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.*
