Join us for our annual summer reading program! The theme this year is "Be Creative @ Your Library" for children.  Keep track of your reading time on our reading log and receive great prizes at the final party.  Teens can register for the "Express Yourself @ Your Library" program which will include such events as movies, bead writing, and game night. There are great prizes, including a chance to win a new laptop for those that complete the teen reading log. We also have an adult program called "Book Bingo" and more fantastic prizes! Registration for all events and reading logs are available online and in person at the library. All reading logs must be completed by August 3, 2009 to qualify for prizes.

To register online go to http://ssldl.info/srp.  Or contact Miss Jennifer with any questions.

Library patrons may now access the Salem-South Lyon Digital Archives at home.  The digital archives provides a powerful and user friendly database to help you dig deep into South Lyon's past. We have all of the issues of the South Lyon Herald from 1929 to 2007 -- digitized and fully searchable to help you find the information you need.  A special thanks to the South Lyon Herald for allowing us to make this collection available online.

Would you like to leave a lasting legacy for yourself, your family or someone special?  The Salem-South Lyon District Library is offering the opportunity to do that with Phase II of our Lasting Legacy Brick Campaign. You may request to have your brick placed in one of 2 library paths; the entrance path for personal or business dedications or military service path dedicated to those that have served or are currently serving our country.  4” x 8” bricks cost $100 and 8” x 8” bricks are $250.  To download an order form click here.

Everyone is looking for ways to save money. SEMCOG, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, has a great idea that can save commuters nearly $3,000 a year. Carpool to work... and find a carpool partner through MiRideshare!

It’s easy to get started. Go to http://www.semcog.org/MiRideshare.aspx. There, you’ll also find a get started video. Please call us with questions at 866-510-POOL.

Students, volunteers, employees – any commuter over age 18 with a regular schedule whose work/school location falls within Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties – can use this service. You can carpool all the time, or just a few days a week. Carpooling is as flexible as you need it to be since you work out the details of your commute with potential partners.

The library is pleased to announce the “Keep in Touch” program that allows you to make a free call to a friend or family member located in one of 36 different countries from the library!  Call the library to reserve a time today!
