The Star Newsletter
August 2015
It's the month of August but it isn't too late to make fun summertime plans in Michigan.
Thanks to our library volunteer, Susan Kiel—a self-proclaimed Michigan fan—^we now offer
free Michigan maps, vacation brochures, leaflets, and flyers. Sue acquired these up-to-date
resources for the Lois Wagner Memorial Library. Why? Because she loves the State of
Michigan, her community of Richmond...and happily, our library! ¥
Sue also donated Michigan activity sheets, posters, and factual literature for our young
library patrons. These items are available in the Juvenile Section. In addition, she generously
provided us with gift subscriptions for two Michigan periodicals
entitled: "Michigan History" and "The Great Lakes Pilot."
Thanks, Sue! <^
You can also discover Michigan by using your Library Card. Check
out a free Activity Pass for one of Michigan's cultural attractions, state
parks, and recreation areas. For more information, and to see a list of
participants access our library's website and click on the hot air
balloon icon. It's August in Michigan! Have fun enjoying summer
sights, sounds, and activities in our great State!
