New Library Architect
 The New Library Project Architect
 
 At the Library Board Meeting on February 28th, the Library Board of trustees selected Quinn Evans as the architect for the new library project! They also approved the Township engineer's proposal for civil engineering for site improvements on 11 mile and Milford Road.
 
There will be more updates to come as this process unfolds, so make sure to keep an eye on our website for any news.
 
 

Why is National Reading Month Important?
 
Reading is a great habit to develop! It strengthens your mental muscles, improves comprehension and analytical skills, boosts memory, and increases imagination! You can check out LTPL's digital library with 24/7 access to resources such a Hoopla, Libby, AudioBookCloud, TumbleBooks, and more, and of course, we would love to have you come into the library. All you need is your LTPL card. If you need a library card, you can register for one here, or ask our clerks for help when you come into the library. Happy reading!
