Reflection Rooms
by Bartles, Maryanne 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

Trying to gauge how many public libraries in Michigan offer reflection/meditation rooms for the public? A reflection room gives people the opportunity to practice their religion and/or relax for a couple of minutes in a clean area with little to no disturbances. Giving us one large room on the third floor will be fantastic for the community and the amazingly hard-working students who have great aspirations and require an area to practice their religion and clear their minds for a couple of minutes. I have seen many college libraries providing such rooms, but have yet to find a public library. https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2018/01/02/library-meditation-rooms-s… Feel free to email the group or me directly. Thanks in advance. Maryanne Bartles Library Director Dearborn Public Library 16301 Michigan Avenue Dearborn, Mi 48126 313-943-2049 [cid:image001.jpg@01D82D84.14D8DFC0]

Correction "Women in Jazz" Program is Tuesday, March 8th
by Jennifer Thomet 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

Please excuse this correction. The Interlochen Public Library invites you to celebrate Women's History Month with a Zoom presentation, "Women In Jazz," by Galen Abdur-Razzaq, on Tuesday, March 8, 2022, at 5 pm. Women have been involved in jazz since the early 1920s, not just as vocalists but as instrumentalists, composers, and arrangers. An understanding of jazz would not be complete without highlighting the influence and contributions of women—women such as Bessie Smith, Valaida Snow, Mildred Bailey, Mary Lou Williams, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughn. The goal is to provide an understanding, particularly of their personal lives, their ability to read music, perform, and survive when jazz was considered "a man's world." It also covers the full spectrum of years, genres, recordings, and recognized achievements. The lecture/performance includes the following: ⮚ The program begins with a brief performance by Galen followed by: ⮚ 60 minutes PowerPoint presentation with samples of artist's music ⮚ Galen performs at certain intervals of the presentation ⮚ 15 minute Q & A Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6133954178?pwd=NmdIL2ZqNVcyQVNUT2h4SzI0MnJiUT09 -- Interlochen Public Library 9411 Tenth St Interlochen MI 49643 231-276-6767 jthomet(a)tadl.org

Free: 3M Tattletape Sensitizer/Desensitizers
by Bruce MacDonald 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

We have three functional 3M tattletape sensitizer/desensitizers available. They are each 20” x 16.5” x 6.5”, and weigh 45 lbs. Sorry, shipping is not feasible. I would prefer to give all three to the same library. First of all, I need to know that someone wants them. I can set them aside and you can get them whenever you like, including if you are visiting Marquette later in the year. I can't guarantee that we can bring them to you, though if we ever have in-person conferences again, then.... maybe. New equivalents of these are still fairly expensive, so I would prefer not to recycle them if they are of use to another library. I already have three additional non-functional units to recycle. Please see attached photos. They tested good, but these are from the 1990s, so "as-is". - 2 x 3M model 955C. - 1 x 3M model 435. Bruce A. MacDonald Head of Technology / Assistant Director Peter White Public Library 217 N. Front St. Marquette, Michigan 49855 Voice 906.226.4307 Fax 906.226.1783 bmac(a)pwpl.info
