Barcode vendors
by Kat Boyer 14 Sep '21

Hello all, We used to get our barcodes from Verso (our circ system), but apparently they don't supply them anymore and said I had to find my own, but they didn't have recommendations. I need help and figured I'd ask where you all get your barcode labels.

Hastings has a free zoom event coming up we'd like to share with you! The Cultural Phenomenon of Home DNA Testing To Be Presented by Libby Copeland Over Zoom. Register at https://www.hastingspubliclibrary.org/news-events/news/libby-copeland-autho… The presentation will explore the extraordinary cultural phenomenon of home DNA testing, which is redefining family history. It will draw on Libby Copeland's years of research for her new book The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is Upending Who We Are (Abrams, 2020), which The Wall Street Journal calls "a fascinating account of lives dramatically affected by genetic sleuthing." With more than 37 million people having been tested, a tipping point has been reached. Virtually all Americans are affected whether they have been tested or not, and millions have been impacted by significant revelations in their immediate families. Hope to see you there!

"Libraries as Community Anchors" mini-conference Registration and Proposal Submission
by White, Shannon (MDE) 13 Sep '21

Library 2.021: Libraries as Community Anchors Online Conference - October 21, 2021 Submit a Proposal: https://www.library20.com/callforproposals Have you addressed challenges associated with digital equity, access, and inclusion, as well as issues of security and privacy? Have you successfully worked to provide baseline, public, computer and internet access? Do you see your library as a "Community Anchor Institution?" If so, please consider submitting a proposal for this year's Library 2.0 conference: "Libraries as Community Anchors," which will take place on October 21, 2021. Everyone is welcome to submit a presentation proposal. Proposals will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis starting August 6th, 2021, and closing on September 24th. Register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/library-2021-libraries-as-community-anchors-re… The third Library 2.021 mini-conference: "Libraries as Community Anchors," will be held online (and for free) on Thursday, October 21st, 2021. Libraries are increasingly addressing challenges associated with digital equity, access, and inclusion, as well as issues of security and privacy. For many years, community members have looked to public libraries to provide baseline, public, computer and internet access. In this way, libraries exist as important Community Anchor Institutions (CAIs), defined by the FCC "as schools, libraries, hospitals and other medical providers, public safety entities, institutions of higher education, and community support organizations that facilitate greater use of broadband by vulnerable populations, including low-income, the unemployed, and the aged" (FCC, 2011, p. 38). In light of the recent Covid-19 pandemic and other natural disasters such as floods, drought, firestorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes, universal access to the internet has never been more important. Libraries increasingly have an important role to play: as second responders in large scale events via the development and deployment of collaborative connectivity projects; in developing strategies to bridge technological digital divides; and to promote digital access, equity, opportunity, and inclusion. Everyone is invited to participate in our Library 2.0 conference events, which are designed to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among information professionals worldwide. Each three-hour event consists of a keynote panel, 10-15 crowd-sourced thirty-minute presentations, and a closing keynote. For more details see the message below or visit https://mailchi.mp/bc6de5a0f850/registration-open-whats-a-library-part-32-2… This event is being organized in partnership with Don Means, Director of the GIGABIT LIBRARIES NETWORK, and Kristen Radsliff Rebmann, Professor in the School of Information at San José State University.

Zoom Event - Writer and Explorer Adam Shoalts Author Talk - 9/22 @ 7 PM
by Paige Greer 13 Sep '21

13 Sep '21

Bonjour! We have a really exciting author talk scheduled in September via Zoom that may be of interest to you. Described as one of the “greatest living explorers” by CBC, Adam Shoalts is known for mapping rivers, tracking endangered species, participating in archeological digs, and completing a nearly 4,000 km solo trek across Canada’s Arctic. Beyond the Trees is Shoalts’s nearly four month journey “weaving through ice floes, facing down snarling bears and galloping musk-ox, and paddling under the midnight sun in a land as old as time” and conveys “why we urgently need to save vast wild places while it’s still possible.” Join us to hear Shoalts’s firsthand accounts of his time in the wilderness. Our ‘Beyond the Trees’ event will take place via Zoom on September 22 from 7:00-8:00 PM. You can register here: https://www.brandonlibrary.org/event/beyond-the-trees/ Au revoir, -- *Paige Greer* Librarian Pronouns: She/Her - See www.mypronouns.org to learn more*.* Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville, MI 48462 248-627-1460 *ENGAGE • EDUCATE • ENRICH • EMPOWER*
