(L to R) Library Trustees look on as Ferndale Library Director Jessica Keyser
accepts sponsorship check from John Kozich, Vice President of Community
Relations for Credit Union ONE

Ferndale, Michigan – As part of the Make Your Mark campaign, Credit Union
ONE has recently partnered with the Ferndale Library as a Platinum Sponsor to
adopt the Computer Lab at the library.
With the Library’s Make Your Mark campaign, businesses become active fortifiers of
one of Ferndale’s most well-respected, highly-utilized institutions. Potential
library sponsors will make a difference in the community by aiding the
library’s overarching mission: to provide access to materials and services that
inform, enrich, entertain and empower.
“We are proud to be a Platinum Sponsor
of the Make Your Mark campaign for
the Ferndale Public Library,” said John Kozich, Credit Union ONE Vice President
of Community Relations. This five-year sponsorship of the Computer Lab at
the library is a great way for us to support and stay connected with the
community.
“Several hundred people walk through
our doors each day, and they definitely notice when a business steps up and
supports the library,” said Library Director Jessica Keyser. “We believe this
is a great opportunity for businesses to elevate their profile in the
community. We are so grateful to Credit
Union ONE for their generous support of the Ferndale Public Library. We feel
this partnership is such a good fit because both of our organizations are
committed to the well-being of the city and its residents. By working together,
we can make a big difference in the lives of many people in Ferndale and
throughout Southeast Michigan.
The library encourages members of the
business community to adopt programs and prominent areas of the library and be
recognized as supportive partners. Make
Your Mark aims to mitigate recent funding losses from property tax
revenues, which have been declining every year since 2009. Hopes for the program are that local business
assistance will enable the library to diversify their income and become more
financially sustainable.
