Hello All, We are considering the use of Venmo for our book sale this year as most of our patrons tend to not carry cash. If you have used or currently use Venmo for your library, please reach out to me and let me know how your experience was, if you had/have any issues with it, and how you have integrated it into your library. Thank you very much, Faith Fetty Adult Services Librarian Henika District Library wayff(a)llcoop.org (269)792-2891 ext. 302

Recommendations for delivery of materials to home-bound residents
by Jacalynn Harvey (Roseville Public Library) 25 Apr '23

25 Apr '23

Good afternoon, My library established a "Materials by Mail" program approximately 30 years ago to provide permanent or temporary home-bound residents with library materials at no cost to the patron. The service uses a business reply mail account through the local post office for delivery and return of each cloth mailing pouch. This program worked very successfully until the last five or so years when the postal service seemed to implode - before COVID and before the staff shortages we see now. Many mistakes on being made at our local post office and they are not taking responsibility for them. I would like to investigate other delivery services. It is not an option for us to have staff or volunteers (if we had an abundance of either) make the deliveries. I would appreciate any alternatives. Regards, Jacalynn Harvey Director Roseville Public Library 29777 Gratiot Avenue Roseville, MI 48066 586-447-4550 586-445-5407 Library General Information 586-445-5499 FAX [1506967672552_PastedImage] www.rosevillelibrary.org www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI<http://www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI> https://twitter.com/rsvlibrary https://www.instagram.com/rsvlibrary/ <http://www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI> <http://www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI>

Language Learning Database Query
by Shannon O'Leary 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Hi All! We are currently checking around for new language learning databases! While we are happy with our current one, it never hurts to see what's out there. Could you all assist us by answering a few questions? (If you want the compiled results we would be more than happy to share). Feel free to reply off-list! What language database do you have? How much is it per year? Does it have an app? Does it have ESL courses? Does it have a Citizenship Course? How many different languages does it have? (just a count is fine) What has your interaction with the company been like? (for example tech support help or customer service) What kind of promotional materials are offered? Do you and/or your patrons like it? Anything else about this database you feel we should know? Many many thanks!
