Capital Area District Library We had a wild time at our libraries over the past few weeks when favorite storybook characters dropped in on our storytimes. Our very own Wild Thing kicked off the rumpus, joined by The Very Hungry Caterpillar and a couple of pups named Biscuit and Martha. See all the fun in our Flickr album, and stayed tuned for news about upcoming family fun events!

Dianna Stampfler from Promote Michigan is back with an exciting new history program about Michigan's ghost towns. Originally centered in logging, farming and mining areas, hundreds of Michigan towns faded into history when the natural resources were depleted. Only a handful remain standing, silent and abandoned, as a r...eminder of what once was. Visit the ghost towns of the Great Lakes State in this fascinating tour of our history.
