News from the Friends of the Saline Library and Corner Book Shop.
In the Spotlight on the lobby cart we have books about antiques & collectibles, transportation, and birds. These will be on the cart through Friday, Oct. 27.
In addition to general refreshing throughout the book shop:
The Corner Book Shop at Saline District Library accepts donations in the shop when the shop is open. Bring your very gently used books, DVDs, puzzles, games, music and audio books on CD to the book shop's desk and a cashier will direct you. A good rule of thumb is that any donated item should be in a condition you would gladly give to a dear friend.
Please limit donations to one box or two grocery bags per day as our work and storage spaces are limited. Please tape puzzle and game boxes shut.
Because there is no market for them, we cannot accept VHS, cassette tapes, magazines, encyclopedias, textbooks more than 10 years old, or books with handwritten notes and highlighting.
If you wish to double-check that the shop is open before you come, call us at 944-0625. Our scheduled open hours are:
Light rain shower, with a high of 71 and low of 64 degrees. Light rain shower for the morning, patchy rain nearby for the afternoon, cloudy in the evening, light rain shower overnight.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
