I understand that many, many, many policies have been posted on here over the years, however, I didn't need them then. Now, I have a whole new board, that doesn't necessarily want to approve our "old" policies without comparing them to what others might have. So, if you can easily access your policies and attach them in an email to me, I would most certainly appreciate it!! Please send off list to: joannatthelibrary@yahoo.com Thank you so very, very much!! :) Joann Crater Director Hudson Carnegie District Library 205 S.

While we're on the subject of policies, does anyone have a policy for accepting book donations? We are swamped. So many books, so little time. Thanks, Cathy Cathy Sullivan Seblonka Collection Development/Reference Librarian Peter White Public Library 217 N. Front St. Marquette, MI 49855 906-226-4312 cathys@pwpl.info
I saw a sign recently at a nearby library that said No book donations being accepted until after next month's book sale. Made me smile. Connie On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 3:22 PM, Cathy Sullivan Seblonka < cathys@uproc.lib.mi.us> wrote:

I'd like to know what libraries are doing with self published books. WE are getting hit with self published books by locals that want us to buy copies plus have a signing in their honor. Are any libraries putting self published books in a separate section? I'd appreciate all responses. -----Original Message----- From: michlib-l-bounces@mail.mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mail.mcls.org] On Behalf Of Val Meyerson Sent: Friday, September 27, 2013 9:41 AM To: cathys@uproc.lib.mi.us; Joann Crater Cc: michlib-l@lists.mcls.org Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] book donation policies All our policies are available on our website: http://www.charlevoixlibrary.org/about/policies-and-documents Valerie Meyerson, Library Director Charlevoix Public Library, MI 231.237.7360 Please consider the environment before printing this message. -----Original Message----- From: michlib-l-bounces@mail.mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mail.mcls.org] On Behalf Of Cathy Sullivan Seblonka Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2013 3:22 PM To: Joann Crater Cc: michlib-l@lists.mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] book donation policies While we're on the subject of policies, does anyone have a policy for accepting book donations?

Greetings all, There are excellent resources for locating policies on a wide variety of library topics that can be found on the QSAC program Web site: http://www.michigan.gov/qsac. QSAC stands for Quality Services Audit Checklist. These policies include facets of: * Human Resources * Governance/Administration * Services * Collection Development * Technology * Facilities and Equipment * Public Relations * Planning Resources The policies included in the QSAC documentation are from Michigan and around the country. QSAC is a voluntary management standards program that assists public libraries by setting benchmarks for Governance & Administration, Human Resources, Services, Collection Development, Technology, Facilities & Equipment and Public Relations. The Library of Michigan recognizes public libraries as they achieve each level. Libraries can be certified at the Essential, Enhanced and Excellent levels. To achieve certification at a level, a library must meet the requirements for state aid to public libraries, the measures at that level and the measures at all levels below that level. If you have any questions, please contact Shannon White at whites29@michigan.gov<mailto:whites29@michigan.gov> or (517) 373-9489. More information about policies can be found on the MCLS wiki at: http://mcls.org/wiki/index.php/Library_Policies This site includes a wide range of policies on specific topics. Happy reading and have a great rest of the day! Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant and Plinkit Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
