[Michlib-l] New FOIA - Public Library of Cedar Springs submitted on 03/16/2017

[MOL Karen McKinnon]

Yes, it rankles me for them to ask for names.  They can get the data from the information that is compiled from the State Aid reports, if they want to know what librarians earn.  I denied the request, as we do not compile that report.

Karen McKinnon, Director 
Leighton Township Library 
Box H 4451 12th Street
