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.

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

6 inch letters for sign board
by Sara Ault 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

[image: IMG_2413.JPG] We have 2 sets of plastic 6-inch letters on 7 1/4-inch plastic for a signboard. The letters are blue on clear plastic and include special characters and #s in red. I will send them through rides if you can use them. Our A-frames self-destructed in a wind storm so the letters need a new home. -- Sara Ault Circulation Manager & Adult Collection Development Brandon Township Public Library 304 South St. Ortonville, MI 48462 248-627-1460 *ENGAGE **•** EDUCATE **•** ENRICH **•** EMPOWER*

I come from a long line of book lovers (my mom was a librarian!). Summer nights, cuddled up with my mom or grandmothers and a book are some of my most precious memories. I can’t wait to encourage other kids to do the same– to dig into the pages of their first chapter book, get lost in a picture book or pick up their first earlier reader and let their imaginations take them away! All Together Now is a beautiful testament to what I hope books can do for us all: connect and encourage acceptance of many different types of people. I’m so happy that Read With Jenna Jr. and CSLP are partnering for the summer to encourage kids to check out a book and start reading! I’m honored to be this year’s Reading Champion and promise to encourage library visits and beach reading, all summer long! As we read “All Together Now” this summer, I know we can help shape strong, empathetic young readers!!

I liked the idea shared at the summer symposium of the puzzle board, but wanted to expand on it to include more patrons. I eliminated the edge pieces in favor of organic edges so that the puzzle could grow as much as it was able to. I advertised on Facebook and put blank puzzle pieces at the front desk and at a coffee shop where the locals gather. The head of our local arts council is a regular patron, so I had him send out an email to the arts council about the showcase. I also contacted the librarians at all the schools in the area, who smoothed the way to get me in contact with the art teachers at each school in our parish. I ended up distributing 800 puzzle pieces to the elementary school and 200 to the middle school, and the art teachers left them for me to pick up. I also got all of the kids at our “alternative school” to decorate one (I deliver books to them every week, so we have a great rapport). I was really worried I wouldn’t get any puzzle pieces back, and my mural would be really small and sad. Instead, the opposite happened. I got over 750 puzzle pieces back, and when kids come in and look at the wall, they want to add to the wall, too! I have puzzle pieces out on our coloring sheet station and yesterday, the day of our first program, I got around 15 more to hang up. I’m so excited about this program, and about how beautiful our meeting room looks! Thank you for organizing the summer symposium and giving me the idea!
