2020 “Imagine Your Story”</a> manuals are now available online for member libraries to access. Membership is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and includes all the public libraries here in Michigan. All public library directors received
an email this past Tuesday (via <a href="mailto:mi@countingopininons.com">mi@countingopininons.com</a>) on how to access the online manuals, so please
<b>see your director for details on accessing the manual</b>. Early next week physical mailings with the directions on how to access your manual and the 2020 Catalog (available online) will also go out to all public libraries. Reminder: please designate 1
staff person to access the manual code for your building. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">Once you have the code, you can download the manual to your library network drive, save to a thumb drive, and/or print to share with staff. Manuals can be downloaded in sections or as a full manual all at once.
Art work is available in "Zip Collections,” that make it easier for libraries to download the art in batches.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Please note the wonderful new layout! CSLP has put a lot of hard work and effort into creating an engaging and usable manual to support summer library programming.
