<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Hello. During the height of the pandemic, many Secretary of State customers turned to libraries for access to our online SOS services which at times became overwhelming. To help ease the burden on libraries,
we have deployed more self-service stations across the state, including several in rural areas with plans to add even more. We are already up to 157 statewide, including 114 in grocery stores. To help alert the public about the availability of SOS self-service
stations, we’re hoping libraries will consider sharing the following message and attached image on social media and via any other communication channel available to the public (newsletter, website, etc.). Much thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>More Secretary of State self-service stations</b> <b>deployed across Michigan<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Secretary of State now offers more self-service stations than ever before, including 114 at grocery stores and other locations, and 43 inside SOS branch offices. The newest locations are in Alpena, Coldwater, Houghton, Petoskey, Sault
Ste. Marie and South Haven. Find a self-service station near you at <a href="http://www.michigan.gov/SOS">
