Suggestions Wanted: Audio Recasing
by Ted Gregory 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Hi, everybody, We're looking at recasing some Great Courses audio lectures and are trying to find a solution other than a standard audiobook case. The current packaging has six discs in a cardboard folder and the accompanying booklet, both inside a plastic case about 9x5.5x1 inches. The ideal solution would be either an exact replacement, or an audiobook-style case of the same dimensions. Any suggestions for either sources or other ideas would be appreciated. Thank you, -- Ted Gregory Mackinaw Area Public Library mackinaw1(a)gmail.com Find us online at http://www.mackinawareapl.michlibrary.org/ <http://mackinawareapubliclibrary.org/> and on Facebook! 528 W.

Presenter on Meeting the Needs of the Community
by Susan Bach 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Good Morning, I'm searching for someone to do a Trustee Retreat presentation on Meeting the Needs of the Community. This would be on the morning of Saturday, October 29. We're thinking of an hour long presentation. Last year I made a similar request and someone suggested Larry Neal, who spoke on the Future of Libraries. It was a fantastic presentation, so I'm trying my luck once again! Thank you so much for your help - this group is invaluable. Best, Susan Bach Library Director Tecumseh District Library 215 North Ottawa Street Tecumseh, MI 49286-1564 517-423-2238

Sharing Digital Movie Codes
by Anna Merritt 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Hello, This fall we are starting a Film Club at our library. Like a book club, but the patron watches the movie before the discussion. Since there are several services for video stream, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for services where the library could purchase a digital copy and share it with those attending. I am not sure where this lays on the legal spectrum. If we have a SWANK license, does this count towards digital content? Any advice or suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

Hello Library Land! I was emailed by a Guest who wants to donate some gently used Dutch Books (around 30). We don't have that language here (and it isn't in high demand). I was wondering if anyone would like it before I tell him no? Please let me know!

Our conference planners and presenters understand the constraints of shoestring budgets, small spaces, and limited staffing within small and rural libraries, as well as the unique opportunities for innovation and collaboration. Our conference is packed full of information you can take right back to your library-no scaling down required. Our conference theme is "Connecting at the Crossroads: On Track to Real Change." Our paths will converge this fall in Chattanooga, a city situated at the crossroads of highways, historic railroads, and the Tennessee River. Looking back at where we've come from, we will lay tracks toward where we want to be. We'll ask ourselves who we are, what we value, and what changes small and large we can bring back to our libraries. Together, we can work toward change that is real, sustainable, and equitable. Register today!<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Farsl.membe…> Conference Highlights * Networking opportunities to encourage you to make meaningful, lasting connections, including Dine-Arounds, receptions, the Crossroads Lunch, topic-specific meetups, and the app with an attendee social network. * 80+ sessions from experts and innovators in small and rural libraries across the country. * Virtual content available to all attendees to watch on demand through mid-December. * Preconference Workshops to give a deeper dive into topics of grant writing, social wellbeing, tough conversations, building projects, and advocacy. * Extracurricular activities to get you out exploring Chattanooga with new friends. * User-friendly app to help you navigate the conference with ease, build your schedule, find new connections, participate in community discussions, enter challenges to win prizes, and so much more. * Keynote events featuring a panel on book challenges and more exciting speakers to be announced soon! * Five meals included in your registration, plus refreshment breaks and receptions. * Exhibit Hall packed full of library-related vendors offering giveaways, discounts, and exclusive opportunities to conference attendees.

The sessions are directly applicable to small and rural libraries. It's inspiring to be around others who know exactly what you're experiencing and can provide practical advice and encouragement." - 2021 Conference Attendee "Turns out not only are small and rural libraries the best, but so is their annual conference! Our service areas may be smaller, but not our hearts, talents, work-ethics, and professionalism. This is the #1 conference to attend, for any size library." - Elektra Greer, Nederland Community Library, CO "I left the ARSL conference feeling rejuvenated! The pandemic has drained all of us, but spending time with excited librarians who want to make their communities the best they can be, made me remember why I love this profession." - Amanda Doherty, Mt. Pulaski Public Library District, IL "A life-changing opportunity! I felt like I was in college again - learning from lectures and meeting great new people every few minutes!" - Jake Wyrzykowski, Phillips Public Library, WI "I love the smart and scrappy ethic of this community. The great brains and huge hearts we get to meet when we are together are such an inspiration!" - 2021 Conference Attendee "ARSL continues to be the can't-miss conference for the many small and rural libraries whose big-hearted staff need tailored programs and the chance to chat with each other." - James LaRue, Garfield County Libraries, CO "I attended my very first ARSL conference 5 or 6 years ago and I remember feeling at home! I manage two very small, rural libraries, and most conferences are geared toward much larger, more urban libraries and it is hard to incorporate a lot of what you learn or hear about because it simply won't apply or you can't afford it in your library. ARSL is the place for those who work in and manage small and rural libraries!" - 2021 Conference Attendee "Every single person that I met, whether library staff or ARSL employees, had a huge smile and were welcoming and VERY open to sharing their knowledge. It was incredible to see just how far reaching ARSL is and how many people they are able to support through their fundraising and services. Having little knowledge of them prior to the conference, I will definitely be joining and look forward to helping with their cause in the future." - Stephanie Carvell, Hoke County Public Library, NC [https://s3.amazonaws.com/oasis-prod01-unlayer/1658265694124-ARSL22+Social+M…] [Image] Contact Info: The Association for Rural & Small Libraries PO BOX 33731, Seattle, WA 98133 (206) 453-3579 (call/text) info(a)arsl.org<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Farsl.membe…> Connect with Us: Facebook <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Farsl.membe…> Twitter <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Farsl.membe…> LinkedIn <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Farsl.membe…> The Association for Rural & Small Libraries * PO Box 33731, Seattle, Washington 98133, United States * 206-453-3579<tel:206-453-3579> [Powered by MemberClicks]<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.member…> ________________________________ The Association for Rural & Small Libraries * PO Box 33731, Seattle, Washington 98133, United States * 206-453-3579<tel:206-453-3579>
