17 Feb '22

Hi all, Does anyone have any spare non-locking DVD cases they're looking to get rid of? We're in the middle of a major weed and think our Friends could sell much of what we're discarding if we could just get them in regular cases. Our RIDES code is ZV001. Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to send any! Stay dry, Jen -- Jennifer Noble (she/her/hers) Adult & Teen Services Librarian Adrian District Library 143 E.

Moving forward, the COVID-19 cycle can be broken down into three key phases: * Response - Local and state public health implement rapid response to a surge.The public may be advised to increase masking, testing and social distancing. * Recovery - Post-surge. No immediate resurgence predicted. Local and state public health will monitor conditions that could lead to future surges. * Readiness - A surge in cases is expected, with implications on severity of illness and hospital capacity. Increased communication to the public regarding possible new risks. Currently, decreases in cases and hospitalizations and increased access to vaccines, testing and treatment indicate that Michigan is entering a post-surge, recovery phase of the cycle. During this phase, MDHHS recommends that all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, continue to practice universal masking in high-risk congregate settings including long-term care facilities, homeless shelters, correctional facilities, jails and health care facilities. All individuals, regardless of vaccination status, should also wear a mask during isolation<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> and quarantine<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> periods to stop further community spread of COVID-19. School districts and organizations should consider local conditions and work with their local health department to determine mask policies for school districts, public meetings and large events. Masks are an important tool in mitigating spread of COVID-19 and individuals who may be at higher risk of infection or who feel better protected when masked should choose when they feel comfortable masking. "This is good news for Michigan," said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. "While Michigan hasn't had statewide mask policies since last June, this updated guidance will underscore that we are getting back to normal. Let's keep working together to build on our momentum so we can keep our kids learning in person." "Individuals and families should assess their own risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission and make choices about when it makes sense to wear masks," said Elizabeth Hertel, MDHHS director. "We want to make sure individuals and local communities have the information and tools they need to make choices for their families based on their personal situation and local community conditions. We continue to strongly urge all residents ages 5 and older get the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine and to get boosted when eligible as the vaccine continues to be our best defense against the virus." Today's announcement follows Governor Whitmer's signing of the bipartisan $1.2 billion supplemental funding bill, which includes $150.8 million for testing and screenings in schools so kids can continue safely learning in-person. Michiganders should consider their individual and family members' risk factors and vaccination status when making the personal decision whether to mask. Those with chronic illnesses or who are immunocompromised are at higher risk for poor outcomes from COVID-19 and would benefit most from masking in indoor settings. These risk factors may include age, medical conditions and vaccination status. MDHHS will continue to monitor the transmission of COVID-19 closely to assess risk across the state and adjust as conditions change. These changes could include the presence of a new variant that increases the risk to the public, or an increased number of cases that strains the health care system. "For the past several months, we have been in a response phase as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations surged," said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, MDHHS chief medical executive. "With the continued decline in cases and hospitalizations, we are now entering a post-surge, recovery phase. As we move through the phases of our COVID-19 response our recommendations will be updated to reflect the current status of transmission, but we will continue to prioritize public health and promote health and wellness for all families and communities." MDHHS continues to recommend the use of layered mitigation strategies for Michiganders: * Get vaccinated against COVID-19.Michiganders should get up to date on their COVID-19 vaccine. Learn more about vaccines and when you're up to date at gov/COVIDVaccine<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. * After testing positive for COVID-19, individuals are encouraged to talk to their doctors about whether they meet eligibility criteria and should get antibody or antiviral treatment to help with their recovery. Learn more about COVID-19 Therapeutics<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. * Isolation and Quarantine.Staying away from others when you are sick or were recently exposed to COVID-19 are important tools to preventing further spread of the virus. Learn more about what happens when you have or are exposed to COVID-19<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> * Get tested if you are exposed or have symptoms.Anyone with signs or symptoms of COVID-19 should get tested regardless of vaccination status or prior infection. If you get tested because you have symptoms or were potentially exposed to the virus, you should stay away from others while you wait for your test result. Testing before unmasked gatherings provides an additional layer of protection. Find a test site at gov/CoronavirusTest<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. * Take additional steps to protect yourself and others. For additional guidance on mitigation strategies see How to Protect Yourself and Others<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. * Get a free mask. Free KN95 masks are being distributed by community organizations, including local MDHHS offices, health departments and Area Agency on Aging offices. Residents who want masks can obtain masks from partner agencies across the state. Michiganders are asked to refer to partner websites or social media sites to find out about mask availability as opposed to calling sites. # # # Ongoing Response to COVID-19 Cycle Infographic<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> * MDHHS updates mask guidance NR.pdf<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> ________________________________ [DHHS Footer] <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> Become a foster parent through Michigan Department<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> of<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> Health & Human Services foster care<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> program.<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> Questions?

