Hello - the Library of Michigan has free materials we are offering to the library community. To take advantage of this opportunity, see the information below and the attached spreadsheet. Feel free to forward this message to other library groups or listservs within Michigan. Content and condition The titles listed are extra copies of fiction and non-fiction (hard and soft cover) books submitted to the Michigan Notable Books program over the last year and either contain Michigan content and/or were written by a Michigan author. Also available are items weeded from our collections, and donated materials we cannot use. Most of the non-MNB items are old library books and come with library markings/stickers, but are otherwise in the condition noted on the spreadsheet. If you'd like to only consider the newer books, you can either sort by condition or publication year. How to request Please submit requests by email to baconb1(a)michigan.gov<mailto:baconb1@michigan.gov> .

Mobile Hotspot Canva file in Story format
by Katie Rothley 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

Hey all, Happy Saturday. Just wanted to share a Canva Facebook/Instagram story-sized graphic <https://www.canva.com/design/DAFzOa6_dFg/f99ZoBBC41No0BOEA2-2Lw/edit?utm_co…> I made for my library to promote mobile hotspots. Feel welcome to use it but make a copy first to edit for your library if you'd like so other libraries can get the template too but without your edits. I removed our logo and phone number from it but it does mention "Northville" in the smaller type about requirements. If you've never scheduled a story before, I'm happy to tell you how to do it. Just let me know! And if you didn't know, and you have the right kind of Canva account, you can also make this into a gif if you add an animated element to it. I'm sharing this on TLN and Michlib-L, but if any other cooperative wants to pass it along to your listservs, feel free! I'm happy to share anything to help out. Have a great weekend, Katie -- Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Public Relations Librarian Northville District Library 212 West Cady Street Northville, MI 48167 (248) 349-3020 <callto:(248)+349-3020> ext. 221 https://northvillelibrary.org My working day may not be your working day.
