Good afternoon! Once again, we're hoping you can help us spread the word about the upcoming election on August 8. Many local communities across Michigan will be having elections that day, so we're asking all libraries to post the attached flyer where your customers can see it and to share the following message via your communication channels. On Monday, August 7, we will send you a social media message that we hope you will also share. As always, thank you for your help!
