MLIS Student Assignment
by Brannon McCullough 23 Nov '21

23 Nov '21

One of my classmates had good luck using this method and I'm hoping to find similar success. I'm a WSU student working towards my MLIS. We've been asked to visit libraries, in person or virtually, to gather data on information policies from information organizations. In the past, I've visited wonderful libraries (CIDL, BTPL, AHPL) for similar assignments and hope to continue this trend. I'm hoping to schedule as soon as possible, but I understand with the holidays many people will be busy. If anyone could accommodate me, I promise not to take up too much of your time. Please contact me at brannon.mccullough(a)wayne.edu. Thank You Brannon McCullough -- The information contained in this electronic message is intended only for the use of the designated recipient(s).

Sharing Patron Crowd Fundraisers on the Library Facebook?
by Deckerville Library Director 23 Nov '21

23 Nov '21

Hello all, We recently had a patron request that we share a personal crowd fundraiser through the library's Facebook page. I am wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this that they are willing to share? Our current social media policy says that posts must be in line with our mission statement, which does include "services...for personal enrichment" I would be happy to share compiled responses with anyone who is interested. Thank you! Jen Deckerville Public Library (zv089) (810) 376-8015 3542 North Main Street Deckerville, Michigan 48427

Planning anime/manga trivia online for teens
by Lorry Traver 22 Nov '21

22 Nov '21

Hi all, I am planning an event in January for a virtual anime/manga trivia, probably using Kahoot to conduct the trivia. My question for you is, what types of questions should I ask? I know very little about manga/anime and I know there is a lot out there so I really don't know where to start. Has anyone else done anything similar? If so, did you have questions that seemed to be pretty popular with the teens, things they knew already? I don't want to set up a trivia that is too difficult to be enjoyable. Should I stick with one specific manga/anime or touch on a few different ones? Thanks for your help! -- "You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child." - Dr. Seuss *Lorry Traver* Youth Services Coordinator Ruth Hughes Memorial District Library 211 N.
