FW: Special Collections Update -- New Year's Eve 2022
by Oster, Adam (MDE) 31 Dec '22

31 Dec '22

Happy New Year!, 2022 in Review, Ancestry.com Library Edition, & Local History Collection Evaluations [Library of Michigan logo] Special Collections Update - New Year's Eve 2022 Happy New Year!, 2022 in Review, Ancestry.com Library Edition, & Local History Collection Evaluations [LM Interior]Happy New Year from the Library of Michigan! The Library of Michigan's staff wishes you all the best in the New Year! As we finish up 2022, we still have a few holiday closures to work around. The Library of Michigan will be closed from Thursday, December 29 at NOON through Monday, January 2 for the New Year's Holiday. We will return to our normal schedule starting on Tuesday, January 3: Monday through Friday 10AM - 5PM Saturdays 10AM - 4PM ________________________________ 2022 in Review at the Library of Michigan As we soon transition from 2022 to 2023, it's important to reflect back on the last 12 months of activities for the Library of Michigan's Special Collections staff. 2022 brought a wide range of "New" throughout the year. Three new faces joined the Special Collections ranks in the form of Library Technician Betsy Bacon, Law Reference Librarian Eric Kennedy, and Digitization Librarian Jennifer Sasota. The Library of Michigan's website went through a complete refresh as part of a multiyear statewide website content management replacement project<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> to update and replace over 110 State of Michigan executive branch websites. Adam Oster and Jennifer Sasota worked with Library Development's Becky Wartella to transition the Library of Michigan's website through this process. Two new study rooms are now available in the Law Library for small-group meetings or individual study. Additional online resources continue to be added to our remotely accessible database collection<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. ReadMichigan.org<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>'s collection of Michigan publications has expanded with more titles. Furniture original to when the Library of Michigan first opened in 1988 has been replaced with updated pieces that both meet modern needs as well as stay true to the original style and feel of the facility. Finally, the Library updated its catalog system, which staff continue to refine and improve. Special Collections staff have equally balanced the "New" with keeping up valuable, longstanding services and traditions. The 2022 Night for Notables event was the largest celebration of Michigan Notable Authors in recent memory. 3 years of Michigan Notable Books<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> authors (2020, 2021, and 2022) where honored during the Night for Notables event on April 30, 2022, which featured musician, activist, and 2019 Michigan Notable Books honoree Wayne Kramer as the keynote speaker. The Library of Michigan has proudly taken on the administration of the Michigan Author Award<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. Historian Larry Massie was honored at the beginning of 2022 as the 2021 Michigan Author Award recipient. Furthermore, Library of Michigan perseveres in celebrating and promoting literacy as the home to the Michigan Center for the Book<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. Engagement with our patrons occurred in a wide variety of ways in 2022. Staff served the residents of Michigan through virtual/in-person programs, tours, providing speakers for organizations, and assisting Michigan libraries/historical organizations in evaluating their local history collections. Special Collections explored new opportunities to partner with sister divisions within the Michigan Department of Education<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> to promote literacy, reading, and research skills. Staff also worked to promote the Library of Michigan's collections and services to State of Michigan employees throughout the Lansing Capitol Complex and to the outstate facilities across all of Michigan. Many activities from 2022 will serve as a building block for future patron engagement in 2023. A key partnership in 2022 has been collaborating with our good friends at the Michigan State Capitol to develop a joint exhibit honoring former State Librarian Harriet Tenney. Partnerships are invaluable and Special Collections looks forward to expanded cooperation with the Michigan State Capitol staff as well as with other organizations such as the Historical Society of Michigan<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>, Historical Society of Greater Lansing<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>, and many more. It is equally vital in enlisting the assistance of our patrons in tracking down rare and unique items to add to the Library's collections. The #HelpLMFind hashtag campaign has been a fun way to alert patrons of the Library's needs and it will continue into 2023. Thank you for joining the 2022 journey with the Special Collections staff of the Library of Michigan! We look forward to all that 2023 has to offer.

