Book Sleuths...I need your help in locating a book series.
by Heidi Neil 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hello, I have a patron that is looking for a book series he read in the 1970's, that featured an African American renegade detective ("kind of like Shaft"...patron's words), the patron is fairly sure the series takes place in Chicago and takes place during the 1960's/1970's. It's not Philip Marlowe of Raymond Chandler books... Any suggestions?? Heidi Neil Adult Services Librarian Adrian District Library 143 E. Maumee St. Adrian, Mi 517-265-2265 FAX: 517-265-8847 hneil(a)adrianmi.gov

Your Help Needed: What Is The Oldest Public Library in Michigan?
by Jim Flury 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

All, Earlier today I was contacted by Chris Hall at the Detroit Free Press. You will recall that Chris has always been very interested in as well as supportive of, the Michigan Activity Pass program. To that end, here is the link to an article she wrote about the program that appeared in the March 1, 2015 issue of the Detroit Free Press: http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2015/02/28/michigan-activity… Anyway, with the ongoing celebration of the 150th birthday of Detroit Public Library, Chris asked me if I knew what was the oldest public library in the state of Michigan. By that she didn't mean oldest building but rather, earliest establishment of a public library. She wondered if it might be DPL. I said I didn't know, but that if I had to guess it would be either Sault Ste. Marie or Monroe (previously Frenchtown), based on the fact that those two places were settled so early. I also told Chris that there were people out there in library land who are a lot smarter than I am, who would know the answer to her question: What is the oldest public library in Michigan? Thanks!

FW: DPL as MI oldest library & Data Digest

Just checking in on this issue… Flint Public Library was started by the Ladies Library Association on March 22, 1851 (four years before the City of Flint was chartered!).

It first appeared in the 2006 edition. When compiling public library data, I performed extensive analysis prior to US Census Bureau reporting, and publication of data files and the Data Digest. I also fact checked statements included in the DD. As I no longer possess the notes and files pertaining to the 2006 DD, I cannot with complete certainty cite the source of the factoid currently in dispute. If inaccurate, I apologize to one and all, and am not too proud to admit mistakes. During my tenure as the Library Data Coordinator for the State of Michigan, I took my responsibility seriously. I sincerely hope my overall efforts in every capacity at the Library of Michigan were beneficial to Michigan libraries and all stakeholders. Respectfully submitted, Terri D. Assaf, MLS Department Analyst Michigan Department of Education _______________________________________________ Michlib-l mailing list Michlib-l(a)mcls.org<mailto:Michlib-l@mcls.org> http://mail2.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l _______________________________________________ Michlib-l mailing list Michlib-l(a)mcls.org<mailto:Michlib-l@mcls.org> http://mail2.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l
