by CED Donna Clark 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Dear Michigan Library Friends: I sent the following message out mid-April. I received 18 responses. In sharing the information with our City Manager, he asked that I try to get more responses from those of you who are City Libraries. We are established under PA 164 of 1877. Feel free to answer if you are not a city library. Donna Clark, Director Cedar Springs Public Library Class III, population 9,467 ********************* Our community is moving ahead on our new library building plans. We are a city library. We would like to survey several MI libraries to find out the following: 1. Type of Library you represent especially interested in PA 164 of 1877 2. Population served 3. Who owns your library building and property 3. What arrangement do you have with your municipality regarding your building, its operations and maintenance? Is there anything you would change about your present agreement if you could? 4. How are you funded? 5. Who would you suggest we approach for donations for construction? Partial replies are acceptable - we don't live in a perfect world and you are all busy! Thank you for considering our request. Donna Clark, Library Director Class III, population 9,467 ------- End of Forwarded Message -------

Processing Credit Cards
by Cory Grimminck 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Our board is considering whether or not to accept credit cards at the library, and they were interested in how many other libraries are currently doing so. They are particularly interested in hearing from other Class IV libraries. So . . . - Do you accept credit cards at your library? - If so, do you charge a transaction fee or have a minimum amount that can be charged? - Did accepting credit cards change the amount of money paid for fines, lost books, etc? Thanks, Cory Grimminck Director, Portland District Library

FOIA Packet from Library of Michigan - Developing Documents and Summaries for the 2015 FOIA Amendments
by White, Shannon (MDE) 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

This message was originally sent out on Monday afternoon to library directors and cooperatives. If you did not receive this information at that time and are a district library needing FOIA information to create policies, please review the message below. You may find information to assist you in the process. Other library types may find the information useful as well though they should consult with their local FOIA coordinator for guidance. Shannon Dear Library Director, Attached you will find a packet of information from the Library of Michigan titled "Developing Documents and Summaries for the 2015 FOIA Amendments." The samples are adapted from documents developed by and for State of Michigan state government agencies. They are primarily intended as information for district libraries and library cooperatives, but may be helpful to other types of public libraries in processing FOIA requests. For libraries under the umbrella of a municipality or county, please consult with the FOIA Coordinator for that local government entity for guidance. All libraries should discuss specific concerns or circumstances surrounding FOIA requests and the 2015 Amendments with their legal counsel. Any questions on the following materials may be directed to Kimberly Koscielniak at the Library of Michigan. The information attached summarizes the 2015 Amendments to the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq, or "FOIA," which require a public body to post on a website, or otherwise make accessible to the public, specific information on how the public body processes a request for public records and assesses fees. Public libraries are included in the definition of "public bodies," and must follow the Amendments, which become effective on July 1, 2015. Included in this material are samples of three documents that a public body is required to develop and make accessible to the general public: 1. The public body's FOIA Procedures and Guidelines (Part II) 2. A fee itemization form to be included in the FOIA Procedures and Guidelines (Part III) 3. A written summary of the procedures and guidelines that is easy-to-read (Part IV) You can also find the amending act included within the attached PDF packet.
