Teen Special Effects Makeup Program
by Cheyenne Smigiel 15 Aug '23

15 Aug '23

Hello, My colleague and I are aiming to put on a special effects makeup workshop for teens in high school, this October. We have reached out to one company already, but found their prices to be a bit out of our budget. If anyone has done something like this before in their library, we would appreciate recommendations for businesses who offer this type of class / workshop. Any other tips and suggestions are also welcome. Thank you! -- Cheyenne Smigiel PT Youth Services Librarian Saint Clair Shores Public Library (586) 771-9020 Ext. 1569

Circulation of Vox Books with IR Glasses question
by Alicia Ford 15 Aug '23

15 Aug '23

Hello, We recently received 4 IR Vox books with interactive, reusable goggles in one of the collections of Vox books (High Interest readers) shipped this summer by Library of Michigan to requesting libraries (see attached pic for reference). As these are our first talking books with IR goggles, I wondered if anyone already circulating these would be willing to share how they were doing so? Anyone have to purchase special bags to hold both the goggles and the Vox book? I can be emailed off-list at alicia(a)colomapubliclibrary.net <mailto:alicia@colomapubliclibrary.net> . Thanks so much, Alicia Ford Assistant Director Coloma Public Library 151 W. Center St. P.O. Box 430 Coloma, MI 49038 (269) 468-3431

FREE!
by Betsy Myers 15 Aug '23

Tonight we are hosting (another) Michigan author program via Zoom, free for everyone! This is the last one in a series of amazing authors donating their time and supporting libraries. If you haven't read anything by* Susie Finkbeiner <https://catalog.tadl.org/main/search?query=finkbeiner%2C+susie>*, you are missing out. Her book, *All Manner of Things* was a 2020 Michigan Notable Book! Her newest, *The All-American* just came out a couple weeks ago and is perfect for summer. Please join us, meet her, ask questions, help me make this a great event for another author who supports libraries and has written some fantastic books. Who knows, you may find your next favorite author tonight or be able to truly recommend Susie's books to patrons based on first hand knowledge from the author. You in? * Tonight, 6:30pm, register at tadl.org/finkbeiner <http://tadl.org/finkbeiner>.* (Maybe...just maybe...I will give you a peek of my new-newfoundland puppy, George. Who doesn't like puppies?!) -- *Betsy Myers* Reference Department Interlibrary Loan/Programming *Traverse Area District Library* 610 Woodmere Ave Traverse City, MI 49686 231 932-8502
