(AP) -- The Library of Michigan is expanding its efforts to help small and rural libraries boost their online presence. More than 40 Michigan libraries have applied to join a program called Plinkit that allows them to set up a Web site providingeasily updated information to the public as well as access to their catalogs.
The state says some of those libraries will get Web sites through the program starting this spring. The expansion follows a pilot project involving five libraries that ran from September through December.
The pilot project involved the Constantine Township Library in St. Joseph County, New Buffalo Township Public Library in Berrien County, Homer Public Library, Vernon District Public Library and the library in Belding.
