A message from program speaker on long distance backpacking
by Matt Church 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

Hi all, Chris Hillier, long distance backpacker extraordinaire, has given long distance backpacking talks to several libraries in Michigan. He's currently hiking the Appalachian Trail and asked that I send the below message to the library community. We had Chris at Berkley and he filled the place. Wonderful presenter! Thanks, Matt Matt Church, Library Director Berkley Public Library 3155 Coolidge Hwy. Berkley, MI 48072 248-658-3440 mchurch(a)berkley.lib.mi.us www.berkley.lib.mi.us ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Hillier" <cbhillier2(a)gmail.com> To: "Matt Church" <mchurch(a)berkley.lib.mi.us> Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2015 1:31:35 PM Subject: A Favor Hi Matt! All is well from mile 346 of the AT. Really enjoying the hike. I'm wondering if you can access the forum that all the librarians use to contact each other and spread news. First, I wanted to thank all the Program Directors that asked me to speak. I think I've given that talk more than a dozen times now and I enjoy every time. They all gave generously to groups like the Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance and it is much appreciated. Second, I'd like all of them to know that I'm back out on the trail for a few months and I won't be available for presentations. Several of them have contacted me asking if I'm available. I'm not only 'not available' but I don't even know when I will be! Honestly, I'm flattered that they ask but I just don't know when I'll be back. Rest assured, I'm out here enjoying new experiences and gathering stories to add to my talk. I have to walk the walk before I can talk the talk! If you can do this for me, great. If not, no big deal. Please let me know if it works out. Thank you! Chris

Wildlife Safari program from Canton MI
by Mawby,Peg 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

We recently had a summer reading program from Wildlife Safari. It was a terrific program with animals that kids could get up close to and pet. How many chances will anyone have to scratch a Siberian Lynx under the chin? Our audience loved the program and it was very reasonably priced.

FREE copies of some wonderful books and audio CDs by part-time Michigan authors
by Sylvia Merz 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

Hello everyone. Two of our dear friends and part-time Leelanau County authors have asked if I would share copies of their published works to any libraries in Michigan that would like them. Their publishing house (Two Canoes Press) is closing, and the titles will be available under a different imprint in the future. They are authors Priscilla Cogan and grandfather Duncan Sings-Alone. Attached is a list of the works they are offering free of charge to libraries (or school libraries if you would like to share with your local schools). If you will return email me which titles you would like, and the number of each if more than one, I will send them off via RIDES. Let me know your Rides number as well to facilitate printing up shipping labels. Please let me know no later than August 15th and I'll get them off to you.
