Summary

State-aid cuts forced Northland Library Cooperative to sell its building and end its Books for the Blind exchange. Beaver Island Library consequently lost interlibrary loans but retained its large-print collection and continued to offer books, recorded books, public computers, wireless internet, videos, and music CDs.

Evidence limits

The article reports the service change at the time; it does not establish later funding, restoration of loans, or the cooperative’s complete financial record.
