cid:image002.jpg@01D2700F.B8241B00 Join Michiganders on the RoadT as we head west this fall. The American West is part of our American heritage, from Horace Greeley's admonition "Go West, Young Man" to the TV westerns of our youth. Our October 5-13, 2019, Gateway to the West Tour explores the Missouri and Kansas region that served as the gateway to the American West. Our nine-day, eight-night tour explores historic sites in Missouri and Kansas: the Gateway to the West. We'll visit Cahokia Mounds, the Old Cowtown and National Frontier Trails Museums, Fort Larned National Historic Site, the Great Plains Nature Center, the homes of U.S. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower, the National WWI Museum, and much more. We'll also enjoy a chuck wagon dinner, a railroad dinner train, and a steamboat dinner cruise! <https://hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Gateway-West-itinerary.pd f> See the full tour itinerary. <http://hsmichigan.org/programs/michiganders-on-the-road/gateway-west-regist ration/> Register online. <https://hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Gateway-West-registration .pdf> Download the registration form. $1,995* *Includes motor coach transportation; all lodging; all dinners and breakfasts; and all admission fees, taxes, and gratuities.

Join us for the four-day, three-night America's Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright Tour from August 17-20, 2019, as we explore the life of Frank Lloyd Wright, a brilliant architect and a problematic personality. Controversy, scandal, and even murder swirled through his life. He designed buildings that have become World Heritage Sites, created new architectural styles, and integrated his structures with the surrounding landscape. He also undercut his first employer; made impossible demands on builders; left his wife for a married woman; and suffered the loss of his wife, friends, and home in an arson-murder. Wright's biography is more astounding than fiction-and we'll experience the whole story on our tour. <https://hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/FrankLloydWright_Itinerar y.pdf> See the full tour itinerary. <http://hsmichigan.org/programs/michiganders-on-the-road/frank-lloyd-wright- registration/> Register online for this tour. <https://hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/FrankLloydWright_Registra tion.pdf> Download the registration form. $799* *Includes motor coach transportation; all lodging; all dinners and breakfasts; some lunches; and all admission fees, taxes, and gratuities.

TLN RBdigital Magazines Group Milestone: 100 Participating Libraries!
by Jim Flury 26 Jun '19

26 Jun '19

Good Morning, It is with pleasure that we welcome Pinckney Community Public Library and Houghton Lake Public Library to the TLN RBdigital Magazines [ https://www.rbdigital.com/thelibrarynetworkmi/service/magazines/landing? | https://www.rbdigital.com/thelibrarynetworkmi/service/magazines/landing? ] group. Both libraries will go live with the service on July 1, 2019. The addition of Houghton Lake and Pinckney to the group brings the total number of participating libraries, which went live with nine libraries on May 1, 2013, to 100. Although I am no doubt biased following more than a few years of engagement in this type of work, I really do believe that the RBdigital magazines group, which just happens to be administered at and by TLN but could be run as well if not better by anybody anywhere, is a good example of the value of cooperation. Thank you for your support and promotion of the TLN RBdigtal Magazines service. Jim F.
