Speaker Recommendation

Last night the Shelby Township Library hosted Civil War reenactor Tim Puzzella from the Multi Lakes Association for Civil War Studies.We had about 30 people in attendance and he was very well received. Several people thanked us for having him after the program. He wore era-appropriate clothing and shared a lot of equipment that either a Union or Confederate soldier would have used or carried during the war. Mr. Puzzella does not charge a fee but he does request that a donation be made to his non-profit organization, amount is up to the library. He works as a school teacher during the school year so he is most available in summers. Elizabeth Campion, Librarian Shelby Township Library 586-739-7414 -- A library is a miracle. A place where you can learn just about anything for free. A place where your mind can come alive." Josh Hanagarne, *The World's Strongest Librarian*
