Message of Thanks from Director Mary Ann Lenon

The new library has been made possible through the vision and involvement of so many people within our community.  We are grateful for the voters of Morton Township who approved millage to construct the building and to those who gave of their time, talent and treasure for the Capital Campaign and beyond.  We also recognize and thank the Morton Township Board and staff, the Village of Mecosta Board and Zoning Department, Morton Township Library Expansion Committee (MTLEC), the Friends of Morton Township Library, the Builidng Design Committee, USDA Rural Development, local businesses and organizations, the children and staff of Mecosta Elementary, and the many volunteers who helped with the move.  As director of the library, I also extend sincere gratitude to the library board and staff who have given of their gifts and volunteer time to make this project come to fruition.  A special thank you to David Moore (library builder and township resident) and Gerald Dummer (township resident) for their expertise in building projects and the strong support they have given me throughout the project.  Hats off to all of you!  Community involvement and support has made our new library facility "the place to be."
