Speaker Recommendation
by Tracy Wilson (Roseville Public Library) 27 Jan '23

27 Jan '23

We had Claire Dahl from Yankee Air Museum at our library earlier this week to speak on Willow Run and the Story of Rosie the Riveter. She was great to work with and a very informative and entertaining speaker. More than one patron commented on how much they enjoyed the program and everyone stayed to the end (always a good sign!). You can reach her at: apqueen.claire(a)gmail.com Tracy Wilson Assistant Director/Adult Services Coordinator (P) 586-447-4552 twilson(a)roseville-mi.gov rosevillelibrary.org<http://rosevillelibrary.org> [1506800616286_PastedImage] <https://www.facebook.com/RosevillePublicLibraryMI>

Small school setting up library needs suggestions
by Julianne Novetsky 27 Jan '23

27 Jan '23

Hello librarian hive mind! I work with a local middle school/high school that is small and privately funded. They are struggling to set up their library because they don't have any librarians on staff and don't know where to start. I am putting together a list of recommendations to help them start the process, but I was wondering if anyone with experience has any advice? Maybe you have worked with a school like this before, or even have a small public library that you helped set up. In particular, I am interested in any ILS or similar resources that are free since I don't think they have a large budget. I realize there may not be a free ILS, but maybe you or a library you know uses something in place of an ILS that is free? Thanks for your suggestions! If anyone is interested, I can always summarize what I find out.
