| JoAnne Purtan, WXYZ Channel 7's Action News reporter, talks about the first annual Community Read, Annie's Ghosts by Steve Luxenberg. This fall, five area libraries (Wixom, Novi, Northville, Salem-South Lyon and Lyon Township) encourage our readers to check out a copy of the highly acclaimed Annie’s Ghosts by Steve Luxenberg. Read it, share it, discuss it, and spread the word about our great line-up of related events, including book discussions and a visit by the author!

Our First Annual Community Read!
NEW! Suspend Holds
You can now temporarily suspend your holds in eLibrary if you are going to be on vacation or otherwise unable to make use of the items on which you have placed holds. It can also help schedule holds on a series of books that you want to get lined up to come in for you in the right order. When you suspend a hold it is suspended until a specific date (of your choosing), then it becomes active again. While your holds are suspended they will continue to move to the top of the line, but they will not be filled until you activate them again or until the "Suspend until" date is reached.

Help Your Library: Adopt an Author
Due to declining property tax values and reductions in state aid, the Library’s budget is shrinking. Despite this, the Library is busier than ever. We will do our best to remain the best educational and entertainment value in town.
