How Do I?

Library Van

FRAN: Fueling Reading Across Neighborhoods

The library’s outreach van, affectionately known as Fran, transports library materials to community events and partners across West Bloomfield, Keego Harbor, Sylvan Lake, and Orchard Lake.

If you see Fran the Library Van out in the wild, be sure to stop by and say hi!

Funded by a generous bequest by Ruth and Stanley Elbling and supported by an additional donation from Gary Davis in memory of Sally Davis.
