Board/Commission Interaction Query
by Michael Mccaffery 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

Hello In preparation for a study session next Tuesday, I want to give a comprehensive report to council on library board powers and how they interact with the city council and administration. Although PA164 and MCL 397.211/212 has some details and I have done some other reading and questioning I am trying to provide a better picture for council as to some of the finer points of board interaction and how they can vary and why. Some questions that will come up: 1) Is your budget approved by city council and the board/commission or just the board? 2) Is your millage levied by the board/commission on its own or does it require a motion of council to levy each year? 3) Is your board/commission appointed or elected? 4) Does city council have a seat on the board/commission? 5) How many members are on the board/commission? 6) Does the board/commision or city administration choose the director? If you have a copy of your board's bylaws that would also be helpful. Thanks for your time and attention. MPM -- Michael Mccaffery Director Dearborn Heights City Libraries 24590 George St. Dearborn Heights, MI 48127 313-791-3800 mmccaffery(a)ci.dearborn-heights.mi.us

Course offering-Please share with your colleagues
by Drobny, Daria 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

The Metropolitan Detroit Medical Library Group(MDMLG) invites you to another CE course later this summer Aug. 15th How to be VISIBLE in a VIRTUAL World Many librarians believe that the value of a library is intrinsic - until a library's existence is threatened. It is hard to find new ways to persuade others that a library is a good thing to keep. By adapting persuasion theory, we can create a powerful image of the library. Participants will be able to distinguish between products and benefits in the patron's eyes, the importance of credibility and visibility, and persuasion tactics to use to convince leaders in their respective environments of the value of the library. You will explore what makes the library indispensable, whom to influence, when and where, and the significance for developing a plan for being visible/viable in a virtual world.
