Program recommendation: Jeff Morrison's Guardians of Detroit
by David Stokes 19 Oct '21

19 Oct '21

Apologies for cross-postings... Via Zoom we hosted historian/photographer/graphic artist Jeff Morrison last night to present his book *Guardians of Detroit: Architectural Sculpture in the Motor City*. We'd originally had Jeff scheduled for May 2020 . . . but then the pandemic. His presentation was worth the wait, as it was a fascinating exploration of an oft-neglected and unseen side of Detroit architecture. Not only was Jeff very knowledgeable on his topic, but is also a good presenter. He provided a lot of history and context for his many great photos. Jeff's book was a 2020 Michigan Notable Book, as well as being selected by the Historical Society of Michigan in 2019 for its State History Award for Outstanding Michigan History Publication. So, if you've not already had him in your library (virtually or in-person), I highly recommend him. David M. Stokes Adult Services Librarian Adult Services Dept. Milford Public Library 330 Family Dr. Milford, MI 48381 248-684-0845, ext. 305 dstokes(a)milfordlibrary.info

CSLP seeking Spanish Committee Volunteers
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 19 Oct '21

19 Oct '21

Hi all, I received this message regarding the CSLP Spanish committees: ================= "Our wonderful committees are just getting started on CSLP's 2023 manual, and I am emailing to request more volunteers for the Spanish Committees. We need people for both the Spanish Idea Committee, which will be working on program ideas from now until the end of this year, and the Spanish Review Committee, which will review and provide feedback on drafted materials in early 2022. Please email this year's Spanish Manual Chair, Deborah Kinirons at <mailto:DKinirons@uniondalelibrary.org%3cmailto:DKinirons@uniondalelibrary.org> DKinirons(a)uniondalelibrary.org<mailto:DKinirons@uniondalelibrary.org>, if you know of anyone passionate about bilingual programming who might be interested in either committee." ================= If this opportunity is of interest, feel free to email Deborah (info above) directly to volunteer. Anyone from a Michigan public library may volunteer, as all are members of CSLP (LM pays your dues). You can volunteer even if your library doesn't regularly use the CSLP themes, as long as your supervisor approves. Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
