<p class="MsoNormal">The Library of Michigan has updated and expanded our <i>Public Library Financial Management Guide</i>. The new guide is posted at
<a href="http://www.michigan.gov/librarymanuals">www.michigan.gov/librarymanuals</a>. Please take a look and share with financial or budgeting staff at your library. The Library of Michigan will also be updating the
<i>Michigan Public Library Trustee Manual</i> and posting the new version of that in a few months. Finally, we will be mailing hard copies of both manuals to public libraries throughout the state when both are complete. Keep an eye on your mailbox in the new
year for these resources!<o:p></o:p></p>
