*Do any of your libraries have a Cricut for patron use? * *If so, what model? How does your usage work? Are patrons required to bring their own paper or vinyl? Is there any cost involved to the patron?* *We are contemplating the purchase of a Cricut, but we aren't sure whether to offer it for patron usage or just keep it in the staff area.* *Thanks for your input!* *Perri * -- Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N.

Presenter recommendation: Tom Carr
by Jennifer Hassell 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

Author Tom Carr is visiting the Farmington Community Library on March 14th to give a book talk on his most recent publication Mi Bad: Robbers, Cutthroats & Thieves in Michigan's Past & Present. He has a bit of a drive coming from the Traverse City area so I told him that I would send a shout out to other libraries whom may be interested in having him present. We had Tom in for a book talk on his previous title Blood on the Mitten: Infamous Michigan Murders 1700s to Present a few years back and it was a fun time. If you are looking for March programming around 3/14 reach out ?to him, I know that he'd be interested. Tom Carr: thomasrobertcarr(a)gmail.com https://amzn.to/2SgnL6s?
