by Shutta Crum 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Hey all! As National Reading Month rolls around again, I keep getting emails about where/how to contact local authors for school and library presentations. Please remember that the Society of Children's Book Authors and Illustrators has a very active chapter in Michigan (400+ members). A listing of those published who do talks is at the Mi--SCBWI site: https://michigan.scbwi.org/authors-illustrators . Also the State keeps a list known as the Mich. Authors & Illustrators Database. It's at: http://libraryofmichigan.state.mi.us/Authors . And do remember, the sooner you can schedule an author for Reading Month, the better. Many are completely booked months out. Have a happy March! (And it isn't too soon to start preparing for next March!) Ciao! Shutta *Shutta Crum* *www.shutta.com <http://www.shutta.com/>* *WILLIAM AND THE WITCH'S RIDDLE (Coming, 2016.

MI Genealogical Council, Lucy Mary Kellogg Award
by Chelsea Johnson 28 Feb '16

28 Feb '16

Attention Michigan genealogy and local history librarians and researchers - the Michigan Genealogical Council is seeking nominees for the 2016 Lucy Mary Kellogg Award and is asking for your help in getting the word out! As genealogy and local history librarians, we are often uniquely connected to our communities. If you know of someone who is active in your area, is a member of one of the MGC societies, and deserves recognition for their hard work and contributions to local history and genealogy resources, please consider nominating them or passing this information on to someone in your local genealogical or historical society. Since 1992, the Michigan Genealogical Council has offered the Lucy Mary Kellogg award as a way to honor the rich genealogical contributions brought to our community by dedicated members of Michigan's genealogical societies. Named for the first woman and first Midwesterner to be chosen for the National Genealogy Hall of Fame, the award allows us to celebrate our most active members for their service. The award has been given to twenty individuals since its creation, generating hundreds of dollars in donations to local societies, the Library of Michigan, and the Archives of Michigan. Because of a recent drop in submissions, the last Lucy Mary Kellogg award was granted in 2012 and we need help bringing attention to the award to receive enough submissions to continue recognizing the valuable offerings brought by our members. To gather judges and award the 2016 Lucy Mary Kellogg award, we need to receive a minimum of three submissions by June 1st. To nominate someone for the award you just submit a brief nomination form and a letter of recommendation (up to 500 words) which lists the individual's achievements and contributions. Societies are encouraged to solicit multiple letters of recommendation from groups or individuals familiar with the nominee and their work. As with research - the more evidence, the better! Please visit our website <http://www.mimgc.org/cpage.php?pt=14> for a list of requirements and our nomination form. Questions can be emailed to info(a)mimgc.org or johnsonc(a)yourmdl.org. Thank you for your time, and have a great week! Best regards, Chelsea --- Chelsea Johnson Awards Committee, MI Genealogical Council Research Chair, Calhoun Co. Genealogical Society Genealogy and Local History Librarian, Marshall District Library (269) 781-7821 ex.23 johnsonc(a)yourmdl.org
