Please join us for our next Digital Collections Office Hours tomorrow, Thursday, November 7, 2024 from 10:30-11:30 am. Do you have questions about creating digital collections? Do you have material that you want to digitize and share with your community, but don't know where to start? Are you interested in preserving your digital content and need tool recommendations? Join experts from the Library of Michigan<https://cms.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/digitization/>, DPLA Michigan Service Hub<https://michmemories.org/>, and the Michigan Digital Preservation Network<http://mipres.org/> for free advice during new monthly open office hours! Come with questions, like... * What grants are available to support digitization of my collections? (hint: YES!) * What file format should I be scanning to for long-term preservation? * What platforms can I use to publish digital collections? * How do I work with volunteers to create a scanning program? * And much, much more! Office Hours will be held virtually the first Thursday of every month from 10:30-11:30 am and are open to any staff or volunteers at libraries, archives, museums, historical societies, or other cultural memory organizations! Use the link below to register for office hours and receive the Zoom link. Come for a question, stay to join the discussion!

Class 1, 2, 3 libraries
by Perri Saunders 06 Nov '24

06 Nov '24

Small Michigan libraries - How are you handling the raise in minimum wage in February? Are you giving raises to the whole staff or just to those earning below $12.48? (Yes, we have one person in that group.) Giving everyone a 20% raise would be awesome, but would totally blow our budget. I'm just looking to see how all of your boards are handling this. Thanks for your wisdom! Perri -- Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N. Kalamazoo St., P.O. Box 399 White Pigeon, MI 49099 269-483-7409 *p.saunders(a)woodlands.lib.mi.us <p.saunders(a)woodlands.lib.mi.us> * *Brighten the corner where you are.*
