Dear Michigan Library Friends: I sent the following message out mid-April.  I received 18 responses.  In sharing the information with our City Manager, he asked that I try to get more responses from those of you who are City Libraries.  We are established under PA 164 of 1877.  Feel free to answer if you are not a city library.  Donna Clark, Director Cedar Springs Public Library Class III, population 9,467 ********************* Our community is moving ahead on our new library building plans. We are a city library.  We would like to survey several MI libraries to find out the following: 1.  Type of Library you represent – especially interested in PA 164 of 1877 2.  Population served 3.  Who owns your library building and property 3.  What arrangement do you have with your municipality regarding your      building, its operations and maintenance? Is there anything you would      change about your present agreement if you could? 4.  How are you funded? 5.  Who would you suggest we approach for donations for construction? Partial replies are acceptable - we don't live in a perfect world and you are all busy!   Thank you for considering our request.   Donna Clark, Library Director Class III, population 9,467 ------- End of Forwarded Message -------
