Please see below for information on the Michigan State Police Summer of Safety Campaign for all public libraries. The MSP will be sending promotional materials to libraries in May for use in your summer programming. _______________________________________________________ The Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP) is asking Michigan libraries to join us for the second year of the summer traffic safety campaign, Michigan Summer of Safety. Michigan Summer of Safety is a reminder to all of us to "take safety along for the ride" by driving and boating sober, wearing helmets and reflective gear when biking and riding motorcycles, and always wearing a seat belt. The goal is to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries on Michigan roads by increasing seat belt use and safe summer travel. In May, OHSP will be mailing all Michigan libraries bookmarks, stickers and a banner. Libraries can also join the conversation on social media by following OHSP on Facebook and Twitter and using #misummerofsafety to promote safe travels from Memorial Day to Labor Day. #misummerofsafety will provide a platform for a more significant social media presence and increase your reach on safety messages to your audience. Additional Michigan Summer of Safety support materials include placemats, flyers and sample social media posts are available for download at www.michigan.gov/ohsp<http://www.michigan.gov/ohsp>. Once you receive your materials, you can order more by contacting Cindy Stoneham at 517-636-4256 or stonehamc@michigan.gov<mailto:stonehamc@michigan.gov>.
