Michigan Library Association 2006 Conference 3 Welcome to the 2006 MLA Conference

Dear Friends, Michigan Library Association Board of Directors 2006-2007 Welcome to the MLA 2006 Annual Conference — ‘There’s no place like a library’! Gretchen Couraud Executive Director, Michigan Library Association The 2006 conference committee has been hard at work for several months planning a conference that highlights Leah Black, President what’s great about Detroit and incorporates a fresh Michigan State University approach to some MLA standard conference events. You’ll be challenged, enlightened, enriched, and maybe even Josie Parker, President-elect Ann Arbor District Library amused! Leah Black Mike McGuire, Past President President What a great opportunity this is going to be to examine Traverse Area District Library Michigan Library Association how our libraries represent a “place” in our society. Omar Wasow, keynote speaker for Wednesday’s opening session, Gail Parsons, Treasurer will be sharing insights on today’s technologies and how Public Libraries of Saginaw libraries can be woven into the fabric of life for future generations of library users. Various pro- Faye Backie, Secretary gram sessions will touch on the ‘library as place’ theme, including sessions on workplace safety, Michigan State University libraries as colorful and exciting community centers, curriculum collections in Michigan colleges and universities, becoming a published author and finding inspiration for creating children’s books, Linda Farynk “green” design for library buildings, and much, much more. MLA Representative to Library of Michigan Board of Trustees, Saginaw Valley State University New this year are programs organized into tracks to make it easier for you to focus on programs in a specific area of interest. Tracks include Access, Advocacy, Collections, Leadership and manage- Roger Mendel, ALA Councilor ment, Marketing/Public relations/Fundraising, Patron service, Technology, and ‘Library as place’. Mideastern Michigan Library Cooperative Although MLA’s divisions, roundtables and committees are contributing their usual high quality pro- gram sessions, a total of 17 of this year’s programs were scheduled through a “call for presenta- Members-at-Large: tions” to provide library colleagues an opportunity to share their knowledge and expertise.

Zandra Blake, Capital Area District Library The Special Events committee has planned an outstanding array of activities designed to highlight Detroit area libraries and attractions, including an pre-conference tour of the Motown Historical Anne Marie Casey, Central Michigan University Museum followed by a reception at the beautiful Southfield Public Library, the all-conference recep- tion showcasing the Skillman Branch of the Detroit Public Library, and a fun and relaxing Thursday Barbara Glover, Eastern Michigan University evening auction party with foods representing Detroit’s diverse culture and MLA’s fabulous live and Kevin King, Kalamazoo Public Library silent auctions.

Jean Tabor, Canton Public Library I’m so glad you’re here!

Leah Black, President

4 Michigan Library Association 2006 Conference Welcome to the 2006 Annual Conference

This year’s conference theme, There’s No Place Like a Library, builds on a grass-roots discussion in the library community of libraries as a unique place in any community. The theme is one we should build into our vocabulary when we are marketing libraries and converting people to become library advocates.

Consider academic libraries. Many now offer 24/7 service. Many have coffee shops for network- ing and socializing. And all offer a rich array of services, not least of which is the growing demand for information resources through computers, online databases and other technological vehicles. Academic libraries are on the cutting-edge of information and provide a place on campus where stu- Gretchen Couraud dents can convene, learn and grow. Executive Director, Michigan Library Association Consider public libraries. Public libraries have always served as community centers and destina- tion points. Michigan residents tell us that they are vital to the quality of life, downtown economic development and tourism. They provide forums for public discourse and debate through book clubs and speaker series where people from different walks of life can meet, discuss and learn about wide-ranging topics from fiction, to healthcare, social security and workforce development. They provide opportunities for children to read, learn and grow. It is staggering to consider that more people visit libraries each week than museums and zoos combined.

But what good does it do us if we, in the library community know the value of libraries as place, but don’t educate others and get the word out? If our provosts, lobbyists, city managers and city council members don’t value what we deliver how will we convince the Legislature?

If we are going to be successful advocates for libraries, we must do a better job of educating our current and potential customers (yes, customers – not just patrons but legislators, administrators, the media, nonusers) about the value of libraries and how we’ve changed and grown to serve our communities and our customers. We must do a better overall job of collecting data on our customers and how they are using the services we provide and how we are benefiting our communities and institutions.

We have a great story to tell, and this year’s conference is just the beginning.

I extend a special thank you to the entire Annual Conference planning committee, subcommit- tees, and countless volunteers who participated in making this conference possible. Your enthusi- asm, commitment to your profession, and involvement in the Michigan Library Association is valued and appreciated. Thanks also to all the Detroit area libraries who lent considerable support and cre- ativity to the conference. And, thank you to our sponsors, exhibitors and partners for their support and participation.
