Roseville Public Library In-Person/Virtual Program: Mental Health and the Holidays
by Rachel Smith (Roseville Public Library) 12 Dec '22

12 Dec '22

Hello Michigan Library Land, I am very excited to announce that the Roseville Public Library has partnered with our local Mental Health org, Macomb County Community Mental Health, to provide our patrons with a program which will discuss how to help yourself and others with mental health struggles that can crop up/be worsened by the end of the year holidays. We felt this was a very important to discuss, especially with the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the grief of losing so many loved ones. In order to reach those who are unable to visit the library in-person, or those who are uncomfortable talking about these topics around others, we will be offering this program virtually. Leslie Styer of MCCMH will be at the Roseville Public Library in person and we will stream the program via Zoom for everyone else. While the organization and some of the resources may be local to Macomb County, I believe anyone can benefit from the topics that will be discussed. Please feel free to promote this program to your staff or patrons, and attend yourself. The program is this Wednesday, December 14, 2022, 6pm-7:30pm. Please register on our calendar here: http://rosevillelibrary.org/wordpress/event-calendar/#/events/Q1xn7VAAOo/in… If you provide your email, you will be sent a confirmation email and a day-before reminder email with the information, Zoom link & Meeting ID. If you have any questions, or have issues registering, please email me at rsmith(a)roseville-mi.gov.

Fax Services
by NW Amy Stockwell 12 Dec '22

12 Dec '22

We have a traditional fax machine that has officially decided to go out to pasture. Now is the perfect time to consider moving into the 21st century on this service. Can anyone recommend a fax service that we should look into rather than purchasing another machine? Thanks!

Job Posting: Flint: seeking 2 adult librarians and one children's!
by Kay Schwartz 10 Dec '22

10 Dec '22

(Sorry for second posting: forgot to put keywords "job posting" in the subject line! - K) Hi, everyone, At Flint Public Library, we are seeking two adult librarians and a children's learning specialist (children's librarian). This is a rare opportunity to join a team of dedicated staff who serve a community that loves and supports its library. Last spring, we completed a renovation that created a "like-new" library building with twice the space for children, twice the space for digital services, a dedicated local history and genealogy space, and 19 public meeting rooms. There's even an "eating area" in both the adult and children's spaces. The new library is ready to be activated with new programs and services. You can be a part of that! Posting closes January 6, 2023. https://www.fpl.info/jobs ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Kay Schwartz Executive Director, Flint Public Library 1026 E.

FW: Michigan's Minimum Wage Set to Increase, Challenge the FCC's Broadband Map and more!

[LEO Banner] Michigan's Minimum Wage Set to Increase on January 1, 2023 [Waiter placing coffee on table.]On January 1, 2023, Michigan's minimum wage rate will increase from $9.87 to $10.10 per hour as set by Michigan's Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act of 2018<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> establishing the annual schedule of increases. Effective January 1, 2023: * The minimum hourly wage will increase to $10.10 per hour. * The 85% rate for minors aged 16 and 17 will increase to $8.59 per hour. * The tipped employee rate of hourly pay increases to $3.84 per hour. * The training wage of $4.25 per hour for newly hired employees ages 16 to 19 for their first 90 days of employment remains unchanged. There is pending litigation that might affect this minimum wage increase: * In 2018, a petition initiative organized by One Fair Wage sought to allow voters to decide on raising Michigan's minimum wage to $12 an hour by 2022 and raise the minimum wage for tipped workers to 80% of the standard minimum wage in 2022, 90% in 2023 and ultimately match it in 2024. * The Legislature adopted the legislation and then amended it in 2018, putting in lower wage thresholds that increased the minimum wage to $12.05 by 2030 instead of 2022 and kept the tipped minimum wage at 38% of the standard one. As a result, the state's current hourly minimum wage is $9.87 and $3.75 for workers who are expected to make up the difference in tips. * The Legislature's amendment has been challenged in court as unconstitutional. On July 19, 2022, the Court of Claims issued a decision that agreed with that challenge and voided the amended versions of the Michigan Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act and Paid Medical Leave Act in favor of their original, unamended versions. * On July 29, 2022, the Court of Claims entered an order staying the effect of this decision until February 19, 2023, to give employers and the relevant state agencies time to accommodate the changes required by the ruling. * The Court of Claims' ruling has been appealed. Pending final resolution of the appeal, and lifting of the stay, under the potential implementation of the originally adopted petition, the minimum wage rate for 2023 would be $13.03 and $11.73 for tipped employees.

[Orange Divider] The Michigan High-Speed Internet Office is Urging Every Michigander to Challenge the FCC Broadband Map [Internet cables]LEO's High-Speed Internet Office (MIHI) is encouraging all Michiganders to challenge the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) new National Broadband Map. Since high-speed internet is not available to nearly half a million homes in Michigan, the state is urging every Michigander to check their home and business address on the preliminary broadband map to ensure it accurately reflects their level of internet access. MIHI is working to challenge the map too, but it's important for everyone across the state to know how to view and challenge the map. Here's how to access the FCC broadband map: 1. Visit broadbandmap.fcc.gov/home here<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>, then type in an address and see if the reported coverage is accurate. You can access the site from a computer or a mobile device. 2. Residents can submit a challenge by clicking "Location Challenge" if the location of their home or business is missing or incorrect, or "Availability Challenge" if the internet service information is incorrect. 3. Residents should visit the website of any internet service provider that claims to serve their location and use the website's "Check Availability" or similar tool to determine if the provider can serve their location. 4. If they can't, a screenshot of their website can be submitted to the FCC as evidence for an Availability Challenge. To ensure an accurate map is used for funding decisions, all challenges must be submitted by January 13, 2023.
