Upcoming program at Dearborn Public Library
by Henry Fischer 28 Jul '22

28 Jul '22

Hi everyone, We have an upcoming online program at Dearborn Public Library: Londinium: Roman London Saturday, July 30, 10 am EST Circa 50 CE the Romans founded the city of Londinium in the marshy Thames Valley, building the first iteration of what would become London. The city survived fire and rebellion, was home to up to 60,000 people and grew from a small trading port to the provincial capital of Britain. Ellen Green explores what day to day life would have been like in the city and how archaeologists are able to reconstruct the urban landscape from what was left behind. Ellen Green is a PhD researcher at the University of Reading in England, specializing in human remains. Prior to her return to academia she was a field archaeologist in London for 5 years, and she has worked on sites from every period in the city's history. She developed a love of archaeology through many visits to Roman ruins and castles in the UK over many vacations, which inspired a fascination with the past. She is also a big fan of Indiana Jones. If you would like to register, please visit the event calendar at dearbornlibrary.org. A Zoom link will be sent to your email or phone once you are registered. Thank you and have a good one, Henry Henry Fischer Librarian I Dearborn Public Library 16301 Michigan Ave. Dearborn, MI 48126 (313) 943-2341 dearbornlibrary.org https://twitter.com/DearbornLibrary https://www.instagram.com/dearbornlibrary/ https://www.facebook.com/dearbornpubliclibrary

APRA DIGITAL CONTENT SURVEYS For STAFF AND PATRONS!!!! Please post!!!
by Carol Dawe 28 Jul '22

28 Jul '22

Digital Content? Statewide Advertising? How great is it that your library received thousands of free audio and ebook content available in perpetuity through OverDrive for your community? And a statewide marketing campaign to let all residents know what is available at their local library? Pretty great, right? We agree! But we aren’t done yet…we need your assistance. Since these items were purchased with grant funds through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), certain requirements need to be completed as with any grant. So, can we count on you to help with the following three items? SURVEYS. Please click the link to complete the STAFF SURVEY about the digital eaudiobook and ebook content your library received. The survey for the public: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Mi83 Please share the PATRON SURVEY via email, newsletter, your website, and your Facebook or Instagram platforms. Responses will be collected from August 1 through September 9, 2022. The survey for library staff: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Mi83forLibraries STORIES AND TESTIMONIALS. For the last question on the surveys, we would love for you to share any stories or testimonials about the digital content items your library received through OverDrive. STAFF TESTIMONIALS: There are thousands of new audio and ebook titles available like job-seeking skills, educational needs, and health and wellness topics. Perhaps you have helped guide a patron to this new content? Maybe you had a program where not only did you promote the physical books you had on the same topic, but you also highlighted what was available on OverDrive with the new content? PATRON TESTIMONIALS: Have patrons commented about the television ads they have seen promoting MI Library is NOW? Have they seen the social media posts and wondered what YOUR library received through the grant? Please share your stories! THANKS TO LEGISLATORS. If someone gave you much-needed grant funds, you’d be sure to thank them, right? Well, federal legislators, through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), gave our state $4 million in ARPA funding. We need to make sure we let them know how much it means to libraries and our communities. Take a few minutes and say thank you. Not sure who to contact? Click here. On behalf of the Michigan Cooperative Directors Association, the Library of Michigan, and the Michigan Library Association, thank you for taking part in this statewide program! Funding for the MI-83 Digital Library Connection project is provided in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library of Michigan, an agency of the Michigan Department of Education. Project partners include the Michigan Library Cooperatives and the Michigan Library Association, Lakeland Library Cooperative, Mid-Michigan Library League, White Pine Library Cooperative, and Woodlands Library Cooperative. I want to thank Kate Andrade, Woodlands Library Cooperative, Sheryl Mase, Mid-Michigan Library League, Kate Van Auken, White Pine Library Cooperative, Debbie Mikula, Michigan Library Association and Janet Cornell, Terry Cross and Niki Johnson at Lakeland Library Cooperative for their extraordinary efforts this past year!
