by Estelle Kirby 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

My name is Estelle Kirby and I am with the Howell Friends of the Library. Last year you sent a request for information on Swearengin LLC. At this time we are looking for someone who will take our excess donations, and I wondered whether you were able to find out anything about this company or perhaps decided to work with them. I would appreciate any information you can give me. Thank you. Estelle Kirby Howell Carnegie District Library Howell, MI 517-404-6830 ekirby42(a)hotmail.com Sent from my iPad

Planetarium passes for SRP prize!
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

I contacted planetariums across Michigan this winter hoping for passes to share widely among libraries. Flint’s Longway Planetarium<http://sloanlongway.org/Longway-Planetarium/> has graciously created a pass<http://bit.ly/2Vg0Bm5> for any public library in the state to use as a SRP prize with children. I know many library locations may be too far from Genesee County, but some families may travel, so I would encourage you to maybe tucking the passes in a prize basket of sorts or offering it as an incentive option to families…. If you use the Longway Planetarium pass<http://bit.ly/2Vg0Bm5>, please fill in your public library’s name. Meanwhile, if you are working with a Planetarium in your region, feel free to pass my contact information on to them (they should have an email from me 😉 ) if they’re interested in offering something similar. #LibrariesLiftoff Thanks, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
