Patriot Week September 11-17 Library Inititative
by Lisa Valerio-Nowc 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

Good Morning, I am happy to announce that I am the Patriot Week, Inc Director of the Library Initiative. Many libraries in Michigan have benefited from this program in the past and we hope that old friends and new ones join us this year. In the past public and academic libraries participating in Patriot Week Library Initiative received a $100 grant to purchase new books to add the library's American history collection. This year there is a new opportunity to receive $150 grant to help support library programs that promote the ideas set forth in Patriot Week and the U.S. Constitution. If you are interested in applying for either grant opportunities please email me at lvalerio-nowc(a)patriotweek.org. I will send along the application along with free materials to help your library celebrate Patriot Week this year. If you would like me to come visit your library to speak to your staff or library board about how libraries can become a partner in this Celebration of renewing the American Spirit though books and libraries, please reach out to me. I will be more than happy to come out. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call 586-260-4912. Thanks! Lisa Lisa Valerio-Nowc Library Administrator Royal Oak Twp Public Library 21131 Gardenlane Ferndale, MI 48220 248-542-9205 lvalerio-nowc(a)tln.lib.mi.us

Question regarding change in DDA boundaries
by Sheila Bissonnette 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Hello everyone, I just received notification that our DDA is planning on expanding the boundaries of the current DDA. I’m wondering if some one can share with me how this process will working regarding the recent changes giving libraries and automatic opt out. Our City just posted that they will be holding a public meeting so they haven’t approved the boundary changes. I’m just assuming that they first have to approve the boundary change before any things change? We will get a notice that the boundaries have changed asking us to opt in? Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sheila Sheila M. Bissonnette, MLIS Library Director Cell phone: 989-878-0450 Pere Marquette District Library 185 E.
