On January 26, 1837, Michigan became the 26th state to join the United States of America. It was admitted as a free state by Andrew Jackson, who also oversaw the addition of the slave state of Arkansas the year prior. While lower Michigan and the eastern portion of the Upper Peninsula had been a territory since 1805, when determining state lines the area west of Munising was included as part of a deal to relinquish a strip of land in the south to Ohio.

Munising School Public Library is updating their Strategic Plan and will need your input on what you think! It is a quick ten (10) question survey made possible in part by the University of Michigan School of Information, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services’ Library Services and Technology Act. We also have print copies of the survey available at the Munising Library. The survey runs through April 15. #helplibrariesgrow #umsi #universityofmichigan BookFlix from Scholastic offers digital online access for early readers to build their skills with fun, easy to read animated stories that have companion fiction and nonfiction.
