FW: Special Collections Update - February 25, 2023

A RESPECTABLE Valentine, Annual Reports program, and the Associate Libraries Program [Library of Michigan logo] Special Collections Update - Febrary 25, 2023 A RESPECTABLE Valentine, Annual Reports program, and the Associate Libraries Program [Aretha Franklin, Queen of Soul]A R E S P E C T A B L E Valentine It was on February 14, 1967, that a then little-known Aretha Franklin recorded what was to become one of her greatest hits, and in fact by some reckoning is considered THE greatest song of all time<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. Her version of Respect<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> jumped to the top of the charts within four months and Aretha went on to become a legend. In 2017 NPR marked the 50th anniversary of that recording with a story<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> highlighting how Aretha transformed the song from its original meaning when it was initially composed by Otis Redding.

In the over one hundred years since this certificate was issued in 1921, most people these days won't know what it represents. Diving deeper into the history of the Associate Library program. it was part of a greater effort to bring library material and information to people across the state of Michigan. The origin of the Associate Library program comes from Public Act No. 28 of 1895: "An act to provide for the management and control, and for the extension of the usefulness of the State Library."<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> The legislation helped reorganize the management of the State Library and established two key programs: the Traveling Library system and the Associate Library program. The Traveling Library system comprised of collections of 50 books that libraries, schools, granges, reading clubs, and other organizations across the state could request be sent to their community. The Associate Library program allowed for members to request items directly from the collections of the State Library. Any public, incorporated, school, and college library in the state who met the requirements of the program could apply to be an Associate Library. The Dowagiac Ladies' Library Association was the first to apply in 1895 and was Associate Library No. 1. Boyne City Public Library (now Boyne District Library) became Associate Library No. 112 on January 21, 1921. In many ways, the Associate Library program can be viewed as a precursor to the modern MeLCat system used today as part of the Michigan eLibrary<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. Like Boyne District Library, all Associate Libraries were issued a certificate identifying their institution as part of the program. Over one hundred libraries participated in it, and we encourage them to look in their administrative records to try to locate their own Associate Library certificate.
