Hello, library directors! New LM/UMSI project is now taking applications!

25 Oct '23

If you're a public library director in Michigan, this email is for you! In May 2023, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization formally ended COVID-19 as a global health emergency, formally ending three years of unprecedented changes to public libraries. What comes next for us? How do we reconnect with community members so we can better attune our services, maintain our foundational ideals in a changed landscape, tell more compelling stories of libraries’ access and impact, communicate more effectively with others, and bring staff along as we forge a “new normal” for our communities? Join the Library of Michigan and the University of MIchigan School of Information (UMSI) as we explore these and other questions in this free program for Michigan public library directors. We will select *100 Michigan public library directors* based on application <https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/apply/> to join us for monthly meetings from *January - December 2024. *Participants will be divided into 25-member cohorts *based on library class size* for monthly meetings over Zoom. Each session <https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/schedule/> focuses on a different angle of libraries’ “new normal” and features speakers from the field, communication and strategic experts, targeted activities, and open conversation. Additionally, each participant will receive a customized training session with communications experts from Hennes Communications, who will prepare them to better respond to challenging and difficult conversations, and can take advantage of a short community survey with analysis by UMSI. At the end of 12 months, each participant will share advice and celebrate growth by participating in a short presentation at either a *free face-to-face conference at the Library of Michigan (March 21, 2025)* or a *free virtual conference (April 25, 2025)*, where they’ll mingle and learn with those from the other cohorts. Workshop costs, conference hotel rooms, and a modest travel stipend are paid for by the Library of Michigan. *Applications <https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/apply/> are due Monday, November, 20, *at noon Eastern. Participants will be notified by December 24, 2023. To learn more, read our FAQ <https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/faqs/>or join/view our* Wed., 10/25 informational webinar* <https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/informational-webinar-wed-10-25-23-2p…> . *Got questions? **Stop by the UMSI session Thursday at 5:10pm at MLA, check out the website at http://bit.ly/michiganpppl <http://bit.ly/michiganpppl>, or email me!* -- Kristin Fontichiaro Clinical Professor University of Michigan School of Information 4427 North Quad 105 S.

Cash Register Replacement
by Debbie McHugh 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Even though Canton Public Library has gone fine free, we still have a need to collect cash and credit card payments. Our old register has exceeded its useful life and is in need of replacement. I am interested in hearing what other libraries have done in this situation. Did you replace your register with a newer model or changeover to a new (POS) system? Please reply directly to me at mchughd(a)cantonpl.org<mailto:mchughd@cantonpl.org> letting me know what you replaced your cash register with, how long the process took, and the pros and cons of your current system. Thank you, [cid:image001.png@01D82CA5.E525B7F0]
