GRANDVILLE, Mich. (WZZM)- For those used to the traditional method of checking out a library book, the concept of e-books might be a little intimidating.  That is why the digital bookmobile is stopping in West Michigan this week.

Visitors can browse their local library's free digital collections and learn how to download and borrow an e-book.

The Kent District Library's communications manager Eric DeHaan says, "We're seeing a big increase in usage of our e-books.  There are still people who really like the print format.  I don't think that's going away anytime soon.  I would anticipate that use of e-books will continue to go up and as costs of the readers go down, more people will take advantage of library e-books."

On Saturday, October 8, 2011, we will host an evening of family fun at Lamar Park including local business/organization giveaways and a Pumpkin Carving and Decorating contest!

Wyoming, Mich., August 16, 2011 – The City of Wyoming Public Works Department will be performing the water maintenance process of water main-flushing beginning on Sunday, August 21 and continuing for several weeks.

Crews will systematically operate, inspect and repair all 3,500 fire hydrants on the city’s water distribution system.  The work will take place each night, weather permitting, from 9 p.m. through 6:30 a.m. until all hydrants have been checked. They will be flushing the hydrants at their full capacity for a short time in order to flush any sediment from the water main. This maintenance work ensures good water quality throughout the system. 

Residents may notice cloudy or rusty water when they first turn on the tap in these affected neighborhoods.  Letting the water run for a minute or two usually clears the line.
