Hinged tape free to a good home
by Ann Greene 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi.We have been cleaning cupboards and drawers in the office. We discovered two rolls of hinged tape. I can't tell you exactly what they are, but they most likely came from Demco in the past century. Perhaps around the late '80s or early '90s. One is a single layer of tape with a perforation down the middle. The other is two strips of tape, back to back, glued side out, with a line of stitching down the middle. Looks like an X when you open it. Free to the first person to say that they would like them. Please include your Rides code. Thanks. Ann GreeneEau Claire District Library

NetNanny
by Laura Orlowski 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi all; We are once again in the situation of having to replace our filtering system. If your library uses NetNanny or has used it in the past, could you please let me know the good/bad of it? In particular: Do/did you experience a slowing of your internet when using NetNanny? How does it work with Deep Freeze? Any issues between the two? Note: we are a small class II library with 8 filtered, 2 unfiltered and 2 staff computers (no in-house server). Any info and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, -Laura Orlowski, director Camden Twp. Library camden(a)monroe.lib.mi.us

Solicitors at library
by Helena Hayes 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Quick question for the collective... First time I've had someone want to "solicit" at the library and not sure of legalities. Woman wanted to hand out information and give a spiel about (against) the new wireless meters that Consumer's is installing. I told her that she can, but that she had to be away from the door. She was pleasant but aggressive towards people in the parking lot - made them uncomfortable. Where's the best place for me to find out what her rights are and how to protect my patrons? Thanks in advance! I appreciate your replies that are saving me time on a sunny Saturday afternoon... when I'm late meeting my kid! :->) -- Helena Hayes, MLIS, Director Galesburg Charleston Memorial District Library 188 E. Michigan Ave. Galesburg, MI 49053 269-665-7839 (phone) 269-665-7788 (fax)

National Reading Group Month Author Celebration will take place at the Berkley Public Library (3155 Coolidge in Berkley) on Tuesday, October 13 at 6:30 p.m. Free program is open to all! Please share the attached flyer with your patrons. Susan Crandall and Mardi Jo Link will take part in a Q&A moderated by local author Willetta Heising, past president of WNBA Detroit.

Susan Crandall's latest novel is a saga of 1920s barnstorming America featuring a World War I pilot, a daredevil debutante and a Midwestern farm boy. She is the award-winning author of ten other titles, including Whistling Past the Graveyard. She still lives in Noblesville, Indiana, where she grew up and met her husband. They are the parents of two and grandparents of four. Mardi Jo Link After graduating from Michigan State with a degree in journalism and agriculture, Mardi Jo Link took a job as a crime reporter for a daily paper in New England. She and her husband returned to Michigan to raise their three sons on a farm, which later resulted in her memoir, Badass, a Michigan Notable Book. Her latest memoir follows eight women to Drummond Island for one weekend a year over two decades. Hope to see you there! Matt Matt Church, Library Director Berkley Public Library 3155 Coolidge Hwy.
