Fwd: Michigan Magnet Man program
by Erin Ross 08 Aug '23

08 Aug '23

Attached is a message from our director here at the Buchanan District Library about a program that we highly recommend! We hosted The Michigan Magnet Man on Saturday, August 4th. Today we hosted "The Michigan Magnet Man," Tanner Torrez, and his partner "Scuba Sonia" for a really cool program all about magnet fishing! We had a large audience for our small library. While we advertised this as an adult program, we did have several families bring kids, and Tanner did an excellent job tailoring his presentation style to the audience. The kids really enjoyed asking questions and were engaged the whole time. Tanner is also going to help us figure out how to add a beginner magnet fishing kit to our Library of Things. All around, we highly recommend this program! Tanner was great to work with and the program was fun and informative. themichiganmagnetman(a)gmail.com https://www.youtube.com/@TheMichiganMagnetMan P.S. We asked our local conservation club to sponsor this event and they happily supported us. They also helped with advertising. I think it was a nice way to offer something a little different to a different audience. Meg Paulette Perez Director Buchanan District Library 269.695.3681 www.buchananlibrary.org

Social workers in libraries
by Mary Beauchamp 08 Aug '23

08 Aug '23

Greetings. I apologize if this has been asked before, but our library would love to hear from any of you who have experience in hiring a social worker. Especially if you are a Class 4 library... My questions : Does your social worker have a Masters? Or are they interns? If they are part-time: do they set office hours? Or go by appointments? How did you find funding for them? Has it been useful for your patrons? How do you promote it, especially to those people that are hard to reach but might really benefit from it? (Homeless, etc.) Any major problems? Do you pay for professional liability insurance? Thank you! Mary Beauchamp Collection Development & Reference Librarian Petoskey District Library 500 E. Mitchell St. Petoskey, MI 49770 231-758-3125
