Greetings! As part of the Monthly Library Law Spotlight Webinar series, Wednesday January 29, 2020 @ 10:30am there will be a FREE Webinar discussing Library Law "Resolutions" for the new year. These "Resolutions" will encompass items that can be considered by Library Directors and Board members as they strategize and plan for the coming new calendar and fiscal years. This webinar would be of use to both Directors and Board Members. "Top New Years' Library Law Resolutions" According to History.com<https://www.history.com/news/the-history-of-new-years-resolutions>, New Years' resolutions date back to the Babylonians, who made promises during New Years' celebrations to pay back debts and return borrowed items so as to remain in good standing with the gods. As time progressed, these promises evolved to become resolves to improve health, prosperity, industry and other attributes through which we can feel better, become better and perhaps make our own worlds better. Libraries also can benefit from review and resolve. This webinar will present a selection of resolutions that libraries can adopt in order to organize, refresh and perhaps mitigate troubles before they start. Participants can expect to learn: * Tasks that can help libraries keep up with changes in law and policy. * Tasks that can help library staff with uncomfortable situations and conversations. * Tasks that can help Library Directors keep boards informed and aware of library processes and best practices The webinar is FREE, but registration is required. To register, please go to https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/eventRe... Can't make it, but interested? The webinar will be recorded and posted on the LM website for later viewing. Thanks! Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.
