My library is located in Kalamazoo. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks so much!-- Adrianne M. SchinkaiMLIS, Certification Level 1 with the Library of Michiganshe/her/hersamschinkai@gmail.com(248) 331-7834Currently reading: Crashing Through by Robert Kurson and Babel by RF Kuang Saline District Library is starting renovations soon and we have been cleaning out a bunch of cabinets and cupboards. Most of these can be sent through RIDES... with the exception of the piano. That will need to be picked up (but is FREE!!!) -- Jessica LashAssistant DirectorSaline District Library jess@salinelibrary.org734.401.1262 As the housing market has become unaffordable for some and the way people work has become more flexible, a new nomadic lifestyle has emerged. Whether it’s living the #VanLife, staying in a short-term rental, or even house- or pet-sitting in exchange for accommodation, people who chose to engage in wanderlust might also be part of a new group of workers who perform their work on the road rather than in a traditional office setting. These digital nomads, as they are known, have ushered in a new wave of workplace concerns and benefits. The MichiganeLibrary (MeL) can help provide context for a work-travel lifestyle that might be the future of work. Though being a digital nomad is more common now than ever before, people who live this way are often misunderstood.MasterFILE Complete has several publications with articles covering this trend. ComputerWorld includes "Bashing 4 New Myths About Digital Nomads: The Digital Nomad Honeymoon is Over, and the Backlash has Begun. Here are the New Myths—and the Facts—About Digital Nomads" to help explain what is really happening versus what people might assume from the outside. From the perspective of several Human Resource professionals, having digital nomads on a team can have positive benefits for employers and employees, as well as causing some administrative drawbacks. "Digital Nomadism in the Workplace: Top Insights from HR Leaders On Policies and Perspectives" inLeadership Excellence provides some context for why a business might thrive or struggle. InGeographical, "Nomad’s Land" suggests that this type of work-travel lifestyle is a new norm—both for those who are looking for adventure and those who are escaping high costs in their home country. If this sounds like a lifestyle you would like to try,Computerworld (Online Only) offers "10 Must-Have Security Tips for Digital Nomads" to help you work more safely. To discover places where digital nomad visas are common, read "Want to Work from Spain?: Apply for a New Digital Nomad Visa" inNews India Times.

If you’re library would like to participate, please feel free to add your info. It will be up to each individual interested in borrowing to contact the library and follow up. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GHfZAlunFXi09Ni25Vv_oIqNYT_IHqGIVxOQ... Anna Merritt (she/her) Assistant Director / Interloan Specialist Richland Community Library 8951 Park Street Richland, MI 49083 (269) 629-9085 ZV283 https://www.richlandlibrary.org/ ORIGINAL MESSAGE: Hello All, With programming & sustainability in mind, I was wondering if any libraries who have hosted Jigsaw Puzzle Competition programs would be interested in participating in a swap & borrow program? I was thinking that a spreadsheet could be kept with the library’s name, contact person, & list of what puzzles they have & how many. Libraries who are interested in hosting a jigsaw puzzle program could reach out to a library on the list and borrow and/or swap puzzles through RIDES. This might be a more sustainable and cost saving alternative for some libraries. Please let me know if you HAVE jigsaw puzzles from past programs and would be willing to participate in a borrow/swap.
