Book of Unknown Origin
by Candy Mahoney 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Would you be able to send this out on the list? One of our patrons returned this book. It has an RFID tag that brings up the same code that's written on the flyleaf. There are library spine labels but not a single identifying stamp or sticker. I'm curious if anyone recognizes where it might be from. The patron thinks she got it through our library, though I'm not sure how that can be possible.

A lyrical look at the interconnectedness of life and a mother's tender love. (From the publisher) "An amazing story set within the beauty of the Native American world. The words, the emotions are heart deep, and the illustrations will take your breath with their beauty. I wish this book would have been around when our children were small. I have and will be buying it for others--a great gift for little ones and their parents and grandparents!" -- Sue Harrison, national bestselling author of /The Midwife's Touch/ "This is a wonderful addition to anyone's life.

Budget Approval Process
by Sharon Crotser-Toy 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Greetings, all! We are a PA 164 city library. As a branch of city government, is public notification/comment a required piece of our budget approval process? We've done this in the past but the process is so much more under the control of the city, changes are sometimes made after our board has approved the library's budget. Can anyone shed more light on the process, how it is handled by your library and municipality if you are a city library? Any help will be greatly appreciated, as well as your time to offer it! Thanks, Sharon Sharon CrotserToy Director St. Ignace Public Library 110 West Spruce Street St. Ignace, MI 49781 (906) 643-8318
