Specific examples will be included so attendees leave with a very clear idea of what's worrisome and what isn't. This presentation will also include tips for interacting with loved ones with dementia and information on caregiver stress and burnout.

In truth, we have all lived through a traumatic experience, both individually and collectively. In order to move forward into our “New Normal,” we need to unpack some of that trauma, share our experiences, learn from them and in so doing, we become more resilient.

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.
