The library will be known as Stair District Library. Thank you to Ben Miller of Ypsilanti for noticing that I didn't mention that. Also, I should have mentioned that attorney Dick (Richard) Butler of Bloom Sluggett Morgan in Grand Rapids wrote our District Library Agreement. He provided excellent counsel all along the way. We had an unusual situation and he made it possible for us to present the Agreement to the State Librarian a month and a half after our original District Library Planning Committee (which had met for six months with city, library, and two townships' representatives) realized that the only way we'd be able to form a district was with our school district and city. Here's Dick's info: 15 Ionia Ave. SW, Suite 640 Direct Dial (616) 965-9343 Grand Rapids, MI 49503 Direct Fax (616) 965-9353 (616) 965-9340 rbutler@bsmlawpc.com Thanks, Colleen Colleen Leddy, Director Stair Public Library 228 W.

We just received official word that our District Library Agreement was approved, effective December 31, 2014! We formed the district with the City of Morenci and the remaining area of Morenci Area Schools that was not already part of a district library.

Many thanks to the many people in the library community who answered countless questions over the past months. If I can be of help to anyone contemplating this process, please don't hesitate to ask.
