NCLL Board Nominations Notice

On March 26, 2020, all NCLL members having an email address on record received the first call for nominations to the board.
The few members without email or who we know rely on a public computer to read email, e.g. library., will receive a postal mail. If you are aware of an NCLL member with limited email access, please contact the Nominations chair, Sally Olsen (solsen@nmu.edu)

This is the second call for nominations. Details are in the Nominations letter.

IMPORTANT NOTICE---

The NCLL Executive Board, along with our NMU Continuing Ed. liaison, Megan Nowicki, held a telephone conference on April 7, 2020. It was necessary to address the status of the Election of Board Members, the NCLL Secretarial Search, and other NCLL activities amid the continuing Covid-19 crisis.

After much discussion and consideration, the Executive Board unanimously voted to postpone all NCLL activity until further notice. Governor Whitmer has extended the “stay at home” order until the end of May, with a good possibility of it lasting much longer. Because of this, it makes it impossible to know when and where everything will reopen in order to hold meetings, to plan programs or make financial decisions. In addition, NMU is closed indefinitely. Until the time comes when it makes the decision to reopen, NCLL must be patient. It is only prudent to wait until the right time so that NCLL can work and function at its best. As a result, current Board Members will need to stay in place at this time. All of this uncertainty is most unnerving, but NCLL will gradually get back to business as soon as it’s safe.

We will continue to keep you updated when more information is available. In the meantime, stay home and stay healthy.

IMPORTANT NOTICE---

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and in accordance with Governor Whitmer’s statewide Policy, NMU’s Policy, and the Peter White Public Library’s Policy – we will suspend all of our current programs until further notice.
At that time, we will make any further decisions or modifications as needed.

All cancelled programs will be rescheduled during the next few months or sometime in the future with the additional program offerings. If after rescheduling the program, the prepaid enrollees can’t attend, a credit will be issued according to our regular policy. At this time, we will not be issuing credits for winter programs due to the uncertain future of this virus.

The Co-Curriculum Coordinators (Phyllis and Caroline) will work with liaisons on rescheduling programs and contacting the registered class participants on the changes as soon as we know when buildings open up and when the Governor changes the policy.

SPRING MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE
