Dive into the long weekend with our #BeltedKingfishers! While these gorgeous young birds were learning how to dive for fish, we used shallower pools as they gained confidence in their abilities. Check back tomorrow for an update on these daring divers!

Last week, the U-M Regents approved the expansion of the #GoBlueGuarantee for students at the Ann Arbor campus as part of a 2023-24 budget that highlights affordability along with @UMichStudents, faculty, and staff success. myumi.ch/JpZe5
“The proposed budget supports both our current position as an exemplary public university and our ambition — in the best sense of that word — to do more. It does so while maintaining the fiscal discipline that is a hallmark of responsible stewardship of our resources.” Laurie McCauley, U-M Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs

You've just ordered pizza and the fridge is stocked with drinks. Your computer is ready to go. No school tomorrow. Your parents don't care if you stay up all night long. You're 41 years old. The year is 2023. It's the start of another SUMMER GAME! aadl.org/play
Five illustrated characters representing the five libraries pose amidst leafy green trees and a blue sky. There's a snail thing, a coffee cup with an AADL flag, a giant part brick part awesome thing with AAATA buses for forearms, a smiling turtle with a birdhouse as a necklace, and an emerald ash borer with a staff. It's a lot. In a good way.

Chris Neri started banding owls at WPBO in the spring of 1999 and has dedicated much of his life to working at this unique migration site. Here he is, banding his 10,000th WPBO owl (a long-eared). This is such a significant accomplishment for any bander! 📸 Nova Mackentley
