<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are starting to populate the Library of Michigan’s Michigan Notable Books (MNB) page with downloadable graphics/resources that libraries can use for promoting the 2022 Michigan Notable Books list. You can find this content by either
going to <a href="http://www.Michigan.gov/NotableBooks">www.Michigan.gov/NotableBooks</a> and going to the “Information for Libraries” section, or by going directly to
<a href="https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-88854_90002-520507--,00.html">
https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-88854_90002-520507--,00.html</a>. There you will find graphics that you can use on your library’s social media accounts as well as PDFs of signage you can print off to display at your library. We will
continue to add more content to this page over the next few weeks. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you to everyone who shared the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/libraryofmichigan/posts/10158264133431771">
announcement post</a> of the 2022 MNB list. I think we set a new record for a Library of Michigan Facebook post (its currently at 38,361 People Reached, 119 Likes and 193 Shares) and much of that is due to the help of Michigan Libraries. Starting next week,
we will be featuring posts on each individual 2022 MNB title on the Library of Michigan’s social media accounts. We encourage everyone to share them on your library’s social media pages. If you have already purchased any of the 2022 MNB titles, be sure to
include a link to your catalog record of the individual title so that your patrons can find it on your library’s catalog. Its also a good opportunity to highlight a title if its available in your eBook collections. Here are the Library of Michigan social media

<p class="MsoNormal">I know a few libraries have inquired about the Author Tour application. We are still finalizing the list of what 2022 MNB Authors are available to participate in the tour this year (a few of them currently live outside of Michigan). Once
that is solidified, I will put a link to the application on the Michigan Notable Books page as well as send the link out on Michlib.
