An Evening with Howard Markel at The State Theatre in Bay City
by Mary Ruthko 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

The Friends of the Bay County Libraries are proud to present Michigan Notable Author Howard Markel, MD, PhD at The State Theatre in Bay City on Thursday, April 11, 2019 at 7:00 pm. Admission is FREE! Dr. Markel will present his latest book, "The Kelloggs: The Battling Brothers of Battle Creek". Copies of Markel's books will be on sale at the event, or you may bring your own for the book signing after the presentation. “The Kelloggs: The Battling Brothers of Battle Creek” paints an incredible picture of more than just the cereal brand most people connect to the name. This exceptionally written slice of American history weaves the non-fiction tale of two brothers with competing ideologies. Racism, Nazi eugenics, sanitariums, industry, humanity, generosity, and corn flakes makes for a story that is wildly popular with book clubs, those who enjoy a good story about Michigan entrepreneurs, and history buffs of all types. A semi-finalist for the PEN America Literary Prize in Biography, “The Kelloggs…” was named Best Book of the Month (History, August 2017) by Amazon Books, Best Book of the Summer, 2017 by Newsday, Best Nonfiction Book (Biography) of the Year, 2017 by Kirkus Review, and Best Nonfiction Book of the Year, 2017 by The Boston Globe. It was also chosen by the State of Michigan Department of Education and the Library of Michigan as the “Michigan Notable Book for 2018.” Howard Markel, M.D., Ph.D., is the George E. Wantz Distinguished Professor of the History of Medicine, director of the Center for the History of Medicine at the University of Michigan. A prolific author, Dr. Markel has written several other books and his articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Journal of the American Medical Association, and The New England Journal of Medicine. Fans of NPR and Michigan Radio may recognize Dr. Markel, who has been a guest expert on both stations. Markel is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Presenter Recommendation: Naturalist Andrew Nowicki
by Brandi Tambasco 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

Earlier this month, the Howell Carnegie District Library had Andrew Nowicki, a naturalist based in Fowlerville, present on Michigan Wildlife. Mr. Nowicki is passionate and enthusiastic about learning and teaching about living things. He has worked at the Howell Nature Center and is a recent graduate of zoology from MSU. Back in September 2018, he presented his first program with us on African Wildlife and Conservation based on his travels on the continent through MSU. At our program this month, Andrew shared pictures and sounds of common Michigan fauna as well as great information on habitats and animal spotting. He also brought with props including a daytime telescope he uses for animal watching. We had a good attendance for both of his events, with plenty of audience interaction, whether it was questions or sharing stories. The feedback from the audience both verbally and on our written event evaluations rated his programs excellent and included requests to have him return for future library programs. Mr. Nowicki is just starting out on his career as a nature educator and it's already a promising one, not just from our Library staff's perspective, but also based on audience feedback. Andrew is personable and knowledgeable; his presenter fee was very reasonable; and he has been a pleasure to work with. He's on our list of go-to presenters. If you are interested in having Mr. Nowicki present at your library, he can be reached at nowicki418(a)gmail.com (his website is currently being developed).
