K-3 Reading List help
by CATHERINE KERNS 05 Nov '16

05 Nov '16

Does anyone know of a K-3 reading list compiled by age/grade level of characters? A teacher requested a reading list from one of my para-pro's by main characters grade level. I couldn't think of a way to compile this list easily without doing searches by a range of reading level and then reading the book descriptions. Any suggestions? -- *Catherine Kerns* *Library Media Specialist* *Heritage High School* *(989) 799-5790 ext.8080* *White Pine Middle School* *(989) 797-1814 ext. 3241* “A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them.” ― Lemony Snicket <http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/36746.Lemony_Snicket>

Fwd: Former South Lyon Mayor Honors the Two Who Saved His Life
by Donna Olson 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

Hello Libraryland ! We recently hosted a book signing for our former mayor, Tedd Wallace , who has a story with all the twists: near tragedy, rescue, grief, inspiration. He showed photos of the area while narrarating. You may remember when the tragic event occurred during the Spring of 2015. The rest of the story is truly amazing. You might want to host him at your library . I will be happy to share his contact information. Author Talk: Tedd Wallace - My Boogie Board Ride to Denmark [image: My Boogie Board Ride to Denmark (book cover)] <http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=9800+Pontiac+Trail,South+L…> *Hanging on to my boogie board the riptide swirled me around and relentlessly smashed me against the rocks and sucked me below the surface. I knew within minutes, I was going to die. Then came a god given moment of elation, as I was snatched from the churning seas by a native of St. Croix Virgin Island as he risked his life to reach down and pull me out....* Listen to the WHMI interview <http://whmi.com/files/mp3soundfiles/TeddWallace.mp3> for more info!

MAP: Arnold Transit Company Closure
by Jim Flury 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

All, Per the Detroit Free Press article Arnold Transit Company is going out of business and selling its boats and docks to Star Line. Arnold Transit Company was a MAP partner, both for its regular ferry service to Mackinac Island as well as for its Sip 'N Sail Cruises. Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry remains a MAP partner with its regular ferry service as well as with its Shepler's Lighthouse Cruises. We have reached out to Star Line in the past about MAP, but received no response. We will talk to Star Line again in Spring, 2017 about the possibility of them becoming a MAP partner. On that note, if anyone has an "in" with someone at Star Line, please contact me. Thanks. http://www.freep.com/story/money/business/2016/11/03/mackinac-island-arnold… Jim 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

Joint Building Authorities
by Dale Parus 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hello, Michlib subscribers: I am seeking information on joint building authorities and property deed transfers. Specifically, I am interested in more information on the following situations as they pertain to district libraries in Michigan: 1. Where a newly-formed district library received the transfer of a deed to the library property directly from a municipality and were there any conditions? 2. Where the district library and a local community created a new joint municipal authority which was then granted the library building and property. 3. Where the district library and one or more municipalities created a joint authority which then issued bonds for a construction project. Please describe whether the creation of this new authority was subject to a successful bond election and the year, amount and repayment conditions of the bond. Please contact me directly and then I will be most happy to report back the results of the research to the list later this month. Thanks! --- Dale Parus, Director Ionia Community Library parusdhpw(a)gmail.com *Enriching Your Life*
