Art display materials
by Denise Harris-Fiems 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

The Friends of the White Lake Township Library are sponsoring an art competition this fall to celebrate the opening of our new building. However, we are concerned about how to hang and display the art. Does anyone have dividers or other temporary racks or a system we could borrow or rent to display the art? We don't know what all may come in, but do have limits on size and weight. Thank you for any suggestions or help you can provide. -- *Denise Harris-Fiems* *Reference Librarian* *White Lake Township Library* *11005 Elizabeth Lake Road* *White Lake, MI 48386* *248-698-4942, ext. 4*

Cirque Amongus: program recommendation
by Colleen Leddy 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

We've had Cirque Amongus visit several times over the past dozen years and they never fail to provide an excellent program. This is true of their performance format and their workshop format which entails 10 circus acts that kids get to try out. It's the quintessential hands-on (heck, body-on!) experience. The staff is professional, engaging, and easy to work with. They show up with lots of great equipment (even a trapeze!) and the kids have a blast! If yours is a small library like mine, consider asking your school to allow you to use their gym...that's where we scheduled them last week. Adult volunteers are needed to run the stations with the help of the Cirque Amongus crew, but it's totally worth the time it might take to round them up. http://cirqueamongus.com/ Thanks, Colleen Colleen Leddy, Director Stair District Library 228 W. Main St. Morenci, MI 49256 517/458-6510 Monday & Wednesday: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
