Good Morning MAP Sponsors and Supporters,

I wanted to share with you an email we received from the state librarian of North Carolina. Considering our current weather I am willing to travel to NC so as to provide that hands on, personal touch for MAP :)

Hi Jim & Jim,

Here is the message from the North Carolina State Librarian.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shepard, Caroline < cal.shepard@ncdcr.gov > Date: Fri, Dec 9, 2016 at 3:32 PM Subject: I want to copy you! To: " michiganactivitypass@gmail.com " < michiganactivitypass@gmail.com >

Good afternoon!

Public libraries in North Carolina are interested in developing a program similar to your Activity Pass program. I’ve been on your website and have reviewed lots of your materials. It’s obvious why the libraries are excited about the program. Can you provide me with information about what the benefits of such a program are for the sites involved? Many of our state sites rely on revenue for operating expenses and are, understandably, nervous about giving up any revenue. Any (and all) advice you can supply is most welcome.

Thanks!

Cal Shepard
