Happy New Year Michigan Libraries, As some of you may know, my name is Samantha Jordan and I moved to the Dearborn, Michigan from South Bend, IN in October 2018. I was currently a Youth Services Librarian at St. Joseph County Public Library in South Bend, IN. I have started performing storytimes in the Detroit Metro area with my puppet Lateasha. We have one library for 2019 and welcome more. If you like us to come to your library and perform a storytime, you can reach me at Jordan.L.Samantha(a)gmail.com for details on pricing or a one time volunteer performance. I look forward to serving the Detroit Metro area community. Have a Prosperous New Year. Thank you. *About me:* http://bit.ly/2AltWQf *Storytime videos*: http://bit.ly/2O9opB5 http://bit.ly/2qlLOoC [image: Storytime with Lateasha.jpg] Sincerely, -- *Samantha Jordan* *Children's Librarian/Licensed Michigan Realtor/Yoga Teacher* *IMPORTANT* This email is confidential, intended only for the named recipient(s) and may contain information that is privileged or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
