How Can LTPL Support You?
Are you a part of a community organization, business, or group?

The Library is here to help! If you are part of a community organization, business, or group, LTPL wants to meet you where you are. In the past, LTPL has participated in community events like Kite Festival, Lighting Up the Grand, South Lyon Pride Picnic, SLARA Dances, and Abbey Park's Festival of Trees. For these events we provided library swag, reading lists, informational materials, craft activities and more. Beyond this, we have visited community organizations and businesses--such Abbey Park at Mill River--with prepared, informative presentations on library collections and resources that might particularly benefit your organization, its goals, objectives, and vision.
 
If you are part of a community organization or business--such as the Rotary, Kiwanis, or Civitan Clubs, the Kensington Valley Chamber of Commerce, South Lyon Community Schools, South Lyon Area Recreation Authority, a local homeowners association, the Downtown Development Authority, a senior living center, etc.--and are having an event, meeting, or other gathering that you would like the library to attend, prepare a craft or other materials for, or present about library resources, let us know. We LOVE to work with community members and organizations, and it would be our pleasure to support your needs! Contact us today to see how a partnership with LTPL might benefit your organization and provide more for our community than you ever thought possible!
