MeL Minute: Juneteenth National Independence Day
by Ann Kaskinen 01 Jun '23

01 Jun '23

[A white letter on a blue green and red background Description automatically generated with low confidence]The federal government takes 11 holidays per year. Juneteenth National Independence Day, the most recent addition to that list, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. Often called Emancipation Day or Jubilee Day, Juneteenth marks the day (June 19) in 1865—over 2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation<https://school.eb.com/levels/high/additionalcontent/10435235> was signed—when a Union general informed enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas that the Civil War had ended and that they were free. From the earliest learner to the more advanced, there are articles, video clips, images, and primary source documents available in the Michigan eLibrary (MeL)<https://mel.org/welcome> to further our understanding of the newest federal holiday. Radio & News Transcripts While Points of View Reference Center<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> offers thousands of articles<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> and several images articulating the many pieces of history that led to the establishment of this federal holiday, one unique holding in this eResource is Radio & News Transcripts. These include complete transcripts from CBS Evening News, CNN Newsroom, Fox News, NBC Nightly News, and the Today Show among others. Additionally, this eResource allows users to utilize the limiters to search for international articles about Juneteenth and other subjects. eBooks In the eBook Academic Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>, Juneteenth: The Story Behind the Celebration<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> gives a scholarly account on the holiday’s history. For the more novice learner, the eBook K-8 Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> provides the 32-page nonfiction text, Juneteenth<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, that touches on slavery and presents ways the holiday is currently celebrated. For additional titles on Juneteenth, explore the entire suite of eBook Collections in MeL or use NoveList Plus<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> to generate a title list<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>. Early Learning For our earliest learners, PebbleGo<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=pe…> Social Studies and Britannica School<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=eb> offer great video and audio tools to help support Juneteenth history and understanding. In PebbleGo Social Studies, students can click the Holiday link and see that Juneteenth is included among the 39 holidays listed. Britannica School has a thorough summary of the holiday as well as embedded links to related articles. Maybe the most notable offering from Britannica is this Q&A video<https://school.eb.com/levels/high/assembly/view/256111> that articulates the history and offers images of current celebrations around the country. To further your learning about Juneteenth, please also consider investigating the following eResources in MeL: History Reference Center<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>, Humanities Source<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>, and Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoints<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=ov…>.

by Stair Library 31 May '23

31 May '23

Hello! You're invited!...to the Grand Opening event for our newly installed outdoor musical instruments (from Percussion Play Ltd. https://www.percussionplay.com/) Sunday, June 11, 1-3 p.m. Hopefully, they'll all be in the ground by June 11! (Only half are in so far...yup, I'm at the freak out stage...but they're so cool, it'll still be worth your while to attend even with only half of them in!) See the attached flyer for more details...especially note that Drummunity is coming for a community drumming circle on Main Street and we'll be jamming with the high school jazz band! The project is funded by a bequest from a Morenci native who loved music so this is an especially fitting tribute. If you can't make it to the Grand Opening, stop by any time...whether or not we're open! I'm happy to answer questions (and very indebted to Larry Neal and Gretchen Krug of Clinton-Macomb Public Library who graciously answered my many questions and provided lots of information along the way). Thanks, Colleen Colleen Leddy, Director Stair District Library 228 W. Main St. Morenci, MI 49256 517.458.6510 stairlib.org M&W: 10-7 T&Th: 1-5 F&S: 10-2

The Local Community Stabilization Authority (LCSA) Act requires Treasury to make the eligible millage rate calculations available by May 1. The eligible millage rate calculations can be found on Treasury's 2023 PPT Reimbursements website<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVy…> under the "Millage Rate Comparison Reports" heading.

How to Review the 2023 Millage Rate Comparison Reports: * Verify Individual Millage Rate(s) Levied in 2022 * Municipalities should compare the individual millage rate(s) levied in 2022 on the 2023 Millage Rate Comparison Reports with the millage rates reported on their 2022 Form 614 - Tax Rate Request (L-4029). * Each millage rate reported on the 2022 Form 614 should be listed on the 2023 Millage Rate Comparison Reports (excluding special assessments). * Verify Calculated Millage Rate Used in the Computation * The calculated millage rates to be used in the 2023 PPT reimbursement calculations should equal the lesser of the eligible millage cap and the 2022 millage rate. * The Millage Rate Calculation tab of the Excel workbook provides information about how each eligible millage rate is calculated. * NOTE: Calculated eligible millage rates may be prorated and thus may not reflect the actual millage rates levied by the municipality. When NO Millage Rate Errors Are Identified: If a municipality does not identify an error in the 2023 Millage Rate Comparison Reports, the municipality does not need to file a form or take any further action to notify Treasury. When Errors ARE Identified: If a municipality does identify an error in the 2023 Millage Rate Comparison Reports, the municipality will need to complete the Form 5613<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVy…> - Millage Rate Correction for the 2023 Personal Property Tax Reimbursement Calculations to notify Treasury of the error(s).
