You asked for it… ADULT PROGRAMMING!

Join LM at 10:00 am Monday for a virtual discussion with several staff members from Willard Public Library.  We will learn how they moved from in-person programming to a robust and regular schedule of virtual programs that several staff members take part in providing to their community.

The Library of Michigan is offering these virtual discussions to bring members of our library community together to learn and share with one another.
