interesting question
by Lisa Waskin 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

I had an interesting question come up during a recent conversation with one of my managers. How would we accommodate and Amish resident of the SDL wanting a library card since they don't have photo IDs, and I learned that they also do not sign documents since their word is their bond. (I'm also going to talk to the banks because I can't imagine they can open an account without proper ID and signature). But my question is for any libraries that have Amish patrons, and did you require a signature and some ID? If not, how did you handle it? Do you have a written policy we can see? Thank you so much, Lisa Lisa Waskin, Director Superior District Library 541 Library Drive Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783 Ph. (906) 632-9331 Fax (906) 635-0210 lisaw(a)uproc.lib.mi.us <mailto:lisaw@uproc.lib.mi.us>

Press Release: Author E. Lockhart Visits Baldwin Library
by Rebekah Craft 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Rebekah Craft, Baldwin Public Library Phone: 248-554-4682 Email: rebekah.craft(a)baldwinlib.org *Author E. Lockhart Visits Baldwin Library* BIRMINGHAM, MI (November 28, 2016) – Hear bestselling young adult author E. Lockhart speak at The Community House on Wednesday, December 7 at 7:00 p.m. E. Lockhart, the pen name of Emily Jenkins, is the author of popular books for children and teens, including *We Were Liars*, *The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks,* and the Ruby Oliver quartet. Her young adult books are smart, socially-conscious, and appeal to both teens and adults. *We Were Liars*, which has been published in 33 countries, won the Goodreads Choice Award and was Amazon's #1 Young Adult novel of 2014.* The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks* won a Michael L. Printz Honor Award and was a National Book Award finalist. E. Lockhart grew up in Cambridge, MA and Seattle, WA and attended Vassar. She received her Ph.D. in English Literature from Columbia University and currently teaches Writing for Children at Hamline University’s low-residency MFA program. Lockhart said, “I'm going to be talking about young adult fiction, censorship and book banning, bibliotherapy, my own personal history, and the beauties of escapist literature. I look forward to meeting readers—it’s one of the nicest parts of being an author.” While Baldwin frequently hosts authors to visit and speak about their books, writing process, and inspiration, this is the first time the Library has hosted a nationally acclaimed young adult author. “Lockhart’s book* We Were Liars *was published in 2014 and continues to be the most popular teen book here at Baldwin. I am very excited and honored that E. Lockhart has agreed to come to Birmingham,” said Teen Librarian Elisabeth Phou, who coordinated the special event. In addition to Lockhart’s visit on December 7, the Library’s monthly teen book club, Pizza and Pages, for students ages 13 to 18, will be discussing *We Were Liars* on December 1 at 7:00 p.m. Due to popular demand, tickets are required for E. Lockhart's appearance. To reserve tickets, register by calling 248-554-4650 or visiting Baldwin Public Library's Adult Services Desk. At the event, Oak Park bookseller Book Beat will be on hand to provide books for purchase and signing. The Baldwin Public Library is located in downtown Birmingham at 300 W. Merrill Street. The Library’s hours are 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. The Library’s website www.baldwinlib.org has information on how to register for a Library Card and access all of the Library’s services. ### *--* *Rebekah Craft* *Associate Director* Baldwin Public Library 300 W.

Order your Labor Law posters for 2017 now!
by Kate Pohjola Andrade 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

Greetings, Please forgive the cross posting - I want to share this as widely as possible, and this may be the closest we get in libraryland to any sort of Cyber Monday sale! As you may know, the minimum wage rate in Michigan is increasing on January 1, 2017 to $8.90 per hour. The Michigan Chamber has received the final version of the 2017 Michigan Minimum Wage and Overtime poster, so the Woodlands Library Cooperative is accepting orders for the 2017 poster sets. These sets also contain the two mandatory federal updates that went into effect in August 2016 to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) notices. If you are interested in taking advantage of this group purchase, each poster set is $24 and includes updates released during the coming year, which are sent to you via email. This will let you tell the many other vendors who likely hound you and your staff that you're taken care of for the year. If they keep bugging you, feel free to send 'em to me and I'll see if they can provide a better deal and keep funds in Michigan! Reserve your poster here: https://goo.gl/forms/YRsyaM3dCOKKi1tg2 - *Deadline is Friday, December 16, 2016*. We'll ship posters and invoices out to you as soon as we receive them. kate -- Kate Pohjola Andrade, Director Woodlands Library Cooperative 517-629-9469 586-801-0725 - cell/text http://woodlands.lib.mi.us

We are looking at Beanstack for our reading programs/reader's advisory. Adult staff is concerned about the response they will get from their adult users because of content and look (too childish).
