Hello Libraryland, Has anyone hosted a fundraiser with a comedy act or performer? Especially in the Mid Michigan area? There is a lot of interest in my area about holding this type of event. If you've had any experience or know of any comedians who perform in Michigan who might be interested please let me know. Thanks! -- Sarah Genereaux-Maddox MLIS Marion Public Library Director 120 E Main St, Marion, MI 49665 (231) 743-2421 Have a wonderful day! *"**Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon." - G.K. Chesterton*

Join MCLS on Sept. 19 for a Virtual Dialogue about new employee onboarding!
by Jan Davidson 28 Aug '24

28 Aug '24

The onboarding of a new employee can and should be SO much more than signing paperwork and one week of training. By viewing onboarding as a process over time and planning with purpose, libraries and other workplaces can create positive experiences that lead to more satisfied staff and higher retention. Library staff from all library types and roles are invited to a Virtual Dialogue on Thursday, Sept. 19, 10:30 a.m. to noon Eastern (9:30-11 a.m. Central). The MCLS Engagement, Consulting, and Training Team will guide a conversation about intentionality in staff onboarding. This is NOT a webinar, but rather a chance to come together with other library staff from across our two-state region to share your strategies, insights, and experiences with each other. Please plan to have your microphone enabled and camera on to participate in the dialogue. Learn more and register now at https://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/virtual-dialogues. Questions? Contact our team at engagement(a)mcls.org<mailto:engagement@mcls.org>. We look forward to connecting with you!

UPRLC Conference deadline and hotel rooms
by Lisa Waskin 28 Aug '24

28 Aug '24

Happy Wednesday Everyone, The UPRLC Conference is less than a month away in the beautiful Upper Peninsula . Our deadline for registration is Friday, September 16th. We will not be able to accommodate on-site registration. When you register, please make sure you receive an email confirmation. We have had some glitches, so if you do not receive a confirmation, it will not show that you are registered on our end. You may contact Pam Malmsten at pmalmsten(a)superiorlandlibrary.org<mailto:pmalmsten@superiorlandlibrary.org> or Dillon Geshel at dgeshel(a)superiorlandlibrary.org<mailto:dgeshel@superiorlandlibrary.org> to make sure you are on the list. We also got a count from the Quality Inn of the available rooms, and we are at 30 rooms for Tuesday, September 24th, 14 rooms for Wednesday, September 25th and Thursday, September 26th. If you have registered and have not booked your room, please do not wait. I do want to point out that we added sessions earlier in the day on Wednesday, September 25th since we had such a huge response this year, so the conference begins at 10:30am on Wednesday, September 25th, not at noon like in previous years. This might change your plans about when you are coming into Escanaba. Also, we will be doing a raffle drawing at the end as usual. If you can bring an item to donate to the raffle, that would be great, but is not required. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, Pam or Dillon. We hope to see you there. The registration link can be found here: https://form.jotform.com/241273576298164 Hotel contact information is: https://www.choicehotels.com/michigan/escanaba/quality-inn-hotels/mi259?mc=… Quality Inn & Suites 2603 N.

Hello! Baldwin recently hosted the true crime author Rod Sadler <https://www.rodsadler.com/>. He discussed his latest book *Grim Paradise: The Cold Case Search for the Mackinac Island Killer. *Rod is a great presenter- engaging, knowledgeable, personable, and a pleasure to work with. Our patrons really enjoyed his presentation and are eagerly awaiting his return after the book that he is working on is finished. I highly recommend Rod for your library. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Mick Howey, MLIS Adult Services Librarian II Baldwin Public Library 300 West Merrill Street Birmingham, MI 48009 (248) 554-4649 https://www.baldwinlib.org/
