Sharing information about an opportunity for free air purifiers and replacement filters that has been opened up to public libraries. The MI Indoor Air Ventilation program has been offering free air purifiers and replacement filters to K-12 schools, shelters, juvenile justice centers and long-term care facilities. They are now extending the program to public libraries.
