Ghost Hunters and more
\nRepresentatives from the SouthEast Michigan Ghost Hunters Society will be visiting Briggs Public Library. The SEMGHS has been investigating paranormal activity across the country for 16 years. Their investigations have been featured on the Discovery Channel’s “A Haunting,” and now you can see the results of those investigations in person.
\nJoin us for this free family program Thursday, June 7th from 6-8pm. Registration opens on May 17th for all patrons with a valid library card.

\nDo you have an eReader? Come to our class and learn how to borrow free eBooks from the library. This class covers all the basics — setup, downloading, and which devices support library eBooks. We’ll demonstrate the checkout, download and transfer process through Overdrive and answer all your eReader questions. You’re welcome to bring your device, though it is not required.
\nTwo class times available on Tuesday, June 5 from 10:00-11:00 a.m or 7:00-8:00 p.m. Required registration begins on May 15 and you must have a valid Library card to sign up.
\nPark and Read Program<\/strong>
\nThe DNR and the Library of Michigan are offering the Park and Read Program again this summer. The Program allows Briggs Public Library resident cardholders to check-out a free one day vehicle permit for use at any Michigan state park or recreation area. This is a $6 savings.
\nThe PASS is valid for one use within seven days of check out and is for day use only, 8 am to 10pm. The Pass cannot be used for overnight camping or for access to boating access sites or ranges. Stop by the circulation desk for more information or to check out a PASS. Take time this summer to enjoy a good book in Michigan’s great outdoors.
\nLibrary Closures<\/strong>
\nThe Library will be Saturday May 26th and Monday May 28th in observance of the Memorial Day Holiday. The drop box on the Library porch will be available for returns throughout this closure.<\/p>\n
