Notary Public Training Info
by Andrea Mucha 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hello! I am waiting on the final document from the State of Michigan to become a Notary Public so that our branch can offer this service. I know that there are no educational/ requirements here in MI to be a Notary. However, in regard to anything legal, I like to be properly prepared. I know it would be very rare to have a notarized document challenged in some way, but from what I read I would be the person held responsible. So, does anyone know of any inexpensive training book/dvd/set they would recommend? Thanks! Andrea Mucha Office Assistant Warren Public Library Dorothy M Busch Branch 23333 Ryan Road Warren MI 48091 (586) 755-5750 (586) 756-4292 Fax http://www.warrenlibrary.net/

extra 1040 forms/booklets?
by Andrew Cherven 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hi all - we've run out of Federal 1040 forms and booklets (not 1040A or 1040EZ) despite reordering twice (so much for reduced demand for paper). If some of you have extras, we would be grateful to receive some (maybe 75-100 forms/30-40 booklets). It's been so difficult to gauge quantities this year; we ordered based on what we used last year and have had to place 6 reorders for various forms, instructions and publications. Thanks for your help. Our RIDES code is zv264 - Drew Drew Cherven Reference Services Petoskey District Library 500 East Mitchell Street Petoskey MI 49770

08 Apr '14

City Library Director-New Haven (CT) Free Public Library Creating Community - Unleashing Potential - the <http://nhfpl.org/> New Haven Free Public Library Board of Directors seeks an exceptional leader to help realize the Library's strategic goals, create community, and unleash the potential of the city and the library at its heart. The successful candidate will exhibit strong management skills and excellent cultural competencies. The Library Director will work well in a complex environment and be a strong team leader who builds consensus internally and be a passionate advocate who connects the library system externally with a broad mosaic of community stakeholders. The library, with a $5 million annual budget ($4.5 from City appropriations), a strong senior management team and a dedicated staff (52.3 FTEs), provides services and programs through the historic Ives Main Library (on the New Haven Green and adjacent to the <http://www.yale.edu/> Yale campus), four branches and a ReadMobile. The Library Director, working with the board and a related foundation board, will build on fundraising successes of the last decade and secure new financial resources to increase services.

For additional details see <http://www.gossagesager.com/NHFPLStrategicPlan.pdf> NHFPL Strategic Plan 2014-2016. New Haven is one of America's most dynamic small cities. The City proper has a population of 130,000. The principal municipality of a metropolitan region on the northern shore of Long Island Sound, it is in close proximity to Boston and New York City, which is accessible by more than 40 daily train connections. New Haven had the largest population growth of any New England city in the 2000-2010 U.S. Census and it has the highest apartment occupancy rate in the nation, with construction of more downtown residential sites underway. Like most communities, New Haven is also home to people with socio-economic challenges - but it has a scale and assets that make connecting residents to opportunity more possible. The local economy has a lot of STEAM - with science, technology, education, arts, and medicine as key drivers. Bioscience is growing, fueled by university research and the presence of Yale-New Haven Hospital, the fifth largest hospital in the U.S. <http://www.yale.edu/> Yale University and five other universities in the region enroll 35,000 students a year. Gateway Community College opened a state-of-the art downtown campus in 2012, three blocks from the main library. <http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/> New Haven has professional theater, practicing architects, new and classical music concerts, outdoor festivals, and free world-class art museums unmatched by any city of similar size in the country. It also has 376 years of history - seen in its town green and architecture spanning three centuries - and nature is always nearby, with beaches, hiking trails, parks and farms not far from the city center. Such recreational opportunities are beneficial, given that New Haven is also a great restaurant town - from fine dining to the best pizza anywhere.
