You may have noticed the sign out in front of the library showing how much money has been raised for the Barrier Free Library Project. We would like to thank Larry and Rick Lower at Bottom Dollar Surplus, Miller Hardware, Al Sonsinski, Joni Siler and Duane and Gayle Clover for all their donations and time put into this project. It is very much appreciated.

A balloon sent by Andrew Bates was found in Auburn Hills, Leo Lehman's was found in Rochester Hills, Sue Pyles' was found in Port Huron, Jill Pyles' was found in Napoleon and Courtney Leister's was found in Chelsea.
