Ann Arbor District Library
The existence of the Ann Arbor District Library assures public ownership of print collections, digital resources, and gathering spaces for the citizens of the library district. We are committed to sustaining the value of public library services for the greater Ann Arbor community through the use of traditional and innovative technologies.
The Ann Arbor District Library system is composed of the Downtown Library and four branch libraries (Malletts Creek, Traverwood, West, Pittsfield).
The New York Times reports that the social safety net for the nation’s poorest is fraying. The article quotes UM economist Sheldon Danziger, who says that a mid-1990s overhaul of the welfare system which aimed to push single mothers into the workforce “makes sense when unemployment is 5 percent.But if you are out of work, the welfare system in a time of recession doesn’t have anything to offer.” [Source]
Want to know who to thank for getting July declared as Michigan Craft Beer Month? That would be state Rep. Rebekah Warren, D-Ann Arbor, the primary sponsor of House Resolution 117.

In an article about a proposed Main Street business improvement zone (BIZ), we incorrectly listed the corporate affiliation of Rob Spears, a member of the BIZ initiative’s transitional board. He is with Cabrio Properties. Additionally, Keith Orr is a tentative board member, but is not currently on the board. We also clarified that a portion of Liberty Street on either side of Main is included in the proposed BIZ district. We note the errors here, and have corrected the original article.
