            CELEBRATING COMMERCE TOWNSHIP COMMUNITY LIBRARY

                                 ______

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 2017

  Mr. TROTT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the opening of the 
new Commerce Township Community Library.
  Since 2005, the Commerce Township Community Library has served the 
residents of Commerce Township and Wolverine Lake by providing a wealth 
of knowledge for those of every generation.
  This year, they moved to a new location, one more centrally located 
within our community, representing the vital role they play as an 
educational epicenter for residents.
  Commerce Township Community Library's new location now offers a 
children's reading room, allowing our community's youngest minds to 
foster their creativity and imagination in a space created just for 
them.
  The over 10,000 additional square feet offered by their new facility 
allows staff to continue to curate and grow their collection while 
preserving the vast knowledge already housed on their shelves.
  In an age of ever-changing technology, the dedicated staff who serve 
at Commerce Township Community Library have ensured they continue to 
evolve in a 21st century world, offering eBooks, eAudiobooks, and 
eMagazines, along with free technology classes.
  As a place of learning and discovery, I applaud the Commerce Township 
Community Library for the vital role they play in fostering the 
continued learning and intellectual growth of our entire community. I 
look forward to witnessing all of the great work they continue to do as 
they serve our community from their new facility.
