by Babarskis, Melinda (MDE) 30 Aug '24

30 Aug '24

Good afternoon, The Michigan Underground Railroad Heritage Gathering, hosted by the Michigan Freedom Trail Commission<https://www.michigan.gov/mhc/about/advisors-supporters/michigan-freedom-tra…>, is an annual conference for individuals, organizations and communities interested in our state's Underground Railroad heritage. Building off previous gatherings, the 2024 conference will provide opportunities for learning and networking through keynote speakers, workshops, and group and individual presentations. It takes place at the Michigan Library and Historical Center at 702 W. Kalamazoo St. in Lansing on Saturday, September 21 from 8:30 am - 3:30 pm. To register for the event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2024-michigan-underground-railroad-heritage-ga… To see an agenda for the event: https://www.michigan.gov/mhc/about/advisors-supporters/michigan-freedom-tra… The theme for this year's gathering is "Working toward Freedom: Occupations and the Underground Railroad." Hosted at the Michigan History Center<https://www.michigan.gov/mhc> in Lansing, the conference will explore how certain occupations provided people with greater opportunity to be involved in assisting freedom seekers: hotel keepers and staff, tavern keepers, toll gate keepers, barbers, pastors and denominational official, even farmers. Those who worked at key locations, in places where information was exchanged or traveled regularly often played vital roles in the Underground Railroad. Registration fee covers the cost of lunch. The Michigan Freedom Trail Commission preserves, protects and promotes the rich legacy of the Underground Railroad and the antislavery movement in Michigan. For more information, please contact Sherif Giffin at giffins(a)michigan.gov<mailto:giffins@michigan.gov>.

The Library of Michigan (LM) is pleased to announce twelve Improving Access to Information grants for the 2024/2025 fiscal year.

The Improving Access to Information grant program is intended to help Michigan's public and academic libraries provide improved access to collections in one of three areas: literacy, local history or special collections, and services to community users with limited online access, e.g. improving equity through digital inclusion. Of the twelve grant recipients, one is an academic library and eleven are public libraries. Two libraries received local history or special collections grants, two libraries received digital inclusion grants, and eight libraries received literacy related grants. The project descriptions are listed in the attachment.

Hello all, Are you doing some post-Summer Reading cleaning and have empty, non-locking DVD cases laying around that you'd love to get rid of? Well, the Burnette Branch is happy to help! We're looking for about 50 DVD cases. Please send them to zv844 WMB (Burnette Branch), but please also give me a heads-up in case we've meet our max, as we have very little storage space here at our small branch. Thanks so much! Maren Kroening (she/hers) Branch Librarian - Maybelle Burnette Branch Warren Public Library 23345 Van Dyke Warren, MI 48089 586.353.0579 mkroening(a)cityofwarren.org
