Program Recommendation
by Brannon McCullough 17 Jul '24

17 Jul '24

Hello Library Friends, Our library recently hosted theater artist *Anna Marck* and her “*Women of the Watch*” presentation, and I honestly can’t recommend her enough. It’s such a unique program based on the history of female lighthouse keepers of the Great Lakes, but it blends in theatrical and musical elements. I received numerous post-presentation comments from patrons still gushing over her performance a week after we had her. The only unexpected thing which caught me off guard was when she asked me to sign a contract, which for me was the first time I’d been asked to sign one, but after reading it I felt it was fair. There’s some added legitimacy to the performance as well, because it was officially commissioned by the Lorenzo Cultural Center in Macomb, MI. Unique adult library programs with theatrical performative elements are starting to feel rare, so please reach out to her at anna.kamryn(a)gmail.com if interested. Have a great day! -- Brannon McCullough (he/him) Adult Services Librarian Commerce Township Community Library 180 E.

Holidays Around the World Program
by Anna Merritt 17 Jul '24

17 Jul '24

Hello All, I am interested in hosting a Holidays Around the World program this December and would love to find someone who can cover several holidays in one program, however... I have absolutely no idea on where to start to find someone like this. I haven't had much luck with local universities in the past. I know I can reach out to local organizations and religious institutions for specific holidays (Hanukkah, etc.) But, I'd love to find one persons who can talk a little bit about several celebrations. Am I dreaming too big? Any ideas on where to begin my search would be most appreciated. Thanks!
