Lighting Issues
by Megan Summers 19 May '21

19 May '21

Hello everyone, At my library, we are waiting on funding to fix some electrical issues that have caused one of our popular browsing areas to go dim. In the meantime, we want to figure out how to illuminate the area. Does anyone have experience finding alternative forms of lighting to make dark areas brighter? We are considering getting dim, wireless LED lights to attach underneath shelves. Please share any successes, products, or insights! Thank you. :) -- Megan Summers Adult Services Librarian Royal Oak Public Library 222 E 11 Mile Rd., Royal Oak, MI 48067 www.ropl.org p: 248.246.3724

Please register online at https://forms.gle/B4iYDntHhXfCrhNGA [1] or call the library to get the Zoom link. )231-533-8814) In line with statements by poet Carl Phillips--"poetry [is] more a transformation of experience rather than a transcription of it"-- and poet Franny Choi--"I think my poems are almost always asking the question: What would it look like for this world to love us back?"--this presentation will explore poetry's power to imagine, ask, and transform. Through a mix of the author's own work and the work of others, we'll talk about how poetry not only helps us understand the world we live in, but how it plays it part in (re-)shaping our world and worlds, both on the page and beyond it. This program is open to anyone, anywhere......registration is only necessary to be able to send Zoom link. We only ask for a name and email. Please feel free to share with your patrons. -- Cindi L.
