It's encouraging to hear all about the actions you're taking and the assistance that Michigan libraries are doing for families. A quick recap of today's call: * Lots of worry & apprehension, but overall a sense of presence in our work and pride in offering support to families in our communities. * The Library of Michigan shared out: * COVID-19: Updates on Library Services<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-93136-522515--,00.html> * MeL's COVID-19 resources<https://mel.org/covid19> and Liz's 4/1 Google Doc about Britannica<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dbLpBrftMYRwAkUrjUN9qb_UgyiJXwycXOqhbXOuw_4/edit> * "COVID-19: Save Your Story<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-88854_89996-523458--,00.html>" project * Discussed what our communities need right now, and what types of library engagement we are doing to serve them. * A shared brainstorming doc from the past 2 weeks plus both chatbox threads can now be found all in 1 folder: https://bit.ly/MiYouthMeetings.
