LM Topical Starter Collection Offer Update!
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 12 Aug '22

12 Aug '22

Thank you everyone who responded to our spring poll on the starter book collections. We are excited that the books will begin shipping soon. We have been able supply most of the requested collections. Libraries that requested from one to four different collections are receiving their full request. Libraries that requested all five collections are receiving either four or five collections. If your library staff completed more than one request survey for your library or library system, LM merged the requests so that you are getting no more than one of each requested collection. Each requested collection is being shipped separately. The books and shipping are fully prepaid by LM AND will be shipped via UPS from Emery Pratt. Starting in late August and September, keep an eye out for a box(es) from Emery Pratt with your books. We hope they are a welcome addition to your programming and your circulating collections. The collections are as follows: * ESL/Literacy Collection - 15 titles * Girls STEM Collection - 16 titles * JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) Collection - 13 titles * Refugee Development Collection - 13 titles * Workforce Development Part II - Trades Collection - 15 titles Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021, www.michigan.gov/lsta<http://www.michigan.gov/lsta> >>>4/29/2022<<< After the success of the Workforce Development Collection offer last year, the Library of Michigan is again offering starter collections. This year the collections will be approximately 10-15 print titles in 5 different areas. Specific titles will depend on bulk availability. * Girls STEM Collection * Refugee Development Collection * JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) Collection * ESL/Literacy Collection * Workforce Development Part II - Trades Collection The Library of Michigan will purchase the books and have them shipped via UPS to your library. We ask that you offer the titles to the public as soon as possible. We anticipate the materials will be available this summer. Materials will be shipped to your library from Emery Pratt. To request a set(s), fill out this survey<https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/6846021/Topical-Book-Collections> by May 27th. You may request one set per topic per library system. If requests are more than can be fulfilled, rural and small libraries will be given precedence. Eligible libraries are legally established public libraries.

Do any of your libraries allow for the donation of PTO from one employee to another? And if so, do you have a form that you use that I can get a copy of?

Alternative solutions to outreach for elderly patrons
by Director 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

Hello everyone, Our local newspaper announced today that they will be ceasing publication come this November 3rd. We relied on the newspaper heavily to reach elderly members of the community to share library news and upcoming events, as we have a dedicated section of the paper to submit columns for the library. Since they are discontinuing the newspaper, we will need to find other alternatives to engage these patrons, who usually are adverse to the usual methods of social media or a website (which we already also use, but see little engagement from older community members). I was wondering what other libraries do to reach these patrons if they do not have a local newspaper to rely on. I am happy to compile replies and send along to michlib if enough are interested in hearing responses. Thank you, Kelsey Rutkowski *--------------------------------------* *Library Director* *Indian River Area Library* 3546 S Straits Hwy PO Box 160 Indian River, MI 49749 (231) 238-8581 indianriverlibrary.org
