Yes! Absolutely! Aimee Ankin at Fishbeck Thompson Carr and Huber did a great job for us -- exactly what we wanted for this 126 year old building. Might not be your taste, but it was ours and we got just what we wanted, and even better. We're still getting compliments 4 years later. She's listens; she really knows sources and finishes and people; she's easy to work with and gets back to you; she's fantastic! Aimee L.

E-Rate modernization order report released by FCC
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

A recent memo highlighting the achievements of the E-Rate modernization orders has revealed the following: Michigan received a 232% increase in Category 2 funding (for internal connections needed to enable high-speed broadband connectivity) and that nearly 50,000 schools and libraries nation-wide received Wi‐Fi support in 2015, compared to zero in funding years 2013 and 2014. The memo also reports a drop in the median price of connectivity per Mbps from $22.00 in 2013 to $11.73 in 2015 and $7.05 in 2016. The report also points out that Category 2 budgets will begin to expire in 2019 and action to fund the program is therefore needed. You can read the full report here: http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2017/db0118/DOC-343…. Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.
