In addition to having some of the best selection of any library in our area, this summer they seem to have brought in programs that surprise and delight its patrons.
For example, one day I was walking back to my car and stumbled across this gorgeous chalk rendering of my favorite painting of all time: Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh
Then today, this lovely string duo was playing outside the entrance.
What do you love about your library?
Speaking of awesome libraries, another awesome Michigan library, the Troy Public Library came close to closing last year because they needed to raise taxes to keep its doors open. Check out the ingenious way they rallied to keep it a viable part of the community.
ETA: Apparently the Troy library had nothing to do with the campaign shown in the video. Rather than pretend I never posted it, I'll let you watch the video and then read the comment by my first poster to let you draw your own conclusions.
