Adult Services Program Recommendation
by Vicki Dixon 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Hello All, I wanted to put in a word for inspirational speaker, meditation teacher /retreat facilitator Brett Koon. The Northville District Library had Brett for a program on the meditation process. It was enlightening, and very well received by the community. Brett led the group in two timed meditations, encouraged discussion, answered questions, and shared anecdotes about his 30 years of experience in meditation. If you would like to have him come to your library for a wellness program, you can contact him at (248) 420-4372 or email him at [ mailto:energy.essence@yahoo.com | energy.essence(a)yahoo.com ] . Thank you. -- Vicki Dixon Head of Adult Services Northville District Library 212 W. Cady Street Northville, MI 48167 248-349-3020 x 220

MCLS Virtual Dialogue about Motivation - There's Still Time to Register!
by Jenny Kobiela-Mondor 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

How do you get motivated about doing the tasks that you really aren't looking forward to doing? What strategies can you learn from others to motivate yourself to get all that work done? Motivation is the topic of MCLS's first Virtual Dialogue of 2023, on Tuesday, January 17, at 10:30am-noon Eastern (9:30-11am Central). Registration is open now at https://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/virtual-dialogues-2023. One of the bright spots during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic was our Virtual Dialogue series, and we're thrilled to bring them back. The Virtual Dialogues aren't a webinar or workshop, but instead are an opportunity for librarians and library workers at all levels and in all library types to talk about issues impacting their work. During the dialogue, we will spend time sharing thoughts, ideas, and insights with other participants. Additional dialogues are planned for March 15, May 11, July 11, September 14, and November 15, on topics that are important to you! You can register at the link for one, a few, or all of the dialogues. We can't wait to engage with you!
