Michigan Summer of Safety Campaign - Michigan State Police and Libraries
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 23 May '16

23 May '16

A reminder to everyone of the Michigan State Police (MSP) Summer of Safety Campaign. The MSP will be sending promotional materials to libraries in May for use in your summer programming. This will fit in well with the Health, Fitness and Sports Summer Reading theme. _______________________________________________________ The Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP) is asking Michigan libraries to join us for the second year of the summer traffic safety campaign, Michigan Summer of Safety. Michigan Summer of Safety is a reminder to all of us to "take safety along for the ride" by driving and boating sober, wearing helmets and reflective gear when biking and riding motorcycles, and always wearing a seat belt. The goal is to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries on Michigan roads by increasing seat belt use and safe summer travel. In May, OHSP will be mailing all Michigan libraries bookmarks, stickers and a banner. Libraries can also join the conversation on social media by following OHSP on Facebook and Twitter and using #misummerofsafety to promote safe travels from Memorial Day to Labor Day. #misummerofsafety will provide a platform for a more significant social media presence and increase your reach on safety messages to your audience. Additional Michigan Summer of Safety support materials include placemats, flyers and sample social media posts are available for download at www.michigan.gov/ohsp<http://www.michigan.gov/ohsp>. Once you receive your materials, you can order more by contacting Cindy Stoneham at 517-636-4256 or stonehamc(a)michigan.gov<mailto:stonehamc@michigan.gov>.

FW: Join Michigan Libraries for Life 2016!
by Biggs, Deb Renee (MDE) 19 May '16

19 May '16

IMO, so worthwhile! DB D. R. Biggs, MA AMLS MeL & Library Outreach Coordinator Library of Michigan/Michigan Department of Education 517-373-4466 [cid:image005.png@01D1B1CB.90630160]<http://facebook.com/mel.org> [cid:image006.png@01D1B1CB.90630160] <http://mel.org/> [cid:image007.png@01D1B1CB.90630160] <http://twitter.com/meldotorg> From: Kate Saylor [mailto:kmacdoug@umich.edu] Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2016 10:04 AM To: Biggs, Deb Renee (MDE) <BiggsD(a)michigan.gov>; Simlar, Cathleen (MDOS) <SimlarC(a)michigan.gov> Subject: Join Michigan Libraries for Life 2016! Join Michigan Libraries for Life 2016! Registration form: http://bit.ly/ML4L2016. [smalllogo-01(1) (1).png] If you could save a life, would you? Most people would say “Yes!” without hesitation. One of the simplest ways to save and improve lives is by supporting organ, tissue, and eye donation. Since 2010, libraries across Michigan have participated in a simple and effective campaign to educate patrons about donation and transplantation, and to give them an opportunity to join the Michigan Organ Donor Registry<http://bit.ly/ML4Life>. The campaign is called Michigan Libraries for Life<http://www.librariesforlife.org/>. This statewide campaign, which includes public, academic, special and hospital libraries of all sizes, has inspired nearly 2,900 people to sign up as donors! “Libraries have been great partners in saving and healing lives,” said Rick Hillbom, Gift of Life Michigan’s Interim CEO. “They’ve been very successful at educating the public about the facts of organ, tissue and eye donation. Thanks to this partnership, Michigan Libraries for Life gives hope to the 3,500 Michigan patients waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.” More than 95% of Americans<http://organdonor.gov/dtcp/nationalsurveyorgandonation.pdf> support organ, tissue and eye donation. Yet in Michigan, only 54% of adults have joined the state’s donor registry. That discrepancy is largely due to residents not knowing how to properly join the donor registry. Michigan Libraries for Life helps to address that information need. “Someone you know probably needs - or will someday need - a lifesaving organ or tissue transplant. People die waiting because not enough organs are available. Your library can be a great help by registering donors and providing information about organ donation,” said Anne Rau, Capital Area District Library librarian and living kidney donor. “By participating in Michigan Libraries for Life your library is helping to save lives.” [cid:image008.jpg@01D1B1CB.90630160] University of Michigan Shapiro Undergraduate Library 2014 We are excited to bring this lifesaving event back in 2016! Libraries are welcome to participate by staffing a registration table in their libraries for however long they are able, from just a few hours to all 7 days. This year’s drive will start on Monday, October 3rd and run through Sunday, October 9th. Gift of Life Michigan<http://giftoflifemichigan.org/> will provide a free in-person training for library representatives at the Redford Township District Library on Wednesday, August 17th and a session at their Ann Arbor office on Friday, August 19th. We have also developed web-based training materials for those who are unable to attend the in-person sessions. “I enjoyed taking part in this well-orchestrated event,” commented one 2015 Michigan Libraries For Life participant. “I hope to participate again next year.” The key to this program's success is the participation of many libraries across the state. Your library is warmly invited to join the 2016 Michigan Libraries for Life organ donor registration drive. If your organization would like to participate in this year’s program, please complete this registration form: http://bit.ly/ML4L2016. If you would like more information, please contact us at MichLib4Life(a)umich.edu<mailto:MichLib4Life@umich.edu> or (734) 936-1394<tel:%28734%29%20936-1394>.
