“not in the habit of charging any fees when doing verbal appraisals for non-profit organizations.
If the appraisal needs to be typed or defended in court I charge for this service”

Consulting
The White Pine Library Cooperative offers consulting to libraries on a variety of issues relating to libraries and librarianship. Additionally, the Cooperative has staff with expertise in technology issues, administrative issues (such as bookkeeping, etc.) and legislation. Please contact the White Pine Library Cooperative office with your questions. Phone: (989) 793-7126 or email Bryon Sitler at b.sitler@vlc.lib.mi.us
Continuing Education
Each November, the Cooperative will coordinate a survey determining the continuing education needs and desires of the membership for the calendar year.
Ten workshops will be held with some topics repeated within the year. Each workshop will offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for interested participants and be conducted in the White Pine Region. Member libraries will be charged a minimum $10.00 fee to cover workshop expenses. An average cost to attend a workshop is $30.00 for a half-day, $50 for a full day. If lunch is provided in conjunction with a workshop, the cost will be incorporated into the basic fee schedule. Non-Cooperative members will be charged a higher fee to be determined by the workshop variables. A 6-session Basic Library Skills Institute will be offered to the membership (one session per week) in the White Pine Region. A higher fee will be assessed for this Beginning Workshop series.
Associate members will be charged a special fee to attend workshops sponsored by the White Pine Library Cooperative. Non-Cooperative members will also be charged a higher fee to be determined by the workshop variables.
Persons who have attended one of our workshops and received CEUs can search our CEU database to see how many credits they've earned. The staff member must login using their last name and last four digits of SS#. Login Here.

Resource Sharing
Interlibrary Loan
Full members will use regional databases (such as VLC & MeLCat) to locate needed materials in the collections of member libraries. Requests will be placed electronically for processing. Materials not in collections regionally will be requested via OCLC by Cooperative staff. Member libraries will be responsible for paying any fees assessed by lending libraries when borrowing materials via OCLC or any other lending agency.

A delivery system, managed by the Library of Michigan, is used to move the books around the cooperative.
