<p>Natalie Nowak of Bayliss Public Library asked for a poster format
so I'm sending it out to everyone. There's a JPG for social media
and a PDF in case you have a bulletin board. If this works out,
I'll attach them to future announcements going forward<br>
</p>
<p>I hope this is within the scope of the Michlib listserve
guidelines</p>
