by HOW Reynolds Twp Library 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hello again, I have another wonderful program suggestion for you! Last week we had Jerry Hasspacher from the Southeast Michigan Sierra Club come and present for us. His program was called "Climate Change & You!" and covered a lot of different "going green" topics. This program is definitely worth looking into! You can reach Jerry Hasspacher at 586-604-5781 or jhasspac(a)gmail.com

Ordering Federal Tax Forms
by Debbie Gallagher 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

A while back libraries participating in TFOP received an email from the IRS alerting us that 2014 Form 8635, the one we use to order tax forms for the library, would arrive via email in September. Obviously, we did not receive the form. IRS now "anticipates" that the form will be emailed "within two weeks." So be on the lookout and "anticipate" so that you may participate. Debbie Gallagher

Larry Martin's WWII In Their Own Words
by Smith, Donna 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Larry Martin returns on Saturday, October 4, at 10:00 am, to bring our nation's history to the present and foster an appreciation for the hardships endured by our veterans. The third part of this four-part series, hosted by Jackson District Library at the First United Methodist Church (275 W. Michigan Avenue), features Lazar Selektor, a Russian lieutenant who fought at the 900 day siege of Leningrad. He will talk about Joseph Stalin's political purges of 1937 when most of the senior officers were either killed or sent to Siberian work camps. Lazar will be present at the program to answer any questions about the horrible siege of Leningrad. Martin will also have a collection of World War II memorabilia on display. This presentation is free and open to the public. Martin can be reached at batt.chief(a)yahoo.com<mailto:batt.chief@yahoo.com> and more information can be found on his website: LMWW2.com. Mark your calendars for November 1 at the same time and location to hear personal experiences from Jim Lewis, US Navy submariner who was stationed in the Pacific Theater of Operations. Over a 9 year period, Martin's presentations have attracted approximately 6,000 people who have witnessed the very personal and emotional stories that he has been so passionate about bringing forth.

Tamarack District Library - and a job posting
by Hope Nobel 29 Sep '14

Good afternoon, everyone - I am so pleased to be returning to Michigan libraries after a two-year hiatus in Jackson County, WV, and will be starting November 4 as library director for Tamarack District Library in Lakeview, MI. I can't wait to reconnect with old friends, and make new ones. This leaves a place vacant here in Jackson County, and as a member of the search committee, I want to extend an invitation to any Michigan librarians with a sense of adventure to consider the job. I have loved it here, and wouldn't consider relocating were it not for my desire to be closer to my family in Michigan. I'm attaching the job announcement - feel free to email me with any further questions. Sincerely,Hope NobelDirector, Jackson County Public LibraryJackson County, West Virginia

Portable projection screen question
by Alison Purgiel 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

Hello! Our branch is planning to purchase a portable projection screen. We are hoping to give ourselves a little more flexibility with our programming space with this purchase, and a portable screen at our library would be primarily used with our digital projector. As usual there are many options in regards to size , pricing, etc. Has any library recently purchased a portable projection screen that you would recommend or warn against? Thanks for any help you may be able to provide. Alison D. Purgiel, Manager Norton Shores Branch Muskegon Area District Library 705 Seminole Road Muskegon, MI 49441 231-780-8844 apurgiel(a)madl.org
