Study carrel upholstery
by Lori Mills 13 May '19

13 May '19

Hello! I have some very old study carrels and the fabric is all stained and gross. I'm wondering if anyone has ever had study carrels reupholstered and can offer any advice. If you decided to replace old study carrels I would love to hear from you too. I'm trying to find ways to spruce up my hospital library and thought this would be a good place to start! Thank you, Lori Mills Librarian McLaren Macomb Mount Clemens, MI 48043 586-493-8047 Lori.Mills(a)mclaren.org

Author Suggestion - Berl Falbaum
by Julie Farkas 10 May '19

10 May '19

Hello Library World! I have had the pleasure of hosting author Berl Falbaum in the past at Novi Library. He has recently come out with a new book and I wanted to make you aware. Jacket cover is included as well as a press release with contact info if you should want to host him. He is a great speaker and has always had interesting topics. I introduced him to my older adult community and they really enjoyed him. Thanks, Julie *Release: May 10, 2019* SUBJECT: VETERAN JOURNALIST/AUTHOR TELLS STORIES ABOUT LIFE IN WW II SHANGHAI GHETTO TO CAREER IN JOURNALISM, POLITICS AND MORE WEST BLOOMFIELD, Michigan, May 10)---He writes about life as a young boy in a war-torn Shanghai ghetto during World War II, and his immigration to the U.S. where, in the Detroit area, he had a career in journalism, politics ,and corporate life. In writing *Recollections and Reflections*: *From a WWII Shanghai Ghetto to Journalism, Politics* *and other Journeys along the Way*, Berl Falbaum, stressed that he wanted to capture stories that he believed needed to be saved, from which he learned important lessons, and others might find valuable. “This is not about any achievements,” said Falbaum. “These stories were important to me and I hope others will find them useful as well.” The foreword was written by William M. (Bill) Brodhead, former congressman from Detroit’s 17th District. Among the public officials and journalists already praising the book, are: Nolan Finley*, *editorial page editor, *The Detroit News*, called it “captivating.” Alan Hitsky, who held several editor positions at *the Detroit Jewish News*, said it is a “fascination look back at world and Detroit history…” ---more--- *DETROIT AREA JOURNALIST/AUTHOR WRITES MEMOIR* Michigan Appeals Court Judge Mark J. Cavanagh wrote, “The book is not only good, but is culturally and historically important.” Herschel Fink, *Detroit Free Press* legal counsel, said the book was “beautifully written and compelling…” Michael Layne, president of the Marx Layne & Co. public relations firm, described the book as “riveting.” Among his many stories, Falbaum writes about covering the reaction in Detroit to the assassination of President Kennedy; the 1967 Detroit riot; and the controversy at the defunct Bendix Corporation in the early 1980s, perhaps one the biggest scandals in modern corporate history. He also reports on “lighter subjects” such as stories from his extensive travels, including watching a bullfight from inside the ring, swimming with dolphins in the open ocean, and his participation as a supernumerary (an extra) in four operas. Falbaum’s career includes ten years as a general assignment and political reporter for *The Detroit News*, fifteen years in corporate public relations and four years in as administrative aide to Michigan’s lieutenant governor. He has published nine other books, one of which, *Shanghai Remembered*: *Stories of Jews Who Escaped to Shanghai from Nazi Europe*, won an IPPY award from the Independent Publishers Association. For 45 years, Falbaum was an adjunct faculty member in the journalism department at Wayne State University in Detroit. Falbaum is donating half of all proceeds from the book to EnPuzzlement, a Toledo, Ohio, non-profit organization that, since 2009, had provided assistance to organizations that help the needy with food, hygiene items, cleaning products and medical supplies. (EnPuzzlement: en=to cause; puzzlement-exercise your mind; ment=achieve results.) The proceeds are being made in the name of Allan Marks, Falbaum’s friend of 65 years who died in December 2018. Hardcover books can be ordered by sending an email to sdbooksllc(a)yahoo.com. Ebooks are available at Amazon.com. Berl is available as a speaker. If you interested in scheduling an event with him, call him directly at 248-855-5383.

Merlin Magix phone system for parts
by Bruce MacDonald 10 May '19

10 May '19

We have a Merlin Magix analog phone system (no handsets) that could be used to keep parts on hand if you are still trying to support one of these. This is a recent pull that worked when last used in 2016. It was installed in 2000, and used run 30 or so phones. These are modular, so the power supplies and expansion cards can be pulled and swapped. I can piece it out, or you can have the whole thing. One cabinet is just an expansion module that adds 8 additional lines to the other cabinet. If you want the voicemail module, the memory will be wiped clean prior to sending. Please reply directly to me via email or phone. Bruce MacDonald Peter White Public Library Marquette, Michigan 906-226-4307 [image: IMG_0354.jpg] [image: IMG_0356.jpg] [image: IMG_0357.jpg]
