Hi All-many or most of you may already be aware of this, but just in case, NPR is doing a special series on public libraries! Entitled, "Keys To The Whole World: American Public Libraries", you can listen to all the stories by clicking on the link below. Just today on Morning Edition, you can find out how libraries play an important role in disaster recovery. http://www.npr.org/series/209598179/public-libraries-in-america I've also posted this to the Library of Michigan's Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Library-of-Michigan/54064216770?ref=hl which you are also welcome to "Like"!
