Dual monitor setup for patrons to see your computer screen?
by Andrea Estelle 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

Has anyone out there discovered a nice-looking way to implement a dual monitor type of setup that would allow our patrons to see the computer screen at the circ/ref desk when we want them to see it? I am looking for a system that would allow this that could be controlled easily (turned on/off as needed) by our staff and would keep us from having to swivel the monitors around to try to show them what we are doing? I don't want to add something clunky looking to our circ/reference desk so I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a creative, sleek solution to this!? Thanks for your help, Andrea Andrea Estelle, MLIS Library Director Otsego District Library Brighten the Corner Where You Are Every Great Community Deserves a Great Library <http://www.otsegolibrary.org/> www.otsegolibrary.org

Passive Programming Idea for Braille Literacy Month!
by Wambaugh, Stephanie (LARA) 05 Jan '17

05 Jan '17

Looking for a passive programming idea for your library this winter? Louis Braille was born January 4, 1809, and to celebrate his legacy the whole month of January has been declared as Braille Literacy Month! Why not set up a braille station for your patrons? The Braille and Talking Book Library can send Braille Alphabet cards that feature the letters a-z to use for this exercise (while supplies last, see the attached photo for a visual of the card). Then simply purchase a couple slate and stylus' and set them out at your library with basic instructions on how to use the Braille Alphabet card as a reference to write their names. This is great for kids and adults alike-it is a short and fun exercise that educates the public on the basics of braille. If you are interested in receiving any of the Braille Alphabet cards for your location, please email me back directly off-list. Included below is also a link to a slate and stylus for reference, however it may be possible to find one cheaper if you shop around. The Braille and Talking Book Library is a free service made possible through the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. Patrons do NOT have to be blind to use our audio book service, and we have over 60,000 books available! For more information, please visit our website at www.michigan.gov/btbl<http://www.michigan.gov/btbl>. https://www.amazon.com/The-Braille-Superstore-Standard-Slate/dp/B0093QR2KI/… Thank you!
