The Michigan eLibrary<https://www.mel.org/welcome> eResources can connect you to fun activities all over our beautiful state. Whether you’re looking for a family adventure or a day away from everything, there are lots of options to keep you busy all summer. Michigan Blue<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> in MasterFILE Complete<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> offers some great options to take in the beauty of Michigan this summer. You can take A Walk in the Trees<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> in Whiting Forest and Dow Gardens<https://dowgardens.org/>. In addition to several miles of trails, the Canopy Walk, and a large playground, there will be a Big Bug exhibit from mid-July through October. Michigan is home to scenery that can’t be beat. Take in some Amazing Views<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> from a totally new vantage point by kayaking, canoeing, or even paddleboarding. Another option is to give Biking & Hiking<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> a try on the Top of Michigan Trails Network, 250-mile network of trails that winds through scenic northern Michigan. You’re sure to find beautiful overlooks, vegetation, and wildlife along the way. Whether you’re considering a Big Year<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> or just interested in casual bird-watching, Michigan Blue recommends the Marquette area as A Birder’s Paradise<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>. You might even find that your local library loans binoculars in their Library of Things. If you would like to take some bird photographs, the MeL eBook Public Library Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> offers The Complete Guide to Bird Photography: Field Techniques for Birders and Nature Photographers<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> to help you get started. Wandering along a shoreline and Picking Pretty Stones<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> might be one of the most relaxing pastimes you can enjoy this summer. With unique rocks such as fluorescent sodalite being found in the dark, you might consider planning several nighttime excursions such as visiting Headlands International Dark Sky Park<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> which, according to Midwest Living<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, offers a one-of-a-kind star-gazing experience. There are also options for those who love to golf. In fact, the Petoskey area is A Golfer’s Dreamland<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> with 17 various courses offering a challenge for every golfer, as well as unmatched views of majestic scenery. Michigan also boasts Sweetgrass<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, a National Golf Course of the Year, near Escanaba for those who want to take a shot at an award-winning course.

Cataloging "Light Novels"
by Adkins, Melissa 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Hi all, I'm wondering how you all are handling adding "light novels" to your Teen collections. If you are unfamiliar with the term, light novels are generally closely linked to manga-they are short, translated Japanese novels, usually with some manga-style illustrations. They're generally less than 50,000 words. Manga is very popular here, and I've gotten some requests for some of the related light novels. My question is-how are you cataloging these? They are not "chiefly illustrations" or set-up like average manga books, but they aren't exactly regular fiction either. Since they are often off-shoots of manga series, set in the same universes or featuring the same characters, my first thought is to go ahead and keep them in with the graphic novels, so the are easily found with the other volumes of the series. My goal is just to make everything easy for teens to find, and to try and increase circulation of things that might otherwise get lost in a large collection. But I see how it could be confusing for them to find a book with more words than pictures in that collection. Any input or help would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to contact me off list, and I am happy to compile responses if anybody else is interested. Thanks! Melissa Adkins Librarian I, Youth Services Dearborn Public Library

Niche Academy presents: A NEW FRONTIER - SETTING YOUR LIBRARY UP FOR REMOTE WORK SUCCESS
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

A NEW FRONTIER - SETTING YOUR LIBRARY UP FOR REMOTE WORK SUCCESS Wed June 22 at 2:00 pm US Eastern, 11:00 am US Pacific For many professions, working remotely is standard practice. For librarians, it is often seen as a wild and forbidden frontier. While we know that librarians are able to step outside the traditional library space, and into the comfort of an at-home office, or a sandy somewhere else, there needs to be productive - and sometimes difficult - conversations that lay the foundation for success. Join author and librarian Molly Virello as she discusses how librarians can lay the framework for successful remote work in a library setting. The focus of this webinar will be about the conversations library staff, managers, and other library leadership should have (or at least keep in mind) in order to create library-specific remote work policies, including laying out expectations, term limits, and criteria in order to facilitate working outside of traditional library spaces. These conversations can bring remote work that much closer for librarians, ranging in time from a few hours to a few months. If you're interested but not able to attend the live webinar, go ahead and register. We'll send a recording to all registrants after the fact.
