by Christine Peele 17 Sep '24

Good Morning ! Please feel free to share this with your patrons. On Saturday, September 21 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the Detroit Public Library (5201 Woodward) the library will host a lively discussion on Clara Stanton Jones and her groundbreaking achievements at the Detroit Public Library. Author Dr. Renate Chancellor will discuss her new book, Clara Stanton Jones: Breaking the Glass Ceiling in the Detroit Public Library. The biography tells the story of Clara Stanton Jones, the first woman to direct a major public library system in the United States, and also the first African American president of the American Library Association. Mrs. Jones served as the Director of the Detroit Public Library from 1970 – 1978. "Clara Stanton Jones was deeply committed to serving the people of Detroit by providing them accessible library services as well as relevant programming,” according to Executive Director of the Detroit Public Library Jo Anne Mondowney.” “Mrs. Jones created TIP (The Information Place), an innovative community referral service that was replicated in libraries throughout the country. Dr. Chancellor’s biography is an important resource that captures Mrs. Jones’ rich legacy, and her leadership role at DPL and in the library world." Appearing in conversation with Dr. Chancellor will be Karen Lemmons, a retired Detroit Public Schools Community District librarian who has been actively involved with the American Association of School Librarians and the Young Adult Library Services Association. This event is being co-hosted by the Detroit Study Club. This event is free and open to the public.

by Jesse Cornea 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

Hello All, The Brandon Township Public Library is looking into getting a book vending machine for our service area to expand the number of patrons we reach. We wondered if any other library had such a machine and had a few questions about the machines and the libraries that have them. m - How much did the vending machine cost? - What is the class of your library? - If your vending machine is located at a private business, do you have an agreement with them? What sort of details does that include? - Does your vending machine have an insurance policy? - How successful has the vending machine been? If anyone would also be interested in the results of this survey, let us know!
