The following information was taken directly from a WI Libraries for Everyone blog post. As Mark mentioned in yesterday’s Wisconsin Libraries for Everyone blog post, beginning May 23, 2021, the COVID-era Unemployment Insurance (UI) work search waiver disappeared. Wisconsinites filing for unemployment insurance benefits (with certain exceptions) must now complete and document four work search activities per week.
Assisting residents with filing Unemployment Insurance (UI) claims and with job seeking are among the top priorities as libraries are able to resume service delivery within their communities. The Libraries Activating Workforce Development Skills (LAWDS) project is well-situated to enhance the ability of public library staff to meet those needs. The Department of Public Instruction is working closely with partners from the Wisconsin Library Association, Wisconsin’s public libraries and systems, the Department of Workforce Development and the Wisconsin Workforce Development Boards to re-envision the activities of the grant to align them with current needs. A number of partner resources and previously recorded webinars might be the refresher you need to help you help UI claimants:  WisconsinHistory.org The Wisconsin Historical Records Advisory Board (WHRAB), with support from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) is offering scholarships to attend the 2021 Society of American Archivists (SAA) Annual Meeting. The conference will be held online August 2-6, 2021.
To be considered for the scholarship, the application should be received no later than Friday, July 2, 2021. Recipients will be notified by email of their status by Monday, July 19, 2021. Visit https://www2.archivists.org/am2021 for more information on SAA and www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Article/CS4407 for more information on WHRAB professional development scholarships. Linked below are a PDF and Word document version of the application:

The Kewaunee Public Library and Algoma Public Library are happy to announce that, effective June 1, 2021, overdue fines will not accrue on children and teen print materials – no matter what the age of the person checking out the materials. The libraries are excited to be following the practice of many libraries around the country and removing this potential barrier to library services.
This is their way of removing any reading barrier that they can to help increase childhood literacy and improve library access for the youth of Kewaunee County. Fines can potentially be an obstacle that disproportionately impact people without the means to pay. Removing these fines (while still requiring the items to be returned) will allow more people to enjoy their materials for education, enrichment, and inspiration. Patrons will continue to be charged for lost or damaged items. The libraries still encourage that patrons bring back those children and teen print materials on time to make materials available to others who would like to borrow them. |
