I am pleased to announce that the Friends of Michigan Libraries (FOML) has awarded the 2015 “Harriet Larson Founders Grant” to *The Friends of the Munising Public Library*. They have made great strides to improve their Friends organization and applied through FOML’s grant program to help them in continuing that work. We applaud the Friends of the Munising Public Library’s efforts on behalf of their library. It is organizations like theirs that help keep Michigan libraries a vital part of our cultural life. Harriet Larson was a founding member of The Friends of Michigan Libraries. Her love of books and service to The Friends of the Library - especially at the Livonia Public Library - is legendary. To honor her memory, the FOML Board awards a grant worth up to $400 twice a year to assist deserving new or revitalized Friends of Libraries groups. Her many friends will miss her greatly, but her love of libraries lives on with the *“Harriet Larson Founders Grant”* from the Friends of Michigan Libraries. Congratulations to *The Friends of the Munising Public Library*! with regards, Paul Snyder FOML President -- 30 -- -- Linda Pierce Administrative Specialist Kettering Library Phone: (810) 762-9840 Fax: (810) 762-9744 1700 University Avenue ~ Flint, MI 48504 Kettering University
