LO Review 5 13 2015
Due to slow ticket sales, the Kim Santini event at the White Horse Inn is
being canceled by the artist. Any purchased tickets will be refunded. In
addition, the Orion Art Center will soon announce a future event with the
White Horse Inn, whose relationship we value.
In the meantime, we have hired a new Art & Gallery manager (WIlliam
LeTourneau), re-launched the OAC web site (Thanks Dymond Web
Solutions!), we have just purchased 3 new pottery wheels thanks to a
new partnership with Foresters Car Wash, we have a new wheelchair
ramp being installed on the building (thanks Frank & Home Depot!), we
will be at the Flower Fair and the Chamber of Commerce event SHOP
LOCAL EXPO 2015 with Mike Hendrix colorizing the chambers montage
posters, we are placing the Joan Brace Scholarship Show in the Orion
Township Public Library in partnership with Chadwick Accounting and
Oxford Bank where we will announce the winners of $2,000 in scholarship
funds, we had a very successful opening with the Recycled Art Show
powered by Waste Management, we are working with Jon Witz and his
team to take a group of chalk artists down to the Detroit Riverdays
Festival in June and to represent the Orion Art Center and some of the
great chalk art we do at Dragon on the Lake, and of course we are now in
full swing on Dragon on the Lake and look forward to working with the
Daisy Project, the Knights of Columbus, the Lake Orion Lakes Association,
the Lapeer Civil Air Patrol, the Village of Lake Orion, Orion Township,
Common Ground, Tattoo Noveau, FOX2 Detroit, the Lake Orion Review,
Community Lifestyles and many more.
Sincerely,
The employees, board and volunteers of the Orion Art Center

latest marketing trends and ideas will be incorporated. View the Full Agenda
Customer Service Workshop - May 1
The term "customer service" is most readily associated with retail
environments, but is your library really so different? Every time a
member of your community interacts with your library, you have the
opportunity to promote your programs, create memorable experiences
and foster loyalty through superior service. Co-presented by a
communications professional and three librarians, this workshop will help you and
your front-line staff develop the skills and strategies to effectively interact with a
variety of patron personalities and show you how to apply those newly-acquired tools
to real library situations. The early bird registration deadline is Friday, April 17. View
the Full Agenda
Library as Platform and Programming - May 8
Libraries are the catalysts for building strong communities. Whether
you call it a place, platform or programming, this workshop will help
libraries rethink public spaces while collaborating with local partners.
Learn how to do an analysis of community resources, how to find the
best contacts and how to propose partnerships that strengthen patron
relationships and attract new users. The early bird registration deadline is Friday,
April 24. View the Full Agenda
Executive Summit - May 15
Executive Summit (formerly Directors' Summit) is a valuable oneday event designed to engage library professionals at the top or
on their way to the top. Public, academic and specialty librarians
can learn how to recognize leadership potential in themselves and
others. Part two focuses on mentoring; how it works and how it
connects with leadership. Anyone looking to broaden their perspective should attend.

2015
April 23,
Dear Karen,
On May 5 Michigan voters are being asked to vote on Proposal 15-1 as a way to fund
road repair. The measure's approval would cause one constitutional amendment and
10 statutes to go into effect. The proposal is a complicated solution to a difficult and
expensive problem. Read on for an explanation of MLA's stand on Proposal 1.
Michigan Library Association Supports Proposal 1
The MLA Board of Directors has voted to support the MLA Legislative Committee's
recommendation that MLA support passage of Proposal 1. While we recognize that
this proposal has any number of issues that could cause confusion, questions and
differences of opinion, there are three arguments for support which would impact
libraries directly.
1. Predictions for Fiscal Year 2017 show a serious budget deficit for the state of
Michigan due to the cashing in of tax credits by big business. This means
without additional sources of revenue, we would expect to see a cut in all
budgets across the board including aid to libraries.
2. Penal fines: Originally a bill moving some penal fines from libraries to roads
was included in the 10-bill package to accompany Proposal 1. We worked hard
to mitigate that threat. If Proposal 1 fails we can expect further and expanded
assaults on penal fines. Legislators will argue that those are road fines and
they should go to roads-constitutionally guaranteed to libraries or not.
3. The governor has provided an additional $1.6 million in support to libraries for
early literacy and other programs in his budget recommendation this year.
Supporting the administration's efforts to adequately finance education and
local governments is consistent with good policy.
In essence, Proposal 1 would amend the State Constitution to increase the sales/use
tax from 6% to 7% and eliminate sales/use taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel. Simply
put, motorists now pay both gas and sales taxes at the pump, so that the cost of each
fill-up is split among roads, schools and local governments. The plan for Proposal 1
means taxes paid at the pump are going to roads and sales tax is going to schools
and local governments.
Language directly from the ballot proposal states that the proposed constitutional
amendment would:







Eliminate sales/use taxes on gasoline/diesel fuel for vehicles on public roads.
Increase portion of use tax dedicated to School Aid Fund (SAF).
Expand use of SAF to community colleges and career/technical education and
prohibit use for 4-year colleges/universities.
Give effect to laws, including those that: Increase sales/use tax to 7% as
authorized by constitutional amendment.
Increase gasoline/diesel fuel tax and adjust annually for inflation, increase
vehicle registration fees and dedicate revenue for roads and other
transportation purposes.
Expand competitive bidding and warranties for road projects.
Increase earned income tax credit.

webpage.

