Hosting Driver's Training
by Stanczak, Cindy 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Hello all!! Hoping to pick your collective brain on this. Our school district has changed from a K-12 to a K-8, with our 8-12 students attending nearby (15-30 mile away) high schools. We've been asked by our local PTO if we can host a local driver's training class here at the Library, so that it's more easily accessible for our teens. They've contracted with a driver's training company to teach. The first session includes 13 meetings. Our meeting room policy says that we are free to non-profit events open to the public, but that we charge $30 per booking for private, for-profit meetings, which is really what this is. But, it's also a great service for our teens, that no one else in the city has the tech or space to host. We're willing to meet them part way, but would like to hear from some of you on this. Do you host driver's training? What do you charge, if you charge? Thanks!! Cynthia Stanczak Adult & Teen Services Librarian Albion District Library 501 S. Superior St. Albion, MI 49224 (517) 629-3993

Affordable Care Act Resources Available on LM websites
by White, Shannon (MDE) 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

The Library of Michigan has posted a list of Affordable Care Act resources on its website to help libraries that may be preparing to assist patrons in finding websites and resources to inform them of healthcare reform. At this time the resources are provided in a PDF document and I will be working to place these on the website as regular links on our new Library Initiatives - Affordable Care Act page. To access the resources you can follow the path http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan FOR LIBRARIES - LIBRARY INITIATIVES - AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. Library staff can also find links to more limited number of general ACA resources in the MeL.org Health and Wellness Gateway, www.mel.org<http://www.mel.org>. If you have ideas or know of other resources we can add to this list, please email me directly and I will continue to add pertinent resources throughout the year. If you have policies or handouts that can be customized and shared those would be very welcome as we add to the list. The current document divides the resources into the following areas: Overview What Can Michigan Public Libraries Do Now to Prepare?
