Audiobook containers
by Bill Wines 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hello Library Peeps: We have 150 or so black vinyl 8-disc capacity audiobook containers that we need to find a home for. The inner sleeves are affixed as a single unit, i.e., it's not like a ring-binder that you can pop open to remove or add individual sleeves. If you would like all or a portion of them, please reply and we will get them to you. -- Bill Wines Circulation & Technical Services Manager Commerce Township Community Library 2869 North Pontiac Trail Commerce, MI 48390 248.669.8108 ext.102 -- The information contained in this electronic message is intended only for the use of the designated recipient(s).

Michigan Innovation
by Murphy, Edwina (MDE) 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

All Welcome! Saturday October 10th at the Library of Michigan, 2:30-3:30 Author Ruth Ann Fruehauf will be talking about her book Singing Wheels and her grandfather's company of truck trailers in Michigan. To commemorate her grandfather's 1914 invention of the semi-trailer, Ruth Ann Fruehauf wrote a book, "Singing Wheels'" honoring the successes and accomplishments of the Fruehauf family legacy. The Fruehauf Trailer Company was the dominant trailer manufacture for nearly a century and became the 75th largest company in the world when it declared bankruptcy in 1997. It all started in a Detroit shop operated by a hard working German immigrant, August Fruehauf. After inventing the concept of the semi-trailer, the company went onto invent the automatic fifth wheel hitch, the dump trailer, the tanker trailer, refrigerated trailers and the shipping container. The colorful history is captured in a coffee table book with 90 pages of photographs from the family archives. For more information please visit www.singingwheels.com.<http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.singingwheels.com%2F&h=eAQHj…> Edwina A.

With the recent tragic events happening in our world today, I feel it is important that we realize that many people we see each day have a private battle they are fighting. It is more important than ever to realize that life is hard for many in our community. But there are ways to reduce how stress impacts your life and the lives of those around you. Please sharing this information with anyone you feel would benefit. Thanks for sharing! Sheila Pere Marquette District Library – First Annual Mental Health & Happiness Fair – promoting a mentally healthy life style through education and information For many people, life is a struggle. They struggle to find ways to deal with the challenges life brings to their door. Whether it is unemployment, divorce, death, relationship conflicts, illness or everyday financial difficulties, life can be overwhelming. Living with overwhelming stress and anxiety affects every element of a person’s life. It take a toll on health and family relationships. But it doesn’t have to be this way. There are many positive ways to handle stress and anxiety so life is not so overwhelming. In keeping with International Mental Health Day (October 10th) the Pere Marquette District Library along with MidMichigan Health, Consumers Energy, Fachting Counseling service, Woodview Learning Strategists, William Glasser Institute - US, and Mental Health & Happiness (www.mentalhealthandhappiness.org) we are excited to present the first annual Mental Health and Happiness Fair -– promoting a mentally healthy life style through education and information. Attached is our flyer for the event. As part of the event we are offering two William Glasser Institute “Take Charge of Your Life” workshops. “Take Charge of Your Life” is a six hour workshop and is based on the book written by Dr. William Glasser.

Wanting to help yourself but not sure what to do? Here is a tool that can offer you relief. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) known as "TAPPING" is a simple but powerful SELF-HELP TOOL that helps you reduce stress. It is based on the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture. However, instead of using needles you "TAP" on specific acupressure points while focusing on stressful thoughts and/or emotions. It can be used on any issue from traumatic experiences to daily situations with job, over-whelm, fears, physical pain, food cravings, anger, etc. It is a tool that can truly help you experience more BALANCE, HEALTH AND JOY. 1:30-2:30 – Judith Wells, Community Education Nurse with MidMichigan Health will be demonstrating how the practice of yoga is used to help relieve stress and anxiety. 2:30-3:30 - Brenna Chapman, Certified Music Therapist. Clare Music Therapy Music Therapy is a prescribed, structured use of music or music activities under the direction of a specially trained personnel to influence changes in maladaptive conditions or behavior patterns, helping clients achieve therapeutic goals. Music breaks down language barriers and makes working toward goals less intimidating and more fun. It can be a carrier of information, a method to reinforce skills, a base and structure for learning or a reflection of skills or processes to be learned. It can be a vehicle for changing your state of mind or way of moving. It is personalized and tailored to you, using your music choices and your abilities to work on your issues.
