Magazines/books/DVDs to pass on
by T.A. Cutler Memorial Library 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

We had donated to us multiple issues of National Geographic magazine by a collector/speaker on the Titanic. We can't use these, but wondered if any other libraries out there might need or want copies. The issues are as follows: Vol. 168, No. 6, December 1985--Featured stories are How We Found Titanic by Robert D. Ballard; Vatican City; Treasures of the Vatican; Nicaragua: Nation in Conflict; and Daniel Boone, First Hero of the Frontier (4 copies) Vol. 170, No. 6, December 1986--Featured stories are A Long Last Look at Titanic; Westminster, the palace that became parliment; Halley's comet; Ghosts on the Little Bighorn; and Tsetse, fly of the deadly sleep (4 copies) Vol. 185, No. 4, April 1994--Featured stories are The Everglades, Dying for help; Kamchatka; Riddle of the Lusitania; John Wesley Powell; Chile's uncharted Cordillera Sarmiento (2 copies) Vol. 173, No. 4, October 1987--Featured stories are Women of Arabia; Epilogue for Titanic; "Doc" Edgerton, the man who made time stand still; North Carolina's outer banks; The smell survey, its results; Baltistan: 20th-century Shangri-La (6 copies) Also donated are two biographies of Bob Dylan. While they appear to be well reviewed and well written, they appear more scholarly nature/critique then typical biography and I just don't think they'll see the circulation here they would at a larger (or possibly academic) library. Revolution in the air : The songs of Bob Dylan, 1957-1973 by Clinton Heylin, 9781613743362 (c2009) Bob Dylan in America by Sean Wilentz, 9780767931793 (c2010) (in looking over some of the reviews for this book, I saw criticism of a particular photograph on the hard cover issue of the book; this is the paperback and does not include the photograph) Also donated: The Curse of Beauty : the scandalous & tragic life of Audrey Munson, America's first supermodel, 9781942872030 (c2016) A couple of discards from my library (so associated markings) that just don't see the circulation they need here to retain shelf space, but of a nature another library might like them to replace a worn out copy: "Tall Timber, Deep Roots," autobiography of Dale A. Woods, Free Methodist pastor in Eastern Michigan (c1989) "Whistle up the Bay" by Nancy Stone (c1966)--three orphaned sons of a Swiss immigrant in Antrim County struggle (successfully) to eke out a living on their father's farm, working in lumber camps, and loading ships. Michigan's Courthouses Old and New by Maurice F. Cole (c1974) Finally the DVD series "Reilly, Ace of Spies : the amazing true story of the world's first international super spy" starring Sam Neill, c1983; issued on DVD 2005 by A&E Television Networks. This is a four disc series, each disc in it's own jewel case and three episodes per disc. This is a library discard, lightly circulated (3 to 7 circs per disc). If you are interested in any of the above, please respond with your RIDES code. Thank you, Jessica Little T.A. Cutler Memorial Library 312 Michigan Ave. Saint Louis, Michigan 48880 (989) 681-5141

Lawrence Technological University, along with the Lawrence Tech Library, is hosting *Joel Stone*, the Senior Curator at the Detroit Historical Society, who will present *"The Ubiquitous Mr. Kahn: Albert Kahn's Architectural Legacy"* Mr. Kahn was one of the most important architects that shaped Detroit yet he is only now being fully appreciated for the innovations he introduced. The talk begins at 7:00 pm on Thursday, February 23, 2017, in the Architecture Building's A200 auditorium. (#10 on the map, can enter at #9) The parking lots closest to 10 Mile are most convenient, but follow the signs to the large parking lot ("C") for additional spaces. Parking and the event are free. After the talk, attendees will be able to view the exhibit, *"Albert Kahn under Construction"* in the adjacent gallery. This exhibit was first shown at the University of Michigan, and now is enhanced with some models from the Albert Kahn Associates. It uses actual photos taken to show Albert Kahn the various stages of construction as his buildings were being erected. These have been reworked as a digital exhibit. Light refreshments will be served. For more information or directions, call the Library at 248-204-3000. And mark your calendar for March 3, 2017: there will be a full-day symposium about Albert Kahn featuring current research and an update from Albert Kahn Associates. for more information about these events, see https://www.ltu.edu/library/kahn.asp (Special thanks to the Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. for providing sponsorship!) _____________________ Gary R.
