The
Wayne County Library serves
more than 400,000 persons in 23 municipalities through 13 public
libraries. The County hires and oversees 75 employees at the
municipal libraries, and is reimbursed by each community.
A computer network, funded by the
participating municipalities, connects the libraries with about
50 other public libraries throughout Wayne, Oakland, Washtenaw
and Livingston counties. A combined database of more than three
million books is maintained on the system. The network also
allows access to databases through the Internet.
Through the Regional
Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped in the
City of Westland, Michigan, residents of Wayne County who
are unable to read conventional print because of physical
limitations have access to free library service. Hundreds
of books on tape are mailed from the library each day at
no expense to persons who qualify. In addition, the library
makes available about 60 recorded magazines. There is even
a studio for recording custom-order books. ::
