Catalog Transition Update
On June 30, 2022 the Library of Michigan commenced the initial data transfer of records from its old catalog system to the new software. At this point there is still work being done with transferring records that will continue over the weekend before the new system is live. A few things to note as we continue this transition over the next few days:
- Library staff are still unable to process online library card applications. Please hold off from submitting any online applications until further notice.
- Current library cardholders are still able to access the Library of Michigan's databases in the same manner as before.
- Once the record transition is completed and everything is tested, we will send out instructions for how cardholders will need to reset their card pin numbers for the new system.
Continue to look on the New Catalog FAQ page on the Library of Michigan's website for additional updates and information.

2023 Michigan Notable Books List Submissions
Have your read a great book this year about Michigan or by a Michigan author? Consider submitting it for the Michigan Notable Books list! The Library of Michigan is currently seeking submissions for the 2023 Michigan Notable Books list.
To be considered for selection, books must:
- Be either about or set in Michigan or the Great Lakes (with a Michigan focus) or written by a Michigan author.
- Be of high quality in research and writing, and have strong current interest or wide audience appeal.
- Be reflective of Michigan's diverse ethnic, historical, literary, and cultural experience.
- Be published in the calendar year prior to the award year (2022). Revised editions and updates of previously published works are not eligible.
- Be received early enough for complete review by the committee prior to the last meeting in the first week of December. Early submission is encouraged. Due to the amount of time necessary to consider each title, the Committee may not have sufficient time to review books received in November and December. Advance review copies will be accepted.
Learn more about the Michigan Notable Books program by going to www.Michigan.gov/NotableBooks or by watching the Michigan Notable Books Promotional Video. Recommend a title by emailing the Library of Michigan at Michigan-Notable-Books@Michigan.gov.
