the art of paper making, while showing his recent work on 16th- through 17th century royal Polish correspondence from our collection. Our team is proud to offer free museum evaluations of your own paintings, documents, and metal objects. Feel free to bring your items to the Galeria, and our team will offer advice on how to preserve them for posterity. Guests are advised to wear comfortable work clothes and shoes. Enjoy sweet Kremowki made by our own Chef Emily with coffee & tea, while our museum team shares stories and expertise with our community. Don't hesitate to call with questions, and see you Thursday!

by jsanders＠grpl.org 16 May '17

16 May '17

Hi All, Our Books by Mail service for homebound patrons is very popular and we were thinking about expanding the services to include movies. We currently provide only books and audiobooks in the service and we do not charge late fees for overdue materials. Checkout periods for materials are four weeks. If you include DVDs in your BBM circulating materials do you ---Have a problem with DVD cases being damaged in the mail? ---Are your mailing bags padded? ---Charge overdue fines for materials checked out by BBM patrons? ---How long are checkout periods for books or DVDs? Are they the same or different? ---Are DVDs limited to materials that are older than six months? ---Do you find you have BBM patrons that ONLY checkout movies? Please reply to me directly. I will compile and report back to list if people are interested in results. Thanks, Jean Sanders Librarian III-RAS Supervisor Grand Rapids Public Library jsanders(a)grpl.org
