Health Happens Webinar Archive and Roadmap to Better Care
by White, Shannon (MDE) 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Today marks the final day of open enrollment in the health insurance marketplaces established as part of the Affordable Care Act. Public libraries and their community partners supporting outreach, application, and enrollment efforts for patrons will have opportunities to share best practices and lessons learned with one another over the coming months. The resources below are intended to support that process. * The full, free archive is now available for Health Happens in Libraries: Prioritizing Patron and Partner Engagement<http://wc4.net/t?r=850&c=3782914&l=337856&ctl=4B2E34A:37D71AC352E2C078185B1…>. This session includes information on strategies and resources for patron and partner engagement from the initial open enrollment period, as well as information on ways that your organization can prioritize future planning for marketplace enrollment activities. * Many consumers newly enrolled in healthcare coverage may benefit from information on how to use it and maintain it most effectively. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provides guidance for individuals for using insurance and supporting health, via the Roadmap to Better Care and a Healthier You<http://wc4.net/t?r=850&c=3782914&l=337856&ctl=4B2E34B:37D71AC352E2C078185B1…>.

Do you have any lessons learned from the current enrollment period that we should incorporate in future communications?

Outside the Lines is a weeklong celebration demonstrating the creativity and innovation happening in libraries. Whether your organization is large or small, a school library or a public library, you can participate by creating events that are fun, engaging, and get your local community thinking differently about libraries. Mostly Colorado libraries at this point but it's spreading!: http://getoutsidethelines.org/ Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant and Plinkit Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

two program recommendations
by Saffert, Carli 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hi, folks, Just wanted to recommend a couple of programs/presenters that we had here last year that were really great. 1. Keith Gamble Keith Gamble is a saxophonist and educator from Detroit. He came with a pianist, a bass player, and a drummer and played a jazz concert for us last year. He and his fellow musicians are highly talented. We did a straight-up concert, but I could see them playing a Friends' fundraiser or gala as well. He often plays for public libraries, and he is a delight to work with. If you're interested, just contact him for his rates. You can reach him at keithgamblemusic(a)comcast.net<mailto:keithgamblemusic@comcast.net> or keithgamblemusic.com. 2. The Gone With the Wind Answer Lady Kathleen Marcaccio does a fun program on all aspects of Gone With the Wind. She covers Margaret Mitchell, the writing of the book, the making of the film, and a lot of behind-the-scenes information. She is extremely well informed, and she is actually in contact with a few of the surviving actors from the film. She brings a nice selection of her GWTW memorabilia along with her to her events. We had a solid attendance, and the audience members were enthusiastic about the event. This program appeals not just to GWTW fans, but also Civil War buffs and classic movie geeks. When we booked her, her fee was $125. I don't know if that has changed. You can reach her at dkosh(a)msn.com<mailto:dkosh@msn.com>. Happy programming! Carli Carli Saffert Asst. Reference Librarian St. Clair County Library
