Happy National Library Week, Clawson!

Why do you love the Blair Memorial Library, Clawson - is it the wealth of youth and adult programs or its array of media operations? Perhaps it's the terrific staff or its group of supporters that makes the library special for you.

Blair Memorial Library will welcome Clawson residents this week with a sale on books as part of National Library Week, running through Saturday.

"Libraries are the heart of our communities," said Mayor Penny Luebs, a Local Voices blogger on Clawson Patch. "Libraries and librarians provide resources and programs to meet community needs, provide resume writing classes, homework help, technology training and more. Visit the Blair Memorial Library today."

In May 2011, Clawson voters passed a millage increase of 0.3 mills to benefit the library on top of the current 1.0 mill.

The Blair Memorial Library is located at 416 N. Main St., Clawson. For more information, visit their website or give them a call at (248) 588-5500.
