Update on Penal Fines
by Webb, Kathy (MDE) 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Good morning, I hope that penal fines have made their way to your library. I do have news that Saginaw and Wayne counties have/or are in the process of issuing checks. I have not heard from the following county Treasurers: Baraga, Chippewa, Emmet, Gladwin, Kalamazoo, Keweenaw, Manistee, Mecosta & Muskegon Counties. This does not mean that they didn't distribute fines, it means that I have not received their reporting that is due September 1, 2018. If you are in any of these counties and have received your fines, please email me at webbk1(a)michigan.gov<mailto:webbk1@michigan.gov>. I would love to know. Thanks!

Library seating

I can't remember the name of the company that makes library seating here in Michigan. They often have cutouts on the backs of the seats. I think the company name starts with an L. Help?

Corrected link: 2018 NLA Community Reads Book: The Poisoned City by Anna Clark
by Donna Olson 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

The Neighborhood Library Association (NLA) is pleased to announce the selection of their ninth annual Community Reads book, *The Poisoned City* by Anna Clark. A full account of the Flint, Michigan, water scandal, an American tragedy, from an award-winning Michigan journalist, Anna Clark, *The Poisoned City* recounts the gripping story of Flint’s poisoned water through the people who caused it, suffered from it, and exposed it. It is a chronicle of one town, but could also be about any American city, all made precarious by the neglect of infrastructure and the erosion of democratic decision-making. Each of the six NLA libraries will host book discussions and book-related events, culminating in an author visit at 7 PM Friday, November 9 at Wixom Public Library. Participating libraries are Lyon Township Public Library, Northville District Library, Novi Public Library, Salem-South Lyon District Library, Walled Lake City Library, and Wixom Public Library. Everyone is welcome to attend the Community Reads events: *Roger & Me (Documentary Screening)* Tuesday, September 25 at 6:30 p.m. at Walled Lake City Library; *Oakland County Water Infrastructure 101* Thursday, September 20 at 6:30 p.m. Novi Public Library; *The Flint Water Crisis & the Ongoing Struggle for Justice in Flint *Wednesday, October 10 at 7 p.m. at Salem-South Lyon District Library*; Flow: For the Love of Water: Documentary Screening *Wednesday, Oct. 24 at 6:30 p.m. at Walled Lake City Library; *The Flint River & the Drinking Water Crisis *Monday, October 29 at 7 p.m. at Northville District Library; *Meet the Author – Anna Clark * Friday, November 9 at 7:00 p.m. at Wixom Public Library.
