***A Library in Need!!!!!
by Andrus, Miriam 20 Jan '21

20 Jan '21

Hello Library Friends - In May of 2020, the Midland, MI community sustained substantial flood damage after two dams failed. Bridges were washed away, homes were ruined, but the Midland community came together to help one another (amid a pandemic no less!) The Grace A. Dow Memorial Library was no exception. We sustained substantial flooding to our lower level when water poured into the basement through our windows. We are now working our way through a 2 million dollar renovation project to restore our library and mechanical systems. However, this e-mail is not about my Library. This e-mail is about Windover High School's Library. Windover is a specialized high school that accommodates Teens who often experience homelessness, abuse, and neglect. The School has a food pantry, shower for students, and a basic needs pantry (clothes, chap stick, deodorant, etc.). They even have a laundry so students can wash their clothes at school if needed. In May, 90% of their library was washed away. Water was almost 4 feet high in their building and their books were housed on short picture book shelves. It wasn't until right before Christmas that they reached out to me to see if our library could help them. They have received many book donations but many are too old, (think 1970's encyclopedias), or not geared toward teens. They need materials and don't have money to purchase much as they too are dealing with a large and expensive renovation project. If anyone reading this e-mail has extra Teen books we would greatly appreciate them in Midland! I know librarians are big readers and some of you may have books sitting around your homes you are willing to donate. Maybe some of your libraries are weeding your Teen collection and somewhere to send your books. We would love any teen materials we can get. If you have donations you can mail them to 1710 West St. Andrews Midland, MI 48640, send them through rides ZV225, or if you are in our area you can drop them off in our exterior book drop. Even if you only have one book, it will help. If you want to see how the flood affected our Library you can watch our video here https://fb.watch/386fSYHBvq/ Thank you for any/all of your help!! -Miriam [cid:image011.jpg@01D6EF23.14D5D460] Miriam Andrus Director, Grace A.

Withdrawn Book Club Book Sets
by Maria Williams 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '21

Dear Michlib- We have withdrawn the following titles in good condition from our Book Club collection and are offering them to any Michigan library that could use them. All are in "gently used" to "like new" condition. I've not stamped or marked them above and beyond our normal library processing to make it easier for other libraries to add their own processing. I've indicated the number of copies/formats for each title. If you would like any of these sets please reply to me with the title(s) you want and your RIDES ID number and I will send them to you. I will not split the sets. I've pasted the titles below for convenience but will update this Google doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vlk4-sDgpeaVnzozUo6Fv04kpISP1pT1lkvf2M5…>with the current availability status so you can see in real time what's still available.
