Westland Librarians are awesome!
by Kristy Cooper 15 Mar '17

15 Mar '17

Hello again library friends, I want to address some of the things Mr. Neal, the library board president for the Westland Library brought up in the email he sent to everyone about me. You can see my response on my personal facebook page (in order to take this discussion off the listserv): https://www.facebook.com/kristy.cooper.71/posts/10211031091004910?pnref=sto… I want to reiterate that I never sent my original email to personally attack anyone, but to share the Westland library board video to the Michigan library community, since so many people have been contacting me to learn more about what's going on there. So thank you Mr. Neal, for creating more interest in watching that video. I would also like to thank everyone who defended me as well as the five librarians I am trying to advocate for. I really appreciate all of the people who reached out to message me personally in support of our cause. Thank you everyone, Kristy Cooper Former Head of Technology Services and Web Librarian at the Westland Public Library (2007-2013) YA Author at kristycooper.com

As he says in his email, he would like to include similar programs from all around Michigan by putting pictures on their website. Please respond directly to him. Thank you!

Hi Pat, As we talked about last week, we would love to have pictures of library dogs from all around the state for our Michigan Public Radio segment on Otis and the Therapaws program at YDL. So, if your colleagues who have library dog programs want to send me a picture, along with the dog's name and his or her home library, that would be awesome. We will feature their photos on our website alongside our story about the program at YDL. They should also feel free to reach out to me with any questions if they want to know more about what we're doing. Thanks so much! Nick

History Hounds Lecture: That Sinking Feeling: Michigan and the RMS Titanic - Wednesday, March 15
by Larry J. Wagenaar 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

If you consider yourself a History Hound, always wanting to "sniff out" and explore Michigan's most fascinating historical facets, join us for our evening series of in-depth lectures. The Historical Society of Michigan's History Hounds Lecture Series allows attendees to delve into Michigan's history and dig up a bone or two of new appreciation to take home. That Sinking Feeling: Michigan and the RMS Titanic - Wednesday, March 15 at 7 PM Michigan had more than a passing connection to history's most famous maritime disaster. More than 60 passengers aboard the White Star liner were either Michigan residents or immigrants bound for the Wolverine State. United States Senator William Alden Smith, who was from Grand Rapids, organized and chaired the United States inquiry into the sinking. Senator Smith's inquiry and findings became the basis for new maritime safety laws, including the requirement that ships carry enough lifeboats for all aboard. This presentation explores the Titanic's history, her fatal maiden voyage, and the Michiganders who figured into her story. Lectures start at 7 p.m. (unless noted) at the Meijer Education Center at the Historical Society of Michigan, 5815 Executive Dr., Lansing, Michigan. The lecture and Q&As usually last about an hour. Seating is limited and pre-registration is suggested but not required. Walk-ins are welcome. If you are an individual member of HSM, registration is FREE. Registration for non-members is $5. Participants can "attend" remotely, if they prefer, through Zoom Video Communications and will be able to interact with the speaker and other attendees.* For in-person attendees, light refreshments will be available. TO REGISTER to attend visit: http://www.hsmichigan.org/programs/history-hounds-lecture-series/ Larry J. Wagenaar Executive Director, Historical Society of Michigan Publisher, HSM Magazines 5815 Executive Dr. Lansing, MI 48911 Phone: (517) 324-1828 Fax: (517) 324-4370 Email: wagenaar(a)hsmichigan.org Website: www.hsmichigan.org
