National Park Service Withdraws From Michigan Activity Pass Program
by Jim Flury 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

All, The National Park Service has elected to withdraw from the Michigan Activity Pass program. Therefore, effective at 7:00 a.m. today, Friday, August 26 I have removed the seven NPS sites from the Michigan Activity Pass website. Library patrons may no longer print new MAP passes for Isle Royale National Park, Keweenaw National Historical Park, MotorCities National Heritage Area, North Country National Scenic Trail, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, River Raisin National Battlefield, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. MAP passes for these seven venues that are redeemed ONLY under the terms spelled out in the National Park Service Every Kid In a Park program https://www.everykidinapark.gov/ will continue to be honored until the expiration date on the printed MAP pass. Since the MAP software allows passes to be printed 14 days in advance, library patrons may have in their possession MAP passes with expiration dates up until and including, September 9. NPS retains the right to decline the MAP pass at any of its seven Michigan venues that is not redeemed according to the terms and conditions spelled out at https://www.everykidinapark.gov/ We will work to remove the NPS and EKIP logos from the MAP website, as well as from the advanced search function. TLN would like to thank the National Park Service, via the Every Kid In a Park program, for its partnership with the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Flury Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us

Piano anyone?
by Corey Seeman 28 Aug '16

28 Aug '16

Hi everyone - I hope this finds you well. While most people focus on cleaning up their houses during the Spring, we are either very early or very late. We are looking for a new home for our family piano that we purchased around 15 years ago. It is a Bergmann upright piano by Young Chang (Heritage Series). It is a fine upright that has not been played for a number of years (unless you count the cats walking on the keys). It has a nice stool that matches the wood of the piano. It currently is sitting in my living room in Saline, Michigan. Having said all that, I would like to see if there is a Michigan library that might want this upright piano. I would ask for the library to pay for the move - and you would need to have it tuned upon arrival to its new home. But that is it. If we can find a home for this piano in a library - that would be all the payment we would like. If you are interested or have questions, please let me know via email. Here is a picture of the piano: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-SNnT9lIyVSYVdndnJUdmtlRUE/view?usp=shari… Thanks everyone.
