<font size="2"><font size="2">Dear Michigan Library Friends:
<br />
<br />I sent the following message out mid-April. I received 18 responses. In
sharing
the
<br />information with our City Manager, he asked that I try to get more
responses
from
<br />those of you who are City Libraries. We are established under PA 164 of 1877.
<br />
<br />Feel free to answer if you are not a city library.

<br />
Our community is moving ahead on our new library building plans. We are a
city
<br />
library. We would like to survey several MI libraries to find out the
following:
<br />
<br />
1. Type of Library you represent –<b> especially interested in PA 164 of
1877</b>
<br />
2. Population
served
<br />
3. Who owns your library building and property
<br />
3. What arrangement do you have with your municipality regarding your
<br />
building, its operations and maintenance? Is there anything you
would
<br /> change about your present agreement if you
could?
<br />
4. How are you funded?
<br />
5. Who would you suggest we approach for donations for construction?
<br />
<br />
Partial replies are acceptable - we don't live in a perfect world and you are
<br />
all busy!
<br />
<br />
Thank you for considering our request.
<br />
<br />
