No mention of libraries in Gretchen Whitmer's "Let's Make Every Kid a Strong Reader
I was surprised and disappointed that this email that I received this morning from the Governor said nothing about the role libraries, especially school libraries, play in making "every kid a strong reader." The survey that this announcement asks people to take also doesn't include libraries. I'm responding and adding a comment about their importance. I hope many others, especially parents with young children, do the same. https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MIEOG/bulletins/3f92dd9 Bob Robert P.

Thank you for sharing this, Bob! You're absolutely right and I plan to give my feedback and I thank you for giving yours.
