Library SWAG
by Maria Williams 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

Dear Michlib- It's time for us to order some library SWAG (Stuff We All Get), and I'd like to know if you've got a freebie that patrons seem to really love? Color-changing pencils? Bentcils shaped like books? Mini reading logs? Light up yo-yos? Additionally, if you have a vendor you'd recommend please share that as well. Thanks, Maria Maria Williams Assistant Director Northville District Library 212 W. Cady Street Northville, MI 48167 248-349-3020, ext. 208 [ mailto:mwilliams@northvillelibrary.org | mwilliams(a)northvillelibrary.org ] [ https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/9555257?utm_medi… | Currently Reading ] [ https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/9555257?utm_medi… ] [ https://www.goodreads.com/?utm_medium=gr_logo&utm_source=email_signature | ] [ https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_instructions?utm_medium=gyo_… | Get your own email signature ]

Request for Information on newspaper digitization project
by Amanda Hanson 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

Hello, I am looking for advice on how to implement a newspaper digitization project. Has anyone successfully accomplished this in the recent past? Did you use a service or buy any specialized equipment and do it in-house with library staff? How much did you digitize (how many years' worth of newspapers) and how long did it take? Thanks for any insight or advice you can provide. Have a great day, Amanda H. [Logo]<https://www.cityofzeeland.com/> Amanda Hanson | Director Howard Miller Library & Community Center 14 S.

"Who Stole My Leg" - Missing Pages
by Lorry Traver 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

Hello all, For anyone who purchased this children's picture book from B&T, it appears there are some missing pages. I was curious if anyone else has noticed their copy missing pages. The pages are not numbered so sadly I am not sure which pages are missing. I have not reached out to B&T yet because I just discovered this today. Thanks all!

WEBINAR CANCELLATION
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

Hello: Due to the Court of Appeals ruling on Thursday January 26, 2023 in Mothering Justice v. Attorney General https://www.courts.michigan.gov/48ffb3/siteassets/case-documents/uploads/op… , which overruled the earlier Court of Claims decision, the changes in minimum wage and sick leave set to start February 19, 2023, will not be implemented. Because it is uncertain if or when any changes to these laws will be implemented, pending a possible Michigan Supreme Court appeal, or legislative action, we are canceling the Webinar with Mike Blum scheduled for this Friday, 2/3/2023 at 10:00am. If this situation changes, and the Michigan Supreme Court or the Michigan Legislature amend the existing laws, we will present a webinar at that time. Thanks for your understanding in this unusual situation! Sincerely, Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.
