Author Visits
by Debbie 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hello, If you are looking for a couple interesting authors to have a program at your library, here are a couple suggestions. Author David Charles Stieler has written about a tragic accident that happened to him and his wife, and their determination to survive it. It is an uplifting story. He is a fun and interesting person. There was no charge to have him come, I don't know if he may charge any mileage. You can find him on Facebook.com or call 989-737-4674 Another author that will come at no cost (they usually will bring their books to sell) is Christine Pechacek (pea-ah-cek). She is an author and Legacy coach. She is creator of Share Your Story, Leave Your Legacy, she will do workshops also, she encourages people to share their story to pass down to their kids and grandchildren. She has written two books. She is fun and engaging with the audience. She can be contacted at www.sharestorymemories.com or email at christineauthor9(a)gmail.com.

by Mary Ann Lenon 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Morton Township Library engaged Kathleen Marcaccio from Royal Oak for a talk on Margaret Mitchell's _Gone With The Wind: The Book and Film_ last week. The audience enjoyed her presentation. Ms. Marcaccio is very knowledgeable on this subject and had a great display of memorabilia. So if you are interested in presenting a talk during this 75th anniversary of this great film, the staff and I highly recommend Ms. Marcaccio. She can be reached at 248-854-6163. -- Mary Ann Lenon Director Morton Township Library 110 South James Street P.O.

This is an open invite to all interested in our upcoming presentation on WWI. I've attached the flyer too. Please join us @ the downtown branch of the Farmington Community Library for this fascinating presentation. World War One is often cited as the event that moved the world into the 20th century. Mechanized warfare, arms races, un-ending stalemates and shell-shock. Do any of these sound familiar today? OCC Professor Emeritus Dennis Fiems will discuss the beginnings of the "War To End All Wars". Hope to see some of you there.
