[Michlib-l] Unfortunate News on A Longtime Member of the Library Community

[Katie Rothley]

I am so very sorry to hear this. Rob Butler is one of the best librarians
I've met and so incredibly passionate beyond imagination about service to
his community. I am so sorry for his family, for Dearborn Heights, and the
library community as a whole. I will miss him; he always volunteered to
help with projects on the TLN adult services committee and
was incredibly friendly and kind.

Rest in peace, Rob. My heartfelt and sincerest condolences to his family.

Katie
