As Library Director of the Dearborn Public Library, Betty’s life-long love of and commitment to libraries and the services they can provide is invaluable to our community. I was happy to hear the governor’s continued dedication to getting students back on track — and a huge part of getting kids on track for literacy learning and student growth is uplifting our local libraries.
