This pamphlet focuses on developments in the Library of Michigan during the year 2000. The year 2000 marks the Library of Michigan's 140th consecutive year serving the citizens of Michigan as a federal depository library. A profile of the new State Librarian of Michigan, Christie Pearson Brandau, is given, including her goals as State Librarian, initiatives she has been part of, and upcoming projects. The first Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Open House was held at the Library of Michigan on February 25, 2000.
