[Library of Michigan logo] Special Collections Update - May 21, 2022 New Law Librarian - Eric Kennedy, Library Catalog Changes, and What's That Growing There? [Eric Kennedy]Welcome to New Law Librarian - Eric Kennedy The Library of Michigan is excited to welcome Eric Kennedy as a new Law Reference Librarian to the Library's staff! Eric is a graduate of Michigan State University<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Telecommunications as well as holds a Master of Library and Information Science from Wayne State University<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. Eric comes to the Library of Michigan with a rich background in librarianship. He previously worked for Wayne State University Library System<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>, followed by serving several years as a Reference Librarian for Western Michigan University Cooley Law School (WMU-Cooley)<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. While at WMU-Cooley, Eric was honored by Michigan Lawyers Weekly as a member of their 'Unsung Legal Heroes' Class of 2018<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. Additionally, Eric has some past connections to the Library of Michigan. As a college student, Eric worked for the Library of Michigan at both the Michigan Avenue location (also known as the Dudley Building) and the Library's current location within the Michigan Library and Historical Center. He also participated as a member of the Michigan Notable Books<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> selection committee. Eric is an important addition to the Law Library reference team, doubling the staff. We hope you'll stop in soon to tell him "Hi!" ________________________________ [Coming Soon] Pending Library Catalog Changes The Library of Michigan's catalog software will undergo a complete change on June 30th. During the week prior to the change on the 30th, the Library's patron record system, catalog, and circulation system will be unavailable. However, there will be a manual process in place to record checked-out materials. Once the system goes live on June 30, there will still be several projects to refine the software in order to make sure everything is working properly. As that work is taking place, please be aware that some features of the catalog and check-out system may experience glitches. Furthermore, patrons will eventually need to change their library card pin numbers in order to use our electronic resources remotely. Instructions will be provided as we get closer to that part of the process. Thank you in advance for your patience during this transition! ________________________________ [What's that growing there] What's That Growing There?

Mid-afternoon Programs for Adults
by Anna Merritt 20 May '22

20 May '22

Hi All, We are considering hosting a monthly program for adults this fall that would take place in the mid-afternoon during the week. Right now, all of our adult programs are at night, but we want to offer something for those free during the day (retirees, stay-at-home parents, 2nd shift workers, etc.) Is there any libraries that host mid-day programs for adults? If so, what kind of activities do you do? Crafts? Speakers? Discussions? Is the event well attended? Any ideas or suggestions would be extremely helpful! Have a great day!

Closing Soon - Director - Montclair Public Library (NJ)
by Beth Barker 20 May '22

20 May '22

Director – Montclair Public Library (NJ) Change lives every day, through words, ideas, and community building in Montclair (NJ) as the next Director of the Montclair Public Library<https://montclairlibrary.org/>. The Board of Trustees seeks candidates who want to expand opportunities for Montclair’s almost 41,000 residents. The municipal library, through its early literacy efforts, the Open Book Open Mind conversation series, and its Adult School of Montclair, focuses on lifelong education. With a committed staff of 24.69 FTE, an annual budget of $3.8 million from Montclair Township, and additional support from the Montclair Public Library Foundation and Montclair Library Friend groups, the Library provides stellar programs and services inside and outside the four walls of its two locations. The new Director will build relationships with the staff and community, work collaboratively with cultural and educational institutions, share a compelling story about the library to stakeholders, work with the leadership of the Montclair Library foundation to successfully guide fundraising efforts, and embrace the spirit of the Montclair community. Responsibilities. The Library Director, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, manages and directs the operations of the library. Specific responsibilities include understanding and aligning the organizational culture; developing and recognizing staff talents; successfully designing and implementing library programs and services; managing the Library’s public relations and marketing program; working strategically with the senior management team; planning, justifying, and executing the Library’s budget; collaborating with the Library Foundation and Friends groups; developing entrepreneurial activities; working closely with the Township of Montclair and the Board of Education; actively engaging and partnering with other community agencies and organizations; and being active in local, state, and national professional activities. The Montclair Public Library consists of two buildings: the Main Library at 50 South Fullerton Avenue and the small, historic Bellevue Avenue Branch Library at 185 Bellevue Avenue. The Director is responsible for all aspects of both buildings and the people that work in them, along with cultivating good relationships with neighbors and the entire community. Minimum qualifications are a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science, five years of executive managerial experience, and possession of (or eligible for) the professional librarian’s certificate issued by the New Jersey Department of Education. High priority qualifications include skill and success in working, developing, and hiring personnel and building successful teams; knowledge of best practices in library technologies; experience developing and administering budgets; strong oral and written communication skills; customer focus and excellent public relations skills; ability to build trust and effective internal and external partnerships; facilitating change; leading through strategic planning and goal setting. Prior success in reporting to a governing board, successful fundraising experience, and working with local officials are highly desirable. Montclair— a vibrant community of small shops, studios, restaurants, and professional services—is considered the arts and cultural capital of northern New Jersey. Closely linked with the growth of New York City, the burgeoning area— racially, ethnically, and economically diverse—is enlivened by a notable art colony and the work being done by the Montclair Center Business Improvement District. Residents have excellent and innovative schools, museums, churches, and many other places to find a sense of belonging. The Montclair Board of Education and the Montclair Public Library work together. Montclair provides for the education of the town’s children via eleven public Magnet Schools, offering STEM, International Studies, and the Arts. These are just a few of the variety of curriculum options for families. Montclair also provides a range of lifelong learning for adults; many of these opportunities are through the Library. Today, eclectic, and exuberant Montclair embraces its diverse cultural heritage and still nourishes the rich artistic expressions that took root more than a century ago. Jazz clubs, theatrical companies, shops and boutiques, galleries, and trendy restaurants are among the many amenities that attract residents and visitors alike. Compensation. The position offers a hiring salary range of $125,000-$140,000 (dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an attractive benefits package. For further information, contact Bradbury Miller Associates<https://bradburymiller.com/>.

`Greed in the Gilded Age' with author, William Hazelgrove: May 24th, 6pm ~ Zoom Program
by Amy Abele 19 May '22

19 May '22

Please share with your library staff and community! You are invited to join the Bridgman Public Library as we welcome *author William Hazelgrove **on Tuesday, May 24th at 6:00pm via Zoom. Hazelgrove will talk about his book `Greed in the Gilded Age.'* *Book Summary:* *She came from nothing and had no education. But she managed to face down the richest man in the world in open court, live like a queen, and take down a banking system. Her name was Cassie Chadwick and by claiming to be Andrew Carnegie's illegitimate daughter she led a life of luxury only to be caught and put on trial in the Trial of the Century – a trial so engrossing it eclipsed the inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt.* *This Gatsby-like tale includes mystery, money, sex, and scandal. ‘Millionaire’ was a new term in America and Cassie Chadwick was front page news. Using these newspaper articles, Hazelgrove tells the story of one of the greatest cons in American history.* Please join the meeting here: *https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83287211765?pwd=ZzZyQ2Y5ZzhNRlJyeXlWZ1B0U1AxZz09#success <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83287211765?pwd=ZzZyQ2Y5ZzhNRlJyeXlWZ1B0U1AxZz09#…>* Hope to see you Tuesday! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amy Abele amy(a)bridgmanlibrary.com Bridgman Public Library 4460 Lake Street Bridgman, MI 49106 269-465-3663 www.bridgmanlibrary.com
