First Amendment Audit
by Perri Saunders 15 Jan '22

15 Jan '22

Just had our first First Amendment Audit. It went very well, actually. I spotted them before they came in so we could gather ourselves for a minute - make sure no patron names were on screens, and the reserve shelf had no names showing, etc. Two people (man and woman) came in with cameras. I welcomed them from the circ desk as I would anyone else (maybe a *little* more enthusiastically). The man asked if we had the U.S. Constitution for Dummies and we talked about that a little. I offered to show them around, but they just wanted to walk around and film. We only had one patron in here at the time, so when the man started that way, I just told him that he was welcome to film anywhere in the public areas as long as he didn't interfere with other patrons' enjoyment of the library. We were respectful and, in turn, they were respectful, so it went just fine. They were here for about 15 minutes. I won't lie - it felt like longer. I know that this man, FRICN MEDIA, has lots of 1st Amendment Audit videos on YouTube, many of which turned confrontational. We were welcoming, forthcoming, and really boring. Score! Like Kate Andrade said, "It's not if, it's when". We might as well be prepared. Have a great day! Perri -- Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N. Kalamazoo St., P.O.

Anyone have a Bibliotheca RFID inventory wand we can borrow?
by Kay Schwartz 15 Jan '22

15 Jan '22

Hi, Michlib community, We are getting ready to open our renovated library with a new RFID system and have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do a full inventory on our newly-converted collection. HOWEVER, Bibliotheca cannot supply us with an RFID inventory wand (that they call a mobile DLA, I think) because their manufacturer has dropped the ball. Bibliotheca has said that if we could borrow a wand, we could reprogram it for our collection, then reprogram it back when we return it to the lending institution. Any help out there? We will pick up. Kay ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Kay Schwartz Director of Library Services, Flint Public Library 1026 E.
