Need for wireless stats.
by Patricia Braden 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hello all, Now that we all need to provide statistics showing wireless usage in our libraries to the State, I am wondering what other reasons there might be for collecting this information. Is it worth putting a lot of money into equipment to gather these stats? For those libraries who already have equipment to gather these stats, what else do you use this information for? Thanks!

Non-resident policy
by Diane Greiner 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

We have an adjoining population area that has no library services, so we get a number of non-residents applying for a non-resident card at our library. My question to this knowledgable group is as follows: Do your non-residents have the same privileges as residents have (interloan, etc.)? What do you charge for non-resident cards (Individual vs Family)? Any help you can provide is appreciated, Diane Greiner Library Director Croton Township Library 8260 South Croton-Hardy Drive Newaygo, MI 49337 231-652-1615

The Senate adopted its substitute version of House Concurrent Resolution 11, which was adopted by the House in September. The state legislature had inserted language in the Michigan Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2013-14 budget prohibiting the department from using any funds on the implementation of the Common Core State Standards and Smarter Balanced Assessments “unless an affirmative action of the legislature authorizing implementation of said standards or assessments is provided.” “I’d like to thank House Speaker Jase Bolger and Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville for getting us to the point where we can continue to move forward,” Flanagan said. “To help all our students succeed, our collective work needs to be focused on having rigorous standards; effective and valuable assessments aligned to those standards; and high quality and effective educators.” The State Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards as Michigan’s state standards in 2010 and local school districts have been in the process of developing their own curricula to align with those state standards since then. # # # * Moving forward with Common Core.pdf< http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkP… > ________________________________ [ https://public.govdelivery.com/system/images/35605/original/michigan%20depa… ] Questions?

Guidelines on donation amounts for naming rights
by Doug Koschik 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

The Baldwin Public Library has a naming rights policy: http://baldwinlib.org/assets/PDFs/Library-Policies/Naming-Policy.pdf It provides no guidelines, however, on how much money should be donated for any given element of the building. For example: How much of a donation will provide naming rights for the entire library? How much of a donation will provide naming rights for a Youth Room or Teen Room or Reference Room or Local History Room or cafe or a meeting room or the story room within the Youth Room? How much of a donation will provide naming rights for a section of a room--e.g., the beginning-to-read section of the Youth Room or the Adult history section? If you allow a room or area to receive multiple donations, do you honor the multiple donors with a plaque instead of a name? (For example, "This patio was paid for with contributions from ...") In this case, do you charge each donor the same amount? Or do you accept different amounts and then list the donors by donation amount? If your library has such guidelines, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. Alternatively, if you have no formal guidelines, but have given out naming rights in the past, I would appreciate hearing what your practice has been. (For example, we had an $8 million building project. Somebody donated $1 million. We named the library after them.) I realize that donation amounts will vary by the type of library. Since a large library will have a larger and more expensive Youth Room, the naming rights for that room would probably be commensurately larger. So it would be helpful if you could provide some indication of the size of your building. Please send your responses to me at doug.koschik(a)baldwinlib.org, instead of to the general list. Many thanks for any assistance you can provide. Doug -- Doug Koschik Director Baldwin Public Library 300 W. Merrill St. Birmingham, MI 48009 E-mail: doug.koschik(a)baldwinlib.org Telephone: 248-554-4681 Fax: 248-647-6393
