Hello All: we recently hosted Anshu Varma <Anshuvarma2312(a)gmail.com> for a wonderful Teen/Tween program on mehndi (henna) and indian culture-- part of our international outreach for All Together Now. Anshu brought all the materials and even added elements of cultural teaching and demonstrations of the sari. The teens were thrilled and created some amazing Henna art. Anshu has been listed for many years with the MMLC preferred Performers list and the Michigan Humanities website-- but her email had changed, so i had a hard time reaching her!

by Jim Flury 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

All, TLN is pleased to announce that the new, powered by LocalHop MAP software is now live! If you've not already done so please update all of your MAP links to this brand new URL [ https://miactivitypass.org/ | https://miactivitypass.org ] A few housekeeping details: ***TLN has made all 475 venues inactive at the previous MAP website. Making a venue inactive at the previous MAP website removes the destination from public view, thus negating the pass reservation process there. The previous MAP website now includes a note telling patrons to proceed to the [ https://miactivitypass.org/ | https://miactivitypass.org ] site to begin their MAP adventure. The previous MAP website will remain active for a tbd amount of time. ***A LocalHop produced tutorial on how to reserve a MAP pass can be found at [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIc5Yo_7OvY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIc5Yo_7OvY ] It is also available at the [ https://miactivitypass.org/ | https://miactivitypass.org ] site under Resources, MAP Tutorial. ***Huge improvement alert!!! The new MAP software includes the ability for patrons to save passes to their Apple or Google wallet on a mobile device. ***All new MAP promotional material is available at [ https://tln.org/page/map/ | https://tln.org/page/map/ ] ***There is an all new email address to use to contact us for MAP related questions [ mailto:map@tln.org | map(a)tln.org ] ***The TLN MAP Team (Brigette, DJ, Steve, Andrea, myself) has done extensive testing of the new MAP software. We also appreciate the testing work done by several volunteer libraries across the state. If you or your patrons find any glitches please report them to us at [ mailto:map@tln.org | map(a)tln.org ] We appreciate your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100, ext 133 Note New Fax Number: 248-716-5584 Note New Email Address:jflury@tln.org

Lock Suggestions for Kits
by Amanda Pfister (Roseville Public Library) 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

Hello, Our library has Early Literacy kits and STEM kits available for patrons to check out with some adult kits on the way. We were using zip ties as a means of locking the kits to deter patrons from using them in the library. This was working for the most part but we had an incident the other day where a child opened multiple kits and the library staff had to spend a great deal of time finding the scattered pieces and putting the kits back together in the correct bags. I was wondering if any other libraries have found a good way to have their kits displayed but still keeping them locked so patrons cannot use them until after checking them out. Our literacy kits are in clear plastic bags and our STEM kits are in clear plastic Sterilite boxes. I've attached pictures of each kit so you can see what we were doing. We don't have the space to keep them behind the counters and unfortunately with our youth desk being unmanned most of the time, we are worried that this may happen more often. If anyone has any suggestions, please pass them along. Thank you, Amanda Pfister Youth Services Librarian Roseville Public Library (586) 447-4553
