District library board organizational meeting agenda
by Colleen Leddy 13 Dec '14

13 Dec '14

Got a minute? I sure could use your help! We are waiting to hear if our District Library Agreement will be approved by the State Librarian. In the meantime, I am trying to accomplish a great deal in a short span of time, since, if we are approved, the district would become effective Dec. 31, 2014 (trying to beat the sunset on forming a district library with a school district). It would be very helpful to see the agenda for your district library board's very first meeting, the organizational meeting when your board first met. Could you please email that to me? Or fax to 517-458-3378. Thank you! Colleen Colleen Leddy, Director Stair Public Library 228 W. Main St. Morenci, MI 49256 517/458-6510 Monday & Wednesday: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
