Old Detroit Free Press and News up for grabs
by Janelle Bishop 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Hey Everyone, I had someone for our community donate two old newspapers to our library. We can't use them and neither can our local historical society. Is there anyone who would like them? I can send them in RIDES delivery... They are the Detroit Free Press from Wednesday, April 1, 1981 and the Detroit News from March 31, 1981 and seem to center around an assassination attempt of President Reagon. They are yellowed and have fold marks in them because it looks like they were stored in the original delivery bag folded in thirds but otherwise are in good condition. I have attached a picture of them below. Let me know if anyone wants them. Thanks, Janelle Janelle (Martin) Bishop Head of Fiction Marguerite deAngeli Library Lapeer District Library 921 W. Nepessing St. Lapeer, MI 48446 jmartin(a)lib.lapeer.org 810-664-6971 ext 3218
