Sad news to share - Donna Olson
by Paulina Poplawska 13 Jun '22

13 Jun '22

Donna Olson passed away Friday morning. She was the Library Director at Salem-South Lyon District Library from 2016 until her retirement February 4, 2021 following a long career of public service. Prior to SSLDL, she spent 14 years as an Information Specialist at Howell Carnegie District Library. She worked tirelessly to put library resources into the hands of the community for library users and non-users alike. Donna believed that "The finest libraries are not only buildings - they are a vision and a service, the best of ourselves that we offer to others." One of her greatest accomplishments as Director was the $1.2 million Youth Expansion in June 2019. The expansion has provided an additional meeting room, Tween area, and additional space for our growing community. SSLDL will continue to benefit from her leadership for many years to come. Her family intends to have a celebration for her in the months to come. -- Paulina Poplawska Library Director Salem-South Lyon District Library 9800 Pontiac Trail, South Lyon, MI 48178 248.437.6431 x206 www.ssldl.info

Summer survey preview
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 13 Jun '22

13 Jun '22

Hello Summer Library Programmers! CSLP has created a survey so they can better assess the usefulness of the materials offered by the program on a national level to better serve you, the CSLP membership! It's not open yet, but I've had a few questions already so I wanted to share these FAQ's out from CSLP. FAQs Who should complete the survey? The audience for the survey is public library staff who played an active role in administering or running 2022 summer library programming. One person per library could fill it out, or multiple library staff from the same library could complete the sections of the survey most relevant to their work; e.g. children, teen, or adult programs. * Please coordinate with your colleagues on who will fill it out, especially if you are in a multi-branch system. * This does NOT need to be filled out by Directors. (Adult/YA/Children program overseers can complete their own portions.) * EVEN IF YOU DID NOT USE "Oceans of Possibilities!" AS YOUR THEME, we invite you to complete the survey! Is this survey required? No, it is not required, but we would appreciate your input. Every library that responds helps us get a more accurate picture of overall satisfaction with the program. I want to be prepared. What info will I need to provide? * General feedback on using (or not) the 2022 program theme and materials; * Feedback and info about how/whether you tracked participation, as well as stats for participation and event/programming numbers for children (ages 0-11), teens (12-18) and adults. You may skip any questions for which you don't have the answers. I suggest you wait until your summer program has ended to complete the survey. When does the survey close? The survey opens soon and will be through Friday, September 9, 2022. Happy kick-offs to you all, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
