Re: [Michlib-l] Federal tax forms
by Margaret Bentley 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

Thank you to everyone who responded. Now that we know that at least some libraries have received forms we are contacting the IRS. If this does not work, we will contact our congressman. I personally ordered forms to be mailed to my home about a month ago. I have not received those either, but did get a form I did not order. This is shaping up to be the worst year yet.

Toner cartridge available
by Diane Greiner 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

I have a new toner cartridge that needs to go to a new home. It is a Xerox cartridge that replaces 98X. It says it is compatible with LaserJet HP Printers 4, 4+, 4M, 4M+, 5, 5M, 5N, Apple Laserwriter Pro 600, 630, Apple 16/600. I pulled out the starting strip and tried it on my HP LaserJet 4+, but it didn't work. Otherwise it is a brand-new cartridge and is free to a good home. I just need your RIDES code to send it to you.

Have other libraries received their federal tax forms? We have yet to see anything we ordered, creating a lot of frustration and ill will towards the library. -- Margaret Bentley Adult Services Librarian Shiawassee District Library--Owosso 502 W. Main Owosso, MI 48867 989-725-5134

I'm not sure whether there are many of these left out there, but my colleague is looking for an old library card catalog to use for decorating purposes. If there is one out there, that you are willing to part with, could you let me know dimensions and price? Please reply to me directly. Thanks.

Stickering Caldecott and Newbery Honor books
by Andy Schuck 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about stickering Caldecott and Newbery Honor books. 18 libraries responded, with 14 of them responding "yes" to stickering the Honor books and 4 responding "no". In addition, we had three libraries who stickered other youth award winners, the Coretta Scott King award winners (2 libraries) and the Theodore Geisel award. After considering all of this, we have decided to sticker the Caldecott and Newbery Honor books (we already sticker the Grand prize winners) and the Coretta Scott King award winners. Thanks again for all of your responses and suggestions! Andy Schuck Head, Youth Services William P. Faust Public Library of Westland 6123 Central City Parkway Westland, MI 48185 734-326-6123, ext. 2844 www.westlandlibrary.org<http://www.westlandlibrary.org>

Shared position
by Valerie Meyerson 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Hello - I am considering sharing a full-time teen services librarian with a neighboring library. We felt like if we had a full time position to post, we may be able to attract stronger candidates. The other library and I talked about the person being hired on by one entity and then the other contracting for services. Hoping someone out there has tried this type of model and would be willing to share their experiences - pros and cons; was there a contract or memo of understanding between libraries; what was in that document; any other tips. Thank you for your input. Valerie Meyerson, Library Director Petoskey District Library 231.758.3120 Please think of the environment before printing this email.
