Peter White Public Library has been chosen to be a member of the Michigan Digitization Hub network! Earlier this week, our staff oversaw the installation of new digitization equipment in the Memory Lab.

Through a partnership with the Library of Michigan and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, i2S Copibook OS A2 overhead book scanners are generously being provided to eight public libraries around the State of Michigan, as part of the "Digitization Hub" initiative.

This partnership is designed to expand access to high-quality digitization services, preserve Michigan’s cultural memory, and build sustainable capacity within local communities by establishing regional service hubs that provide equipment, training, and technical assistance to libraries, historical societies, museums, archives, and community organizations throughout Michigan.

Once set up is complete and our staff have been trained, we look forward to opening up opportunities for the community to use our new technology! More information to come!
