Movie Licensing - TV Shows
by Sarah Maddox 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

So I have some patrons interested in screening some of the new TV shows like The Flash and such and some of them are available on dvd. Does this fall under movie licensing? Has anyone else showed anything similar? Sarah Maddox Youth Services Librarian Houghton Lake Public Library 4431 W Houghton Lake Dr Houghton Lake, MI 48629 989.366.9230

Computer Permission Slips for Minors
by Ashlee McClaughry 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Hello, We currently require parents to sign a permission slip for children under 17 to use our computers. We are thinking of doing away with the permission slips for several reasons. 1. Parents are not reading the slips, they're just signing 2. Anyone using our computers has to accept our computer policy before they can get on the Internet 3. Our Internet is filtered in the children's department, and children are not allowed on the computers in the adult department unless a parent is sitting with them 4. We have kept up with a list of children who have and have not turned in permission slips (several hundred names are on this list), but as staff retires or moves onto other positions, our newer staff does not know who all these children are and have found using this list to be very confusing and/or tedious. The biggest reason we have not discontinued use of the permission slips is because our Wi-Fi is not filtered (but our Internet is). We are wondering if other libraries require permission slips before allowing minors to use filtered computers? If so, what are your reasons? If you don't require permission slips or have done away with them, what are your reasons? Thanks in advance! -- Ashlee McClaughry, Young People's Librarian Comstock Township Library 6130 King Highway P.O. Box 25 Comstock, MI 49041 269-345-0136 ashlee.ctl(a)gmail.com

Adjustable folding tables
by Lois Hartman 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

I would like recommendations for durable folding tables for our community room. Specifically 8' in length with the resin/plastic top and height adjustable. I have bought from various places but we are finding they break down at the frame. Maybe that is normal with the use they get from people putting them up and taking them down, or is there some that are more durable than others? Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated. Cost is also a factor of course. I find many tables that are reasonably priced but not adjustable and we really need the adjustable ones because we use them for story hour.

Paper circuits Copper tape purchase question
by Kelaine Mish 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Would anyone out there who has done a paper circuits program with adhesive copper tape be willing to share where you found the tape at a decent price? Need it for about 300-500 person event. I'm seeing some for $2.95 a roll (1/4 in width, 50 feet) but it doesn't have conductive adhesive and is pretty thin (.08 mm thick) and am wondering if it will work well enough to light up a 5mm led powered by a cr2032 coin cell battery? I can't afford the over $10-20 dollars a roll I'm seeing on other sites. Thanks, Kelaine Mish, MLIS Kent District Library East Grand Rapids branch Kmish(a)kdl.org -- Galatians 5:22-6:10 (with some creative control) The harvest of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control.....so let us never tire of doing good, for if we do not slacken our efforts we shall in due time reap our harvest. Therefore, as opportunity offers, let us work for the good of all....

Go Deep With MAP
by Jim Flury 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

All, As some of you may know, my family's origins are in the Upper Peninsula (Finland prior, but that's another story). Yes, they were Yoopers :) Alas, I was born a troll :( When we would go "home" to visit family in the summer, we rode around in their AMC cars (anyone remember those?) and watched on television (or more often listened to on the radio), the Milwaukee Brewers (remember, this was the far western/northern U.P.). In the Fall our relatives looked forward to the start of football season or more precisely, the start of the Green Bay Packers football season. We would watch or listen to Bart Starr (anyone remember him?) "go deep," often against a team that in those years was based in Detroit, then Pontiac, and now Detroit again. AMC is long gone, although their Jeep lives on. I believe Bart Starr is still around, although he has to be getting up there. And thanks to the Michigan Activity Pass, between Memorial Day and October 15 your patrons can "go deep" with the newest MAP partner venue, Iron Mountain Iron Mine in Vulcan http://ironmountainironmine.wix.com/ironmine Following your tour, buy a pasty to eat and and a souvenir mineral to take home. Special thanks to Megan Buck, Director, Dickinson County Library in Iron Mountain for doing the heavy lifting to get Iron Mountain Iron Mine (and a number of other destinations in her service area) signed up for MAP. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Flury Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us
