The Friends of the Dexter District Library applaud all our volunteers for their efforts in support of the Library. We have two different programs recognizing Friends’ efforts.
We celebrate our Friends through a Recognition Program that acknowledges those who have donated their time through levels of volunteer hours. Friends contributing 50 hours receive bronze pins, at 100 hours volunteers receive silver pins and at the 250 hour level, volunteers receive gold pins, noting their service. Recipients are sent a commendation letter from the President of the Friends with their pins. Since the inception of the program, individual Friends achievements are highlighted below.
Yearly we also vote for and announce the “Volunteer of the Year.” This individual has made significant contributions of time and effort as a Friend of the Library. The Volunteer of the Year’s name is added to a plaque that hangs in the Friends’ room at the Library.
Without our many volunteers, we could not support the Dexter Library as we do. Thank you to one and all.

Volunteer of the Year Award
Each year, the members of the Friends of the Library Board nominate individual volunteers for a special tribute. The volunteer of the year has made significant contributions of time and effort as a Friend of the Library. Voting by the Board takes place at the annual meeting in December, to which all Friends are invited. All volunteers are eligible for nomination. The Volunteer of the Year’s name is added to a plaque that hangs in the Friends’ room at the Library. Without our many volunteers, we could not support the Dexter Library as we do.

While many libraries are temporarily closed due the current public health crisis, it’s a great time to explore the many digital resources they provide. Most libraries offer access to audiobooks, e-books, music and movies. Some are even finding ways to offer programs online, such as virtual storytimes, book clubs, and crafting sessions.

Celebrate National Library Week 2020 by sharing what you love about the virtual services available at your library. Post to Instagram, Twitter, or on the I Love Libraries Facebook page, about an e-book, audiobook, virtual storytime or bookclub, or how your library has made a difference while you’ve been social distancing at home. Use the hashtag #ThankYouLibraries and tag your library. We’ll gather all the entries, and one randomly selected winner will receive a $100 Visa gift card. The promotion starts Sunday, April 19 at noon CT and ends on Saturday, April 25 at noon CT. Official rules coming soon.
If you love your library, say it loud and proud: vocal community support helps libraries secure much-needed funding and reminds hardworking library staff that their efforts are appreciated. Participating in #ThankYouLibraries is a quick, easy way to help your library thrive!
Be sure to follow your library on social media so you don’t miss out on all they have to offer, including the most reliable information about keeping your family safe during the uncertain times.
Follow the American Library Association and I Love Libraries on social media and join us on social media by using the hashtags #NationalLibraryWeek and #LibrariesTransform.
Show your support for libraries by adding our National Library Week frame to your Facebook profile picture.
Go to your profile on the Facebook app and tap “Edit” on your profile picture, then tap “Add Frame.”
If you don’t see it in the list search for “National Library Week.”

Detroit legend Al Kaline, known to many as ‘Mr. Tiger’ in honor of his 22-year playing career and 67-year affiliation with the Detroit Tigers, passed away on Monday, April 6, 2020 at the age of 85.
Check out these books to learn more about Al Kaline’s life and legacy:
Joy In Tigertown: A Determined Team, a Resilient City, and our Magical Run to the 1968 World Series by Mickey Lolich with Tom Gage
Told with the vibrant first-hand perspective of Lolich himself and the expertise of award-winning Detroit journalist Tom Gage, this is the remarkable saga of that 1968 season which culminated in Tigers glory. Incorporating new reflections from players and personnel, Joy in Tigertown traces such achievements as Denny McClain’s 31-win season as well as the remarkable slugging performances of Al Kaline, Norm Cash, Willie Horton, and Bill Freehan.
