Would you like to leave a lasting legacy for yourself, your family, or someone special? The Salem-South Lyon District Library is offering you an opportunity to do that by participating in our Lasting Legacy Brick Campaign. Bricks will be laid in 2009 upon completion of the library expansion.

As our expansion comes toward its completion, the library will need to close for a few weeks to do some internal re-organization.  The library will be closed from January 1-18, 2009 to finish this last stage of the project.  We will re-open on Monday, January 19 at 9:00 AM. All due dates will be extended so that no materials will be due back until we re-open. 

Do you order online at Amazon.com?  The library receives a commission from sales made at Amazon.com through our Amazon Associates link (which is also located in the right frame of our home page).  Prices are not affected for the buyer, and the link simply takes you to the Amazon.com homepage.  Amazon has everything from books, music, and movies to portable electronics, magazine subscriptions, and MORE! 

Thanks to those that have already been using Amazon Associates and helped us raise over $650!

The database offers a unique blend of one-to-one homework help, state-aligned skills building, and a full-services writing lab.  Students are now able to access homework help online seven days a week from 2:00-10:00pm. 

Trained tutors will interact with students via a chat feature to best understand their homework question.  Students may also upload a writing assignment, and a tutor will offer suggestions within 24 hours.

Salem-South Lyon District Library is now a drop-off location for recycled paper. Everyone is welcome to put used newspapers, magazines and office papers into the Green and Yellow Paper Retriever bin outside the library. In addition to being eco-friendly you'll help the library earn money for paper dropped off.
