Lawrence Technological University, along with the Lawrence Tech Library, is hosting *Joel Stone*, the Senior Curator at the Detroit Historical Society, who will present *"The Ubiquitous Mr. Kahn: Albert Kahn's Architectural Legacy"* Mr. Kahn was one of the most important architects that shaped Detroit yet he is only now being fully appreciated for the innovations he introduced. The talk begins at 7:00 pm on Thursday, February 23, 2017, in the Architecture Building's A200 auditorium. (#10 on the map, can enter at #9) The parking lots closest to 10 Mile are most convenient, but follow the signs to the large parking lot ("C") for additional spaces. Parking and the event are free. After the talk, attendees will be able to view the exhibit, *"Albert Kahn under Construction"* in the adjacent gallery. This exhibit was first shown at the University of Michigan, and now is enhanced with some models from the Albert Kahn Associates. It uses actual photos taken to show Albert Kahn the various stages of construction as his buildings were being erected. These have been reworked as a digital exhibit. Light refreshments will be served. For more information or directions, call the Library at 248-204-3000. And mark your calendar for March 3, 2017: there will be a full-day symposium about Albert Kahn featuring current research and an update from Albert Kahn Associates. for more information about these events, see https://www.ltu.edu/library/kahn.asp (Special thanks to the Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. for providing sponsorship!) _____________________ Gary R.

Copies of Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum needed
by Trixie L. McMeeking 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

Good afternoon, We are hosting Lisa Wheeler here in Homer on March 18th and we would like to do a book drawing while she is here. I have been able to come up with three copies to give as prizes but I was hoping that if any of you had any extra copies that were just languishing in your library with no real purpose, that we could take them off your hands. Any that you would like to send along can be sent through RIDES to zv164. Thank you! Trixie L. McMeeking, Director Homer Public Library 141 W. Main St. Homer, MI 49245 517-568-3450 Fax 517-568-4021 hpl(a)wowway.biz homerpl.michlibrary.org