President's Update
One of the most challenging tasks in communicating with others is
how to effectively give negative and positive feedback. When giving
feedback, feelings of embarrassment, not wanting to be
confrontational and the vulnerability required to share your feelings
can all be uncomfortable and roadblocks to this specific type of
communication. However, giving feedback is an excellent way to
motivate others to begin, continue or stop behaviors. But what is
feedback? Continue reading President's Update

OTPL celebrated National Library Week from April 13-18. A staff committee
planned something special for each day that week, including free giveaways to
thank our patrons for using the library. We had a lot of fun, and we think our
patrons did too! In addition, Lori McGeary planned our annual Volunteer
Luncheon for Friday, April 17 to thank all of our volunteers for everything they do
for the library. It was a wonderful celebration for everyone!
The library continued to offer many great programs throughout the month of
April. On Saturday, April 11, we celebrated International TableTop Day, and 40
patrons of all ages came to play games at the library throughout the day. ONTV
was here as well and filmed the event. We partnered with the Orion Center and
offered a gardening program at their facility, attracting 49 attendees. 32 teens
attended our After-Hours Movie and Pizza Party, and 26 attended our StopMotion Workshop.
In the youth department, we held a Book Bingo program on Friday, April 10,
which was during Spring Break, and 25 kids came to play. We also partnered
with the Scouts and the Orion Art Center for a Recycled Art program, which was
enjoyed by 33 attendees on April 18. We started a new session of 1, 2, 3 Play
with Me, which is our Family Place Parent/Child workshop. The registration was
full again for this session, and we are keeping track of the waiting list for our next
session in the fall.
The library participated at the Parent Resource Fair at CERC, and Linda Pannuto
and Gina Crowther shared information with about 132 parents. Debra hosted a
meeting for the School Media Specialists and gave them a tour of the
renovated youth area, with which they were very impressed.
Kristen Remenar and Halli Zalesin traveled to New York City for Family Place
Training, so now they are even better prepared to implement more aspects of
the program at our library.
Kate Kloor began working 2 days/week as an Ingram Estate funded librarian
working on several Local History projects involving Ingram Estate donated
materials. Kate also attended a History Skills Workshop - Fading Photos: How to
Identify, Scan, Restore, and Archive Historic Photographs at the Michigan
Historical Society.
Judi Rudisill led a learning lunch for staff on Windows profiles, which was wellattended by staff and provided a number of great tips to improve their
computer login experience.

We cleared the youth staff office area for about a week, enabling contractors
to come in and paint and replace the carpeting. The staff are getting situated
back in their space again and reorganizing supplies for easier access.
Marge Keenan announced her retirement, and her last day will be May 28. We
conducted interviews to hire a new part-time librarian in the youth department.
The library received a very generous gift from Katherine and Craig Thornton, in
memory of Joyce Edson, Katherine’s mother. This gift is designated to help with
the renovation of the James Ingram Room, as Joyce spent a lot of time and
energy with genealogy resources for our library.
The library held a Red Cross Blood Drive on April 27, and we collected 58 pints of
blood. The Red Cross was very pleased with these results, as this was our first
drive with longer open hours.
The Friends held their Annual Meeting on April 23 at 7p. They elected new
officers, which are listed here: Diane Griffiths, President; Pat Belanger, VicePresident; Rob Zielinski, Secretary; Christine Martinico, Treasurer; Bob Bambach,
Deputy Treasurer.
They have also worked diligently planning their 2015 Passport to Spring “Fiesta,”
and it will be held tomorrow, May 16. This year the theme is Mexico: an evening
of colors, flavors, and traditions. They are working with a local group, Mexicanas
en Michigan, who will be helping ensure our event is authentic, educational,
colorful, and fun! We are all excited!
The Friends’ attention will turn after the Fiesta, as they have their next Used Book
Sale coming up on June 1 – 6. They also have a Basket Silent Auction running
from June 1 – 20.
Reminders and other notable upcoming events for the Library:
 May 21 – June 26: Joan Brace Scholarship Art Show (in lobby)
 May 23 – 25: Library Closed for Memorial Day Weekend

Fund Development Committee
May 4th, 2015
Minutes
Attendees: Maryanne Thorndycraft, Mary Pergeau, Mike Luna, Karen Knox
Called to order 5:11 p.m.
Advertising initiative update:
One business, School for the Mind & Body daycare/pre-school paid $200. 4 other companies expressed
an interest.
Efforts by Becky, Gina and staff have been through word of mouth, Flower Fair, Newsletter column
discussing the opportunity, included in the monthly email blast, 2 email blasts, slides, Monday motivator
from the Chamber. Gina and Karen will attend the Lake Orion Business Expo and talk to the vendors to
generate interest and opportunities.
Reflection of the Committee:
We briefly reflected on the progress and sustainability of the Committee over the last 5 years. An
Endowment has been created and the distinction and more defined role of the Library and Friends has
been fostered.
We have not been successful at clearly defining “The Need” that is necessary to garner support for
increased fundraising efforts. A way to describe our mission as a Committee is “For longevity of the
Library”. This encompasses a long term objective to fund the future needs of the Library, thus further
solidifying efforts to grow the Endowment.
Moving Forward:
The Committee proposes we split the calendar into 3 time periods and develop major campaigns to
coincide with Library activities. Each of these sections of the calendar will have a fundraising goal of
$10,000 each. The goal may be achieved through patron donations, promotional support and a variety
of sponsorship support, include major or Platinum Sponsorship support for each major event.
We discussed library staff (Mike Morris) to build an attractive, well secured donation box to place at
events where we anticipate more than 50 – 100 attendees. It would be worth our time and effort to
continue to increase the Endowment, even if the donations garner $50 - $100 ($1 per person).