Special Collections staff will make onsite visits to provide a wide range of guidance as organizations tailor their collections to best fit their mission and community. Topics discussed often include determining the scope of the collection, developing collection development policies, identifying programming and promotion opportunities, and other relevant procedure considerations. Recently Reference Librarian Matt Pacer and Michigan Documents Librarian Bernie Bartlett made visits to Herrick District Library<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> in Holland and Flat River Community Library<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> in Greenville. Both libraries are evaluating their local history collections and had really productive conversations during the visits. Any library or organization looking for a Local History Collections evaluation visit can schedule one by emailing Librarian(a)Michigan.gov<mailto:Librarian@Michigan.gov> or calling 517-335-1477. Be sure to also check out the Local Materials Collection Guide<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> that is on the Library of Michigan's website, which provides a basic framework for developing, maintaining and promoting a local materials collection.

FREE Vision Assistance Tech
by AW Cierra Bakovka 29 Dec '22

29 Dec '22

Hi all, We had a patron come in whose father passed. He was legally blind and she wanted to donate some of his vision assistance equipment. We received 2 of the same thing, so it seems selfish to keep both. Therefore, FREE TO GOOD HOME: 19" Enhanced Vision Acrobat LCD with remote. Appears to have been purchased in 2008, but has been tested and both work. New models retail for $2,500-$3,500. Has auto focus 3-in-1 camera for seeing yourself up close, reading and distance viewing as well as multiple color and zoom settings. The only thing is we only have one manual, but we would be happy to make you a photocopy. (here's a link to a newer version, same brand ( [ https://www.enhancedvision.com/low-vision-product-line/acrobat-hd-ultra.html | https://www.enhancedvision.com/low-vision-product-line/acrobat-hd-ultra.html ] ) All we ask it that you come and get it. First come, first serve. Happy New Year! Cierra Bakovka, MLIS She/Her Director Henika District Library 149 South Main St. Wayland, MI 49348 269-792-2891 ext. 309 waycb(a)llcoop.org

Looking for Program Partners - 48 hour Spark Joy Program
by Chelsey Boss 29 Dec '22

29 Dec '22

Hello Library Land, I am looking for a few libraries that would like to partner together for Shannon Huneycutt's 48 hour Spark Joy Program in the springtime (April-May). There is no limit on the number of attendees for this program. The cost of the program is $400 with an option to add-on a 15 minute live Q&A session for an additional $50. Shannon allows up to 6 libraries to partner together to share the cost. Let me know if you are interested, below is the program description from Shannon. *The 48-hour Spark Joy Program Includes:* A custom viewing page to which your staff and patrons will have access for 48 hours. They can visit the page and view the presentation and perks on their own time. A 60-minute recorded presentation in which participants will learn the philosophy behind the KonMari Method and discover what it means to live a life that Sparks Joy. We will dive into the guiding principles needed to tidy once and for all! Attendees will leave feeling energized and motivated to Spark Joy in their space and create the home and life they’ve always dreamed of. A folding demonstration in which attendees will practice the famous KonMari vertical folding technique. Attendees will be asked to have a t-shirt and a pair of pants with them during the presentation. The folding links will be provided for attendees to download. Attendees will receive a Spark Joy Charlotte tidying checklist that breaks apart the KonMari categories, making it easier to apply the method in their homes. I reference this checklist many times as I teach the attendees the given categories and provide helpful tips for executing the Joy check. (Plus a few of my favorite storage solutions!) I will have a giveaway. One attendee will win a virtual Jumpstart guide to help them get started on their journey. A frequently asked questions section will share my insight into some of the most common pitfalls when tidying. Thank you, *Chelsey Boss* Assistant Director Adrian District Library 143 E. Maumee St. Adrian, MI 49221 517.265.2265 (o) 517.759.3195 (f) *Adrian’s place to connect, explore, and learn.*
