by Tina Russette 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

Hello Everyone, Please join us for a virtual event Monday, 3/29/21 at 7 pm for The Ladies of the Lights. This is another event to celebrate Women's History Month. Ladies of the Lights will be presented by Dianna Stampfler, of Promote Michigan. They were women before their time, taking on the romantic, yet dangerous and physically demanding job of tending to the beacons that protected the shoreline. In all, some 40 women have been identified who excelled in this profession over the years — dating back as early as the 1840s and as recent as present day. Nearly 70 images of keepers, their families and their lights make up this presentation. Please register on our website at https://hollylibrary.org/events. The Zoom link will be emailed by Noon on Monday. Please share with your library community and staff. Tina -- Tina Marie Russette Adult/Teen Services Manager Holly Township Library 1116 N. Saginaw St. Holly, MI 48442 248-634-1754

Central Michigan University's Children's Books from Around the World
by Whitledge, Bryan R 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

Last month, we announced the Clarke Historical Library's "Children's Books from Around the World" program. We are pleased to announce that all of the recordings are complete! Anyone with an internet connection can access all of the recordings on the Clarke's website anytime they wish - https://clarke.cmich.edu/InternationalChildrensBooks We created 38 recordings, with readings by 49 volunteers (all students, faculty, and staff at Central Michigan University) in 15 different languages for a total of more than 4 hours 40 minutes of recordings! What better way to end March is Reading Month than to kick back and watch a story in Italian, Korean, or Portuguese, Chinese, and more. We greatly appreciate all of the volunteers and all of the staff and faculty in CMU's Office of Global Engagements and CMU's Department of World Languages and Cultures for helping to bring this together. And a huge thanks goes to Nova, our student assistant in the Clarke, for their excellent work with the processing and the editing of these videos. Thanks and have a great Friday, Bryan Whitledge Archivist for University Digital Records Clarke Historical Library Central Michigan University 989-774-2159 whitl1br(a)cmich.edu
