What We <3 About Libraries
When I was at the grocery store the other day, I overheard a couple of grandparents having a conversation:
Grandpa: What are we going to do with the kids all week?

Grandma: Don’t worry – I already ran by the l...

NEWSFLASH: You Won’t Have a Library Anymore
If you regularly follow our blog, you must know by now how valuable libraries are to their communities. You also understand that the Capital Area District Library has a question on the August 3 ballot asking people in the CADL service area (the vast majority of Ingham County) to renew their existing millage.

Ok, back to my point. If this election fails – if the CADL millage does not pass – ALL OF THEIR LIBRARIES WILL REALLY CLOSE.
*Take a look at the Library Use Value Calculator to see just how much you’re paying and how much you’re saving using the library.
