15:05:01 From Janet McKenney : I'm muting everyone as people join 15:11:37 From Ruth Eveland : Question for anyone who has a useful thought: we are pondering doing a couple of online programs for adults, and could do either interactive (e.g. Zoom) or just post a recording. If you have experience with either, please reach out to Ruth Eveland: reveland@jesuplibrary.org. Thanks. 15:14:02 From Nicole Rancourt : MHC is working with some folks on Zoom facilitator skills shares. Our first two are this week (and are full). We’ll be offering more, however. If anyone is interested in potentially attending something like this, or would like to know more, please email me: nicole@mainehumanities.org 15:14:33 From Lisa Shaw : NICOLE!!!!!! 15:15:14 From Jill : Not sure if this will open correctly, but there is a handy Zoom-protection guide https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10216681250879333&set=a.1683823611097&type=3&theater&ifg=1 15:15:23 From Beckie, JML : Our patrons have enjoyed having the time before and after a Zoom activity to chat with each other for a few minutes. 15:16:06 From alice : I don't know if this is a relevant question for today but now that maine is closed for shipments from Baker and Taylor, can we or are we advised to still place orders which can be shipped when permission is given? 15:16:31 From Michelle's iPad : Nicole is there’s chance we may be able to do let’s talk about it with zoom if we need too? 15:16:54 From Jill : People have been sharing the guide on Twitter and Facebook and I haven't gotten a good capture of it. But it is useful if you are going to Zoom with the public. You can google "10 ways to secure Zoom". 15:17:19 From Nicole Rancourt : @ Michelle, yes. Email me and I can fill you in. 15:17:21 From Deborah Clark : You can still order from Baker & Taylor. You just need to call them and let them know when you can receive deliveries. 15:17:55 From Heather Runnels : Thanks for the new MSBA books on CloudLibrary, James! 15:18:57 From Rich Boulet : No. I am not drinking moonshine. 15:20:27 From Julia Hoisington : B&T are also accommodating us with an alternative delivery option fromour library to a personal address 15:21:11 From Barb Rehmeyer : There have been a couple posts on ME-Libs recently about archiving this episode for history. I thought Governor Mills intro today would be a valuable piece to archive. Is there a statewide initiative for something like this? Or is there an easy way to do this locally? I looked at Omega but wasn’t impressed. I liked theis Minnesota site https://libguides.d.umn.edu/covid-19 Can we do a Wordpress blog and host on MSLN????? 15:22:01 From Nicole Rancourt to Janet McKenney(Privately) : Bernie accidentally sent this to me privately and asked me to pass it on to you. 15:22:05 From Nicole Rancourt to Janet McKenney(Privately) : Hi Janet Thanks for all you are doing for us. It's amazing. I just have one suggestion: When I went to the MSL website to get today's zoom link, the website said the zoom would be later because of Gov. Mills' address. I wasn't sure if it was an announcement for today 4/7, or from the last time this happened (2 weeks ago?) I'd suggest putting a date into the announcement, such as "today 4/7...." 15:23:59 From alisia.revitt@maine.edu : I would assume that the state archives would be collecting all the official proclamations from the state government, as that's their remit 15:25:02 From Barb Rehmeyer : Maine Memory Network might be collecting as well. 15:26:08 From ab : Janet, you are doing great! 15:26:17 From Bernie : thank you Janet for letting us know in person as well 15:26:37 From joanna : Council 15:28:53 From quint : zoom dropped just as meeting was beginning - having problems with zoom today on pc 15:33:39 From joanna : 2 1/2 times the monthly payroll on the PPP 15:34:29 From Rich Boulet : EIDL is $10k PPP is 2.5 times your average monthly payroll for 2019. 15:35:36 From Mamie Ney : I have simeslides from a presentqation 15:37:13 From Mamie Ney : I have some slides from a presentation that a local attorney and board member did about the programs that I can share. 15:37:29 From Michelle Conners : The PPP loan is easy to apply for, paperwork wise. Just have your 2019 detail P&L ready and your 2019 941 quarterlys. Some banks may ask for something else in addition to the application but that's the bulk of it. 15:38:12 From Barb Rehmeyer : My son said he was successful in applying for unemployment last night online. Read the help files as he said the tips were very helpful when applying. 15:38:19 From Rich Boulet : +1 @Michelle Conners. Very simple application. 15:39:15 From Matthew Graff : Very interested in learning more about EIDL 15:39:32 From Andrea DeBiase : zoom? 15:39:36 From joanna : BBH did the PPP 15:39:56 From Sharon Kelly : All of this information was covered in the webinar correct? 15:40:05 From Ruth Eveland : Our banker is entering our PPP info as we speak. 15:40:07 From Rich Boulet : I have applied. No word yet 15:40:40 From Rich Boulet : + utilities 15:40:50 From Michelle Conners : Submitting application at this moment. Had prepared it and am just getting the final approval vote from the Board. - That's what took the longest... 15:41:06 From NancyCrowell : Applied for PPP but still at the bank because of the volume of applications. 15:41:46 From shelbymonroe : Can you say more about the cost to a library that hasn't paid unemployment insurance before; how much will it cost if one or two employees is furloughed and applies for unemployment? 