Maps available
by Tonja Brice 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

We have two maps that were donated by a patron that we do not need at our library. One is Wayland, MI dated 1959 in nice condition, and the other is Mount Pleasant, MI dated 1973 which has a little more wear, but still in good condition. If anyone would like them, we are happy to send through RIDES. Please include your RIDES number in your email and which map(s) that you would like to have. I will email you to verify it has been sent to you. -- Tonja Brice Teen & Adult Services Associate Brandon Township Public Library 304 South St. Ortonville, MI 48462 248.627.1462 tbrice(a)brandonlibrary.org

New MAP Partner Destination Venue: This One is REALLY SWEET!
by Jim Flury 20 Jun '17

20 Jun '17

All, I am pleased to announce the addition of the Sanders and Morley Candy Factory Tour http://www.sanderscandy.com/factory-tours to the Michigan Activity Pass program. Please note that on account a remodeling project, tours are temporarily suspended until Fall, 2017. No matter; that will only serve to whet the appetite of your library patrons to see how the sweet stuff that we all love to eat, is made. I plan to enjoy a bowl of ice cream with [ http://www.sanderscandy.com/dark-chocolate-peppermint-topping-10-oz.html | Dark Chocolate Peppermint Pattie Topping ] on it when I get home tonight. What is your favorite Sanders product? Whatever it is, the only thing better than seeing it made, is eating it! Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Flury Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us
