Ben Franklin College Funding
by Bill Wines 02 May '15

02 May '15

Has anyone out there had dealings with a gentleman named Robert Sachs who represents a college scholarship program called "Ben Franklin College Funding"? He's looking to use our facilities to promote his endeavor. Presumably it's a not-for-profit organization. I'm having a difficult time finding out anything about it, and the distinct lack of an online presence is sending up red flags for me. -- 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).

Cromaine Library in Hartland hosts Teachers' Discovery Frida Kahlo exhibit through May 9
by Ceci Marlow 01 May '15

01 May '15

Folks are welcome to go on up, without escort, to view the exhibit which is at our main library, 3688 N. Hartland Road, Hartland, on the third floor. It is an educational exhibit with panels explaining and putting into context some of Kahlo's works. This exhibit will be up through May 9, then shipping out on Monday for the next site. We have a three-part series which begins May 6, "A Taste of A.L.I.V.E." with a talk from the Michigan Labor History Society about the Ford Hunger March/Massacre which happened in Detroit the month before Rivera and Kahlo arrived in Detroit. Henry Ford directed his guards to shoot the marching workers. His son, Edsel Ford, had commissioned Rivera to paint the Detroit Industry murals at the DIA. Quite a contrast in thoughts about the Detroit assembly worker. May 13 we'll show a lesser-known film about Kahlo, that was filmed in part at her home, Casa Azul. May 20 we have an opportunity for hands-on Frida-inspired crafts. All of these programs begin at 6:30 pm and all are held at the Village location, 3688 N. Hartland Road, Hartland. The exhibit and the series are here to coincide with the Detroit Institute of Arts Rivera-Kahlo exhibit which is open now through July 12. This is the first exhibit of Kahlo's works in Detroit and also showcases newly restored preparatory drawings by Rivera for the Detroit Industry murals. We believe "Frida-mania" (as her biographer Herrera termed it) is widespread. We wanted Cromaine to be able to offer, once again in keeping with the Crouse Hartland Project legacy, a connection to Mexican art and culture, our own auto industry history and this exceptional female artist. Questions? Call Ceci Marlow, 810-632-5200, ext. 105.

microfilm reader
by Shirley Roos 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hello All, we have a very old microfilm reader that has stopped working. Does anyone know of anybody that repairs them or would have parts. I know a place in Texas will fix it but I am sure it would cost a fortune to send it there. Thanks in advance for any information you could send my way. Shirley Roos Holly Township Library 1116 N. Saginaw St. Holly MI 48442