15:43:12 From Matthew Graff : What expenses are appropriate for payment by EIDL? I have heard its purpose is very broad to provide cash to continue doing business. 15:44:47 From joanna : PPP seems more legit for libraries IMO 15:45:27 From Beth Kane : Are all libraries who have applied 501c3 libraries? 15:45:53 From Rich Boulet : PPP 15:47:03 From DanHester : Does the PPP apply to library staff who are municipal employees?? 15:47:24 From Kate - SW Harbor Public Library : When topic appropriate, Any updates on the van delivery status? 15:48:26 From Mamie Ney : Shelby...Whatever the State pays out in unemployment benefits needs to be reimbursed to the State. 15:48:31 From Michelle Conners : https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/coronavirus-relief-options/paycheck-protection-program-ppp 15:49:13 From Dana Chevalier : Should librarians be moving forward with planning in-person summer programming at this time, or should that remain on hold for now? 15:49:34 From Liz : Does the State Library want their large print books returned to them (via USPS)? Is there anyone at the state library to receive them? 15:50:24 From James Ritter : Liz -- that is fine, yes, you can return to MSL via USPS. We do have people to receive, but if it's just as easy to hold them, that is okay. 15:50:35 From Thomas College : Public calendar would be great. 15:51:03 From FCL Staff : Public calendar would be helpful. We are trying to build our online offerings, but have a small audience so far. 15:51:13 From Caroline Ward-Nesbit : Agreed, public calendar would be awesome. 15:51:15 From Falmouth Memorial Library : A calendar like that would be wonderful! 15:51:24 From Marcela Peres : That would be great! 15:51:27 From Leila Roy : 100% yes 15:51:31 From Brenda L. Gould : Public Calendar sounds great! 15:51:31 From Dana Chevalier : yes to the calendar! 15:51:32 From Kelli Burnham : Yes, please! 15:51:33 From Cynthia Young : Love that idea! 15:51:33 From Nicole Rancourt : I think a calendar would be great. 15:51:35 From joanna : If you're up for it :) 15:51:37 From Tammy - WPL : Love 15:51:37 From Susan Schroeder : I would love a public calendar! 15:51:37 From Ogunquit Library : Yes 15:51:38 From Cindy Appleby : Yes, good idea 15:51:38 From Sharon Trafton : yes! 15:51:40 From Chip : calendar is great! 15:51:43 From michelle conroy : Yes yes 15:51:47 From Nancy : Yes! Thanks! 15:51:51 From Mary-Lou Boucouvalas : One more thing for you to do Janet! Thanks for making all of this happen. 15:51:59 From NancyCrowell : We are restricting access to and duration of our story times to conform to publisher requests. 15:52:02 From Brooke Faulkner : Definitely, yes! 15:52:19 From CYNTHIA SMITH : yes, from Limerick 15:52:24 From Holly Williams : I'm ok with a calendar but I also think people are vastly overwhelmed with the amount of info. 15:53:56 From Rich Boulet : +1 @Holly Williams 15:54:20 From Rich Boulet : Are we still paying for the non-delivery times? 15:55:13 From Amy Levine : And the MSL will be publishing a guideline for that, yes? (pre- and re-opening plans) 15:55:24 From James Ritter : Yes Amy 15:55:27 From Holly Williams : I'm thinking June. 15:56:12 From Lee Perkins : Any thoughts on a MSL big PR push for the additional Cloud Library books to ME News Media ? Thank you for leading ME Libraries through these difficult times. 15:56:33 From Barb Rehmeyer : Reposting again: There have been a couple posts on ME-Libs recently about archiving this episode for history. I thought Governor Mills intro today would be a valuable piece to archive. Is there a statewide initiative for something like this? Or is there an easy way to do this locally? I looked at Omega but wasn’t impressed. I liked theis Minnesota site https://libguides.d.umn.edu/covid-19 Can we do a Wordpress blog and host on MSLN????? 15:56:44 From Deanna McNamara : Our circ supervisor is thinking of requesting that patrons return on a timeline based on the first letter of their last name, when the time comes. Just food for thought. I thought it was a great idea. 15:57:20 From Amy Levine : Thanks, Jamie--I don't think that will be the case here, however, we may need that for back-up, in case we are pushed to re-open immediately. 15:57:21 From Andrea DeBiase : Early June target date for MLB! 15:57:28 From Lee Perkins : Roll a credit for us and do not add this to your list. Thanks 15:57:42 From Rich Boulet : Thank you! 15:57:51 From Mamie Ney : Credit works for us. 15:58:16 From Thomas College : Credit is fine 15:58:57 From annefromans : Credit is fine for us. 15:59:10 From Barb Rehmeyer : I was actually thinking more of public submitting primary documents 15:59:48 From Jenna : PPL is going to start a local first person account archive, soliciting material starting this week 16:00:04 From Jenna : for our archive and digital commons 16:00:09 From Barb Rehmeyer : Like this https://libguides.d.umn.edu/covid-19 16:00:11 From Holly Williams : +1@Jenna.

We did not push the cloud library, since it's not universally available and because it's already slammed. 16:03:18 From Liz Davis : :( Gotta rethink! 16:03:27 From Kara Library : And I'm working on compiling some summer reading resources for everyone. 16:03:28 From Nicole Rancourt : We plan on continuing with Read ME and pushing the general program to align with re-opening of buildings, etc. 16:03:38 From Michelle Sampson : I've heard Wandoo is no longer accepting new clients 16:03:45 From Michelle Sampson : They're overwhelmed and over capacity 16:03:55 From Pam Slattery-Thomas to Janet McKenney(Privately) : Hi Janet!
