<p class="MsoNormal">We had a great virtual discussion on Monday around making new opportunities for our community members with virtual programming. Our guest, Alyson Lobert, Director of Commerce Township Community Library, provided a lot of information as
well as tips and resources on what her library is doing as well as collaborative programming with neighboring libraries.

<p class="MsoNormal">With the news that libraries can begin with their reopening plans now on the table we are going to skip the June 8 meeting. Join us again on Monday, June 15 at 10:00 am to hear
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">On June 15 at 10:00 am Eastern we will hear from University of Michigan’s Bryan Maxey. He will be sharing on the topic of MOOCs, massive open online courses, and related issues such as how to access MOOC content in low-bandwidth areas,
where to find free MOOCs on various platforms, and some samples as well. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope libraries continue to build on the skills and creativity that they have exhibited during the stay at home environment. Creating new opportunities for library engagement in a virtual environment is still going to be necessary in
the current time and into the future. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Our virtual meeting, New Opportunities in Adult Programming, is back after our Memorial Day holiday. Please join us at 10:00 am on Monday, June 1 to hear about how one library is moving into virtual programming and what they are doing
around this new service opportunity from online baking programs, to self-care with a local therapist, and also moving into virtual program collaboration with neighboring libraries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alyson Lobert, Director of Commerce Township Community Library, will be our guest on Monday, June 1. She will talk about how her library is working with virtual programming as an opportunity rather than a replacement and the successes
they have found with the availability of virtual presenters for online programs that were otherwise prohibitively expensive to have in-person. Alyson will delve into making the new virtual experiences more interactive with participant engagement and how the
library reached out to the community to find out what they want in the future and how their opinions may differ from what you expect.<o:p></o:p></p>
