Hello – just a reminder that these materials are still available free to your library until Apr. 1, 2017.

One correction to the email below – we can and will use RIDES to ship materials when possible.

Thank you!

Bernadette

Subject: Free books from the Library of Michigan

Hello – the Library of Michigan has free materials we are offering to the library community. To take advantage of this opportunity, see the information below and the attached spreadsheet (please note there is both a ‘new’ and a ‘used’ tab). Feel free to forward this message to other library groups or listservs within Michigan.

Content and condition

The titles listed on the ‘new’ sheet are extra copies of fiction and non-fiction (hard and soft cover) books submitted to the Michigan Notable Books program over the last year and either contain Michigan content and/or were written by a Michigan author. The ‘used’ tab contains paperbacks that were received as donations and are not needed in our collections (they have no library stamps/labels).

How to request

Please submit requests by email (respond to this message). If you are local or passing through, you are welcome to schedule a time to select and claim materials on-site from 8am-5pm, Mon.-Fri. Email bartlettb@michigan.gov if you want to schedule a visit.

Email requests are handled on a first-come basis by date and time. Some or all of the materials you request may no longer be available at the point we receive your email. Only requests for which we can supply NO materials will receive an email response.

Shipping

The Library of Michigan has limited funding for shipping. We will ship free for materials costing up to $20.00 per institution until/unless the funding is exhausted. If your request will cost more than $20.00 to ship, we will contact you to arrange reimbursement or pick-up. We cannot send materials via MeLDelivery, nor do we accept postage reimbursement. Materials will only be shipped via UPS or Interdepartmental mail (for state government only).

Email requests must include the title as noted on the spreadsheet(s), a delivery address (street address only, no p.o. box), contact name, phone number and email address. Emails should be directed to bartlettb@michigan.gov

Deadline

If you are interested in any of these materials, please respond to this email no later than April 1, 2017. Materials will be shipped as soon as time and resources allow.

Thanks for your time, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
