Voter-approved since 1998.

we’ve got an even bigger future planned!

That is why we’re kicking off a year-long celebration of important dates in library history. We’re going to host events, contests and displays through August 2009 to celebrate everything the library has to offer.

Retired Trustee Honored as Trustee Emeritus

Donald Green, former trustee, capped off his twelve year tenure on the Library Board by being honored with the American Library Association (ALA) Trustee Citation and being named Trustee Emeritus by the Library Board.
“We want to make this a celebration for the public,” said Library Director Larry Neal. “We’re going to celebrate our past and look to the future as well. We’ve made great strides in a very short period of time.”
Green was appointed to the Library Board in 1996 and stepped down this past April. Highlights of Green’s tenure on the Library Board of Trustees include his work on behalf of the library in passing a millage, expanding the library to three locations, hiring a professional library staff, negotiating the gift of land on which the Main Library sits and leading the Strategic Plan Committee to chart the library’s future for the next four years.
In 1992 the Clinton-Macomb Public Library was known as the ClintonChippewa District Library and was housed in Erie Elementary School. In 1997, Macomb Township joined the library district when Chippewa Valley ended its affiliation with the library and CMPL was born. It was at that time that the Board of Trustees decided to go to the voters and ask for a millage to start the library that we know today.
This award goes hand-in hand with Green’s recent appointment as Trustee Emeritus of the Clinton-Macomb Public Library. While Green will not be a voting member of the Library Board, the title has been bestowed on him as recognition of his numerous achievements on behalf of the library. Please join us on Tuesday, September 16 from 5-6 p.m. at the Main Library to celebrate Green’s ALA Trustee Citation and appointment as Trustee Emeritus.

As we celebrate the many milestones in the library’s history over the past 10 years one of the most important has been the evolution of the Friends of the Clinton-Macomb Public Library. This nonprofit organization is comprised of a core group of volunteers and a wider group of members who support the library through a great deal of hard work and dedication.

The Friends become most visible during their annual fall and spring book sales. This fall's sale, to be held October 2-5 (October 1 is the member’s only night), is bound to be another huge success. The Friends raise around $25,000 per sale. These funds are returned to the library in the form of grants for programs, materials and services. For example, in June the Friends pledged over $31,000 to support every single library program for the next year, whether it be a concert, summer reading kickoff entertainer or a bookmark contest. Earlier this year they funded a professional CD/DVD/video game repair machine for $7,000. This device allows the library to salvage damaged items and return them to the collection, saving the library hundreds of dollars per month. The machine also allows us to extend this service to shoppers in the Library Store for the repair of personal items for a small fee. Store volunteers provide the labor to the library free of charge.

Hours of Service

Monday-Thursday Friday-Saturday Sunday*
9 a.m. - 9 p.m. 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. 1 p.m. - 6 p.m.
While there seems to be renewed interest in environmental issues and “going green” Friends groups around the country have understood this concept for decades. When books and other items in good condition are donated to the library they are reviewed, sorted, stored and then put out for sale by the thousands. Used books are available for pennies on the dollar as compared to new books, providing a great savings for the buyer and a source of fundraising dollars for the Friends. Our Friends have the process down to a science. Aside from the books initially discarded because of mold and poor condition (we are working on recycling these, too) there wasn’t a single book put in a landfill last spring! Unsold books are now donated to local veterans groups and prisons, which appreciate the materials.

We have a great group of Friends but we need more help to keep up with the growth of these sales. We need a good variety of volunteers including, but not limited to: someone to process donations on a regular basis at the South Branch; someone or a group that can transport books once a month between buildings; and sale day stockers, baggers and bouncers. I hope you will consider becoming a Friends volunteer. It is an excellent way to help support your library and give back to the community. See page 11 for specific dates and times that volunteers are needed. For further information please call 226-5005 or e-mail [email protected]. Better yet, help us get even more Friends by inviting a friend or two of your own along.
Sharon P. Zielinski, Trustee Larry P. Neal, Library Director

Reminder

The library appreciates all the donations to the used book sale. Please do not put donations on the conveyor belt at the Main Library or in the returns bin outside the library. Please drop off donations on the loading dock in the back of the building. We will give you a receipt for your donation. Thank you.

Mr. Richard Kloeckner, a customer at the Main Library, invited CMPL to participate in the German American Networking Fair. Fifteen German, Austrian and Swiss clubs, as well as various businesses and organizations filled the Cultural Center and had a wonderful time. Our foreign language librarian, Marilena Gahman, brought a sampling of our German language collection and ESL materials.

Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2013 APPROVED: Harry Benshoff, Committee Chair George Larke-Walsh, Committee Member Sandra Spencer, Committee Member Albert Albarran, Chair of the Department of Radio, Television and Film Art Goven, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Stone, Lelia M. A Textual Analysis of The Closer and Saving Grace: Feminist and Genre Theory in 21st Century Television. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), December 2013, 89 pp., references 82 titles. Television is a universally popular medium that offers a myriad of choices to viewers around the world. American programs both reflect and influence the culture of the times. Two dramatic series, The Closer and Saving Grace, were presented on the same cable network and shared genre and design. Both featured female police detectives and demonstrated an acute awareness of postmodern feminism. The Closer was very successful, yet Saving Grace, was cancelled midway through the third season. A close study of plot lines and character development in the shows will elucidate their fundamental differences that serve to explain their widely disparate reception by the viewing public.

    February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers in Bessemer

    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.