In support of Kelvin Watson for ALA President Elect
by Lance Werner 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Good morning, I hope you all are doing well! I have been working on Kelvin Watson's ALA Presidential campaign. Kelvin is the Director of the Las Vegas Clark Public Library. He has a great deal of public library experience and is highly respected nationally. I appreciate him because he is pragmatic, brilliant, and kind. It is without hesitation that I encourage all ALA members in Michigan to vote for Kelvin Watson for ALA President Elect. I asked him for a statement regarding his candidacy. Here it is: "Library Servant Leader Operator Practitioner and Innovative Implementer for over 20 years. I have delivered on transforming libraries and library services in all of my library leadership roles from NAL, Queens, Broward, and now as Executive Director Las Vegas, BCALA president, and ALA Committees. I've demonstrated delivery of bridging and eliminating the digital divide in diverse communities- tablets, hotspots, expansion of broadband, now working on a cellphone lending program to people/students experiencing homelessness. I've led and implemented delivering e-content directly to students in partnership with two major school districts, and also implemented workforce development programs. I will use all of my experiences from both private and public, to lead ALA and be with our members through the challenges we're experiencing now in addition to the unknown. Delivering through collaborations and partnerships across our ecosystem, advocates, allies, and co-conspirators. I am the first Spectrum Scholar (2006) and ARL Diversity Participant Scholar to stand for this office, which is an affirmation of these Library Diversity leadership development programs. I believe that our core values of DEIA, social justice, intellectual freedom, and the work we do, guides us in all the initiatives we undertake I was honored to serve as BCALA VP/President Elect 2014-2016 through continuous tumultuous times when The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was created by then ALA President Barbara Stripling. I continue to implement with others and focus on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Access, and Accessibility not only in the libraries and communities I serve but in library associations. I served as Florida Library Association Co-Chair for their task force to bring young and new BIPOC & LGBTQ+ library workers together to make their ideals pervasive with the association. Within a few months we developed and activated and implemented our strategies. I've created ED Programs in partnership with school districts and colleges eliminate pipelines to prisons and create pipelines to workforce, literacy, education, success Advocacy and diversity within our association requires inviting the uninvited, this is what I've actively done within the diverse communities I've served and can work with retention or our current members and also recruiting for an even more broad membership base. Marketing inside and outside of the association member pool. As ALA president I will have a focus on the partnership and collaboration of all libraries within our ecosystem. One ALA, one Voice, because we are all in this together As ALA President I will also start a fund to support ALA members with relocation assistance mirroring Leroy Merritt Humanitarian Fund. I will start this fund with over $50k. As it pertains to ALA Finances, I've had the opportunities to oversee multi-million dollar budgets and capital campaign. This is experience that I will use in partnership and Executive Director Tracie Hall, ALA staff, and throughout our diverse membership. I also want to create permanent roundtables in support of task forces that require more support. Intellectual freedom and censorship issues will be key issues to organize around with a plan to focus both locally and nationally. As members, we must be agile and pivot focused in our mobilization efforts, leveraging toolkits that have been developed and get this in the hands of our local advocates and partners like the ULC. In regards to sustainability I will work with the ALA Sustainability Roundtable to follow a model that President Biden is planning to implement with federal employees with the goal to influence our members and advocates across all libraries a speaking series to educate. Recognizing that we have to do this work to meet humanity's needs without harming future generations. I say yes to things that benefit others more than if it benefits me. Working for a better world. Let's talk about actions and not words, speaking and living truth to power, by practicing inclusivity and holding each other accountable. In these divided times, it has never been more urgent for us to work together library leadership and library workers, to unite and not divide, and create tools that remove barriers. ALA Pivot to Succeed by being agile and getting things done." Thank you for your consideration! Kindest regards, Lance Werner Executive Director Kent District Library
