Friendly Connections From the Roseville Public Library

From the Director

At least once every couple of weeks someone asks me about the state of public

libraries. It usually goes something like this, “Boy, libraries must be really different

places these days because of computers,” or “Do people actually use libraries anymore

because I get all of my (fill in the blank – eBooks, movies, music) online?” I look at the

question as a good way to educate someone who doesn’t normally use public

libraries on their importance. I stress that, while libraries are different from what

they were twenty or thirty years ago, so are most organizations. The world is a

different place in many respects and so are local communities. But “different” isn’t

always worse. Different is just different.

The Roseville Public Library receives strong support from the residents. “Yes” votes

were the majority in last summer’s millage proposal and this type of support is

reflected in most Michigan communities. With the support of the Library trustees,

our employees are using the increased revenue to give residents more of what they

want. We are increasing the size of every collection in the library and adding new

collections. We just added a book discussion kit collection for those who want to

start their own book groups and we have a popular collection called “Lucky Day.”

You may find a copy of an in-demand book, movie or music CD on the shelf that you

can check out for a shorter loan period – skipping the line of people waiting. We

purchased iPads for children and teens in the Youth Area. We will take the next few

years to upgrade the interior and exterior of the building and are currently working

with a designer to redesign the Library’s south entrance, not only making it look

more attractive, but keeping mounds of snow from falling on people’s heads in the

winter. Each month you will see something new. In addition to “things,” we will

continue to increase the number and variety of programs we offer, making sure that

the Library remains an important community resource for Roseville.

Your public library truly does offer something for everyone. Please stop by and

look around, ask a question, join a program, scan a photo, check out a book, or

use a computer. After all, it’s your community space.

Friends of the Library Autumn Used Book Sale Thursday, October 26, 2:00 - 7:30 PM

Friday, October 27, 12:00 - 4:00 PM

Saturday, October 28, 12:00 - 4:00 PM

The Friends have two large used book sales each year in the spring and autumn. The revenue from the used

book sales is their primary source of income each year and they make generous donations to the Library for

materials, equipment and programs. This year the Friends paid for half of the new document/book/photo

scanner, multiple copies of book discussion titles, the newsletter and programs.

The Friends need assistance setting up and breaking down the book sale area. On Tuesday, October 24 they

need help bringing boxes of books up from the basement using carts and the elevator, and sorting books onto

tables. On Monday, October 30 they will need help taking unsold books back to the basement. They also need

help putting some lawn signs around the City Hall campus advertising the sale. You don’t have to be a member

to assist with the sale. Please contact the Library if you have a couple of hours to help. The Friends also need

paper grocery bags for their used book sale. They can be dropped off at the library anytime before the sale.

Thank you!

Internet Browsers - Secure vs. Not Secure

You may have noticed some Internet browsers now have a secure or not secure box

next to the web address. For example, our web address, rosevillelibrary.org says

not secure, but your email website will likely say secure. Websites that use HTTPS

(HyperText Transfer Protocol with Secure Sockets Layer) mask information so that

it can not be viewed publicly. Alternately, there is HTTP (hypertext transfer

protocol) which is the language used over public channels.

One may think of HTTPS as form of communication in code. In order for one to obtain your information they

would have to break the code. HTTP could be viewed as a discreet conversation in a coffee shop. While it is

quiet, one could hear your conversation if they really wanted to do so. As the library’s website does not

request personal information, an insecure website will not impact your experience. All web pages requiring

confidential information such as your library card use secure technology to protect your privacy and

information.

Sit and Be Fit

Wednesday, September 13 at 2:00 PM

Erin Auditorium

Registration opens August 21

Fitness is an important aspect of overall health. This class is

a great alternative for those practitioners that have limited

mobility.

We will focus on healthy posture, breathing, and

movement. There will be some standing movements,

optional for those who are extremely limited in mobility. If

you have fitness straps, small hand weights or even water

bottles, these can be used in this practice as well.

Dress Rehearsal for the Arsenal Tuesday, October 3 at 6:00 PM

Erin Auditorium

Historian Chris Causley is a founding member and current

president of the Michigan Military Technical and Historical

Society. He will discuss the role Michigan's industry played

in the build up for the First World War. Learn about Ford

Eagle Boats, Fischer DH-4 airplanes, Liberty engines,

Dodge recuperators, American Cat caissons, and how the

lessons learned influenced the "Arsenal of Democracy" of

WWII.

After speaking Chris will be selling copies of his books.

Past Lives, Souls and Spirits

Wednesday, December 6 at 6:00 PM

Erin Auditorium

Author and Psychic Medium Kristy Robinett discusses

Past Lives, Souls and Spirits and how to determine if

you might have existed before. After speaking Kristy

will sell and sign copies of her books.

Please note that Kristy has a large turnout for her

speaking events. Come early as once the auditorium is

full, we can not admit anyone else.
