Mason County District Library
Recently made some changes to the article. Look it over for any corrections or improvements that can be made. Thanks for your help - do appreciate it. --Doug Coldwell talk 16:36, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

As you may have noticed I have continued to edit the article today to make additional improvements - especially pertaining to the fact that the Mason County District Library comprises two independent branches. I am working on a possible "hook" for the Did You Know section of the Main page of Wikipedia. I am thinking of something along the lines of Did You Know ... that the Mason County District Library has no building but contains over 100,000 volumes? This would be true since it is an "administration" of two independent libraries and not actually a library itself. However, I need a reference (i.e. newspaper article or formal documentation obtainable by the public) that would say this from a third party. I can then make this a reference in the article that anyone could look up and see that it is actually true. The 100,000 volumes can be verified by the web pages I already have in the article (Ludington of 65,000 + Scottville of 35,000), however need a reference or newspaper article that says the "Mason County District Library" is only an administration (formed in 1994) and not actually a building. A "Did You Know" fact has to have a reference before it is accepted. If it is accepted by the Wikipedia Administrators then this fact appears on the Main Page for about a day and the article gets a lot of lookers because of the exposure. I will be in tomorrow to look up a possible article that I imagine does exist for sometime in March of 1906 pertaining to when the Ludington Public Library opened. At the time I believe it was called the Ludington Carnegie Library. If the article says this, then I could use another alternate hook something like Did You Know ...that the Ludington Public Library was first called the Ludington Carnegie Library since the city's library construction was financed by Andrew Carnegie? This would be true since the finance constructuion cost of $15,000 came from him. I'll look it up on the microfilm to see. --Doug Coldwell talk 19:09, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Decided to break this down into two different artices - Ludington Public Library and Mason County District Library. --Doug Coldwell talk 20:03, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
