Hello great minds! The St. Charles District Library is thinking about hosting meditation classes by donation. Has anyone hosted mediation at their library? And if so, what should I be aware of, is there anything I should be concerned with in hosting such a class? Any and all feedback would be great! Thank you.

Happy Monday! For the past few years the Library of Michigan has provided editable PDFs for Michigan public libraries to enter their programming and contact information on and use for promoting your summer library programs. I'm a little behind in this action this year, so here are the final files for the Summer Reading Logs for you directly: https://bit.ly/OceansLogs. Again, each one has editable fields for you to edit/fill as you see fit, or you can print as-is. These files will be available later this week on the LM website<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/youth/srp>, as well as in the "Additional Materials" folder in the CSLP Online Manual<https://www.cslpreads.org/2022-oceans-of-possibilities/>, but feel free to access and download them today at https://bit.ly/OceansLogs. (To edit a PDF you can use Acrobat DC<https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/how-to/pdf-editor-pdf-files.html>, or you can search online for tips on how to edit without Acrobat.)

Ransom District Library hosted Holocaust survivor, author, and educator Irene Miller last week and I would like to recommend her.

We had an excellent turnout to hear her speak and we were honored to have the opportunity to share her story with so many community members. Her contact information is on her website: http://www.irenemillerspeaker.com/ Analiese Mattson Head of Patron Services Ransom District Library 180 S.
