    Kudos to Comerica Bank. But you don’t have to be a bank to make a difference to your local library branch. Have a favorite childhood book? Share it with today’s kids. Order a copy online and donate it the library. Do you have a stack of DVDs that your bought knowing that you will only watch once? Give them to your neighborhood branch who will put the movies into their circulation. Even better, have a favorite that you will watch over & over? Buy a copy and donate it so others can be inspired.
