The Oakland County Library Board and the Oakland County Library Foundation will host a ceremony to dedicate the three county libraries (the Adams Pratt Law Library, the Library for the Visually and Physically Impaired and the Research Library) in their new shared facility at the Oakland County Courthouse on Tuesday, April 12, at 3:30 p.m.
The three county libraries were previously housed in three separate areas in the county courthouse. In 2010, the libraries consolidated and moved into one location.
The ceremony will also feature the unveiling of The Steven N. Andrews Constitutional Law Collection. Retired Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Steven N. Andrews served on the Oakland County Library Board from 1986 to 2010. He was the board's chair from 2001-2010. Upon his retirement from the bench, money was donated to the Oakland County Library Foundation to establish a constitutional law collection in his honor.
The late Oakland County Commissioner Jeff Potter (R-South Lyon) also served on the county library board for three years. He passed away in June 2010 from heart failure. The Oakland County Library Board and the Oakland County Library Foundation passed a memorial resolution in his honor which will be presented to his family at the event. Copies will also be given to the Board of Commissioners and the Salem-South Lyon District Library.
A hors d'oeurves reception will follow the program which will be provided courtesy of the Oakland County Library Foundation.
The Oakland County Libraries are located at 1200 North Telegraph Road in Building 14 East, which is on the second floor of the West Wing Extension, which is located in the five-story glass building attached to the main courthouse building.
