The efforts of staff members at the
Canton Public Library to provide the best
service possible to users has been recog-
nizedby theLibrary ofMichigan.
The Canton Public Library was recent-
ly awarded a certificate of completion for
meeting the Essential Level requirement
of the Quality Services Audit Checklist of
the Library of Michigan. To earn certifica-
tion, the Canton Public Library demon-
strated competence in seven categories of
achievement including human resources;
governance/administration; services; col-
lection development; technology; facilities
and equipment and public relations/mar-
keting.
“Achieving the Essential Level certifi-
cation proves to Canton residents that our
public library is committed to excellence
in governance, operations, finances, and
public service,” said Eva Davis, library
director.
“I am proud of my coworkers, library
board, and volunteers for all they do to
contribute to our success.”
Essential services have been defined
by the Library of Michigan as the basics of
all library service; relatively low-cost stan-
dards that every library can and should
achieve. They are helpful guidelines to
libraries just starting out, while providing
important review for more established
institutions, noted State Librarian Randy
Riley. Essential standards are described
as “those which should be achieved first
because of their fundamental impor-
tance.”
“Quality Services Audit Checklist
(QSAC) represents the word of more than
100 library directors, trustees and staff
members who together created measures
of quality for our state's public libraries,”
said Riley. “The staff of the Canton Public
Library is to be commended for achieving
a vitalmilestone in library service.”
The measures of QSAC are updated on
a three-year schedule so certified libraries
remain at the forefront of excellent serv-
ice. QSAC was made possible by the
Institute of Museumand Library Services.
The Institute of Museum and Library
Services, an independent federal grant-
making agency dedicated to creating and
sustaining a nation of learners by helping
libraries and museums serve their com-
munities, supports the Canton Public
Library.
“We will soon begin work on achieving
enhanced certification, benchmarking our
services at the next QSAC level to ensure
that we remain leaders in the library
industry and across the state,”Davis said.
The Canton library is in the final stages
of the fourth phase of the Patron Service
Improvement Project, which includes a
renovation of the Friends of the Canton
Public Library bookstore, Secondhand
Prose, the Northeast Corner, including the
Teen Space, and the Southeast Corner
Study Space. The Teen Space is the last of
the phase four renovations and it will be
complete inApril, Davis said.
Phase IV carries on the improvements
of the previous program, which renovated
service points in the central area of the
library, including the main restrooms,
lobby and the Children's Library. The
ongoing plan includes the replacement of
worn furnishings at the library and an
update at the facility to meet changing
needs in the community.

Two new members have been
appointed to the Westland
Historical Commission, filling
vacant terms.
Appointed to the commission
by Mayor William Wild were
Michael McElhone and Dennis
Bozyk.
McElhone said he has strong
roots in metro-Detroit and has
been interested in pursuing his
education in American History
since childhood. He moved to
Westland in 2002 and is currently
an officer of the Detroit-Windsor
Algonquin Historical Club which
was established in 1934 to pro-
mote the shared local history
betweenWindsor andDetroit.
“As I'm looking towards retir-
ing in Westland within the next
few years, I've decided I want
and need to be more involved
with local Westland history,”
commentedMcElhone.
Bozyk, the second new face
on the Historical Commission, is
a 45-year Westland resident.
Bozyk is the chair of the
Department of History at
Madonna University. His aca-
demic emphasis has been in the
area of International History, but
he said he has recently discov-
ered his interest for local and
state history.
“Since the announcement of
vacancies on the commission, I
met with the president Jeff
Koslowski,” commented Bozyk.
“He and I agree that I may be
able to contribute to the commis-
sion's efforts to recover the story
of Westland and to share that
storywith our fellowcitizens.”
The Historical Commission is
a nine-member board appointed
by the mayor. The commission-
ers collect, maintain, and pre-
serve any materials and docu-
ments relating to the history of
Westland and Nankin Township.
The commission also operates
the Helen C. Brown Historical
Museumat 857N.WayneRoad.
Westland
Historical
Commission members meet at 7
p.m. the last Tuesday of the
month at the Helen C. Brown
HistoricalMuseum.
“I could not be more thrilled
to welcome these two gentlemen
to the Westland Historical
Commission,” commented Wild.
“Preserving and sharing the his-
tory of the City of Westland is
crucial and these new members
bring incredible experience and
passion to the commission.”
