If you haven't done so yet, we encourage everyone to do so in order to get the word out. Over the next few months, we will highlight each individual title on our social media accounts so please share those as well. Additional social media graphics will soon be available on the main Michigan Notable Books page so feel free to utilize them once they are uploaded: www.Michigan.gov/NotableBooks<http://www.Michigan.gov/NotableBooks>. COVID permitting, we are planning on having the Michigan Notable Books Author Tour later this year. I will send out additional information about the tour (including how libraries can apply to host one of the 2022 authors) over the next few weeks. Night for Notables will also be taking place in-person this year and is scheduled for Saturday, April 30, 2022 at the Library of Michigan. We are extending invitations to all the authors of the 2020, 2021, and 2022 Michigan Notable Books lists to be honored at this year's Night for Notables. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at ostera(a)michigan.gov<mailto:ostera@michigan.gov>. Thank you for all your help and we're looking forward to another year of showcasing the great stories that come from Michigan!

Oil Painting Preservation and Display
by Don LaBarre 03 Jan '22

Hello All! Recently our Library received an oil painting portrait from 1860 of the namesake of our Library. Overall the painting seems to be in decent condition but we need help in connecting with someone or an organization that could help us properly preserve it if possible. The donor's hope is for it to be displayed in a public space and we want to see what the best options are. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Don La Barre Special Collections Librarian *(He, Him, His)* Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library P: 989-356-6188 E: dlabarre(a)alpenalibrary.org 211 N First Ave Alpena, MI
