Documentaries
by Dave Ewick 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Hi All - Libraries are a great place for patrons to find fantastic documentaries. I wanted to recommend a few documentary DVD titles, and ask others for their recommendations. If I can find links, I'll add them after the title. Everyone rushes in to us for the latest theatrical titles, but there are some wonderful gems in the documentaries that get over-looked and it is only through libraries that many of them will be found. Landfill harmonic - http://www.landfillharmonicmovie.com/ http://www.upworthy.com/watch-the-first-54-seconds-that-s-all-i-ask-you-ll-… It's a Girl - http://www.itsagirlmovie.com/ Tough Guise - http://www.mediaed.org/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=211 (Media Educ. is a great source) Flirting with Danger - http://www.mediaed.org/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=250 The Art of Possibility - http://www.enterprisemedia.com/product/00648/art-possibility-series/ (wish I could afford this!) Please reply to me off-list if you have a title to share, or a company that you want other librarians to check out. I'll compile a bigger list and we can all see what each other recommends.

Sad News: Frances H. (Fran) Pletz
by Jim Flury 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

All, It is with sadness that we share news of the death of long-time Michigan public library advocate Frances H. (Fran) Pletz, who passed away Monday, December 2 in Charlevoix. We will share details regarding arrangements as they become available. In addition to her 13 years of service as Executive Director of the Michigan Library Association, service on the Library of Michigan Board of Trustees as well as the Library of Michigan Foundation's Board of Directors, Mrs. Pletz's legacy is carried on in Michigan public libraries in three very significant ways: 1. Her work with Senator Faust on legislation that ultimately became Public Act 89 of 1978, which serves as the basis for state aid to public libraries as well as the creation of the system of library cooperatives that remains in place today. 2. The Frances H. Pletz Award for Excellence in Service to Youth. The award, named for Mrs. Pletz because of her exemplary library service to teens in our state, was established in 1978 by the Young Adult Division of the Michigan Library Association. It is given annually to a Michigan library staff person who has made an outstanding contribution to the field of library service to youth, ages 0-18, throughout their career. 3. Mrs. Pletz's son James (Jim), current Executive Director of The Library Network (TLN).

Jazz program “A Great Day in Harlem” with jazz expert Stu Johnson on January 14 at the Warren Civic Center Library
by fabak＠libcoop.net 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

Hello, One summer day in 1958 a photographer took a picture of dozens of America’s jazz legends all gathered in one place. This famous photograph became known as “A Great Day in Harlem.” Stu Johnson, jazz expert and a member of the Michigan Jazz Record Collectors, will be with us on Tuesday, January 14 at 6:00 to discuss this famous Esquire magazine photograph. He will tell us the back story and play some of the great music of these artists. I am attaching our flyer for this event in case you would like to print some for your patrons. All are welcome! If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you. Kathy Faba Branch Librarian Warren Public Library - Civic Center Branch
