Tobacco and Smoke free library grounds - does your policy include marijuana?
by Andrea Ingmire 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

Hi all, Our board is considering making our grounds smoke and tobacco free. I also think we need to include marijuana in this... as we're seeing/smelling more of it all the time. Anyone have a policy that includes all combustibles, vaping, etc? I'd also like to address the rolling of cigarettes and other smoking substances. It's a problem from a mess standpoint, and there's a certain yuck factor to watching folks roll cigs in our magazine room... Thanks in advance for any responses!

Statement of support for Michigan State University
by Oster, Adam (MDE) 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

Statement of support for Michigan State University: [Text Description automatically generated] Today we are unable to find any consolation following the tragedy that occurred at Michigan State University last night. There is no justification for an indiscriminate attack on a college campus or at any other venue. As we struggle with processing this incomprehensible act of violence, we know this is a moment to collectively work to prevent devastating events like this in the future. We support the University's students, faculty, staff, and their families as we condemn this senseless violence. We are grateful to the heroic work of the first responders who helped save as many lives as possible. It is our shared responsibility to act now to see that our schools, colleges, libraries, and communities are safe from such acts.
