The library is once again promoting the ReLeaf Michigan’s Big Tree Hunt Contest. The contest is for all age groups to help track our state’s historical living landmarks and get people outside and looking up at the trees! The contest will accept submissions until the deadline of August 22, 2025. Stop by sometime to pick up an informational pamphlet/entry form. You can find more information at www.ReLeafMichigan.org.

PLEASE NOTE: Munising School Public Library will be closed on Saturday, May 25 and Monday, May 27 in recognition of Memorial Day. Alger Reads Book Club’s final spring meeting will take place on Tuesday, May 28 at 6 p.m.

I’m sure we all know someone who is always barefoot and only puts shoes on when they absolutely have to. But did you know that walking around barefoot can actually be better for you than wearing shoes? Just as our bodies are influenced by frequencies from the sun, the earth that we walk on each day also provides unique energy and frequencies that can directly impact our bodies.

What is a Baccalaureate Service? A baccalaureate service is a ceremony to honor a graduating class within a couple of weeks before commencement. The baccalaureate is intended to provide a more intimate time of reflection for the graduating class and their families before the larger, more formal graduation ceremony. This time of reflection often includes music, a local speaker, and a small gift (like a book) for the graduates. The speaker at the baccalaureate honors the graduates and their families and encourages them to find spiritual meaning in the transition from high school into college or a career. The baccalaureate service also supplies an opportunity for the community to support the graduate and celebrate both his or her intellectual and spiritual development.

Munising Middle School students were offered incentives and fun if their score improved a significant amount. April is the typical testing time for grades K-11, and April can be very draining due to the hours and hours of state required testing.
