Lemony Snicket Reception at ALA
by Robert P. Holley 17 Jun '17

17 Jun '17

I apologize in advance if this is not an appropriate request. I received an invitation to the Lemony Sincket reception at ALA, but somehow managed to delete it before adding it to my conference schedule. Does anyone know when and where it will take place because I had a good time attending last year and would like to go again. This recpetion is an open event and doesn't require a ticket. Last year, I walked in because it was next door to another meeting that I had just attended. Thanks for any help. Bob Robert P. Holley Professor Emeritus, Wayne State University 13303 Borgman Avenue Huntington Woods, MI 48070-1005 email: aa3805(a)wayne.edu phone: 248-547-0306

Reader's Advisory - Name That Book
by Sandi Blakney 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

I read a book in the late 1990's about an American nun who was a minimalist. I believed she lived in the southwestern US, and chose to live in the urban "inner-city" area she was ministering to. She strictly limited the number of possessions - I believe no more than ten books, two dresses, etc. (I can't remember the exact numbers, but it wasn't many per category). She came from a comfortable background, and wrote about her brother's displeasure in her giving away items she received as gifts. At one point, she mentioned he gave her monogrammed or personalized items, in the hopes that she would keep his gifts, but she commented that just made it more of a challenge to give away. She may have been a public speaker - she mentioned flying to a conference, and a child spilled something on her dress. Since it was one of few, that was a bigger deal than it might have been. I want to read this book again, and of course cannot remember its title or who wrote it. I have searched every which way, and I am coming up empty. I am hoping someone has read or heard of this book.

Hi, Does anybody know of in the Michigan election law or any state law that gives people collecting signatures for petitions special rights to collect signatures in public buildings? Or the section of law about guaranteeing access to public buildings to collect signatures for petitions. I've only read about no collecting signatures near polling places. thanks, lise -- Lise Mitchell, Director Grand Ledge Area District Library 131 E.
