American Heritage up for grabs.
by Kristina Knezic 14 Apr '23

14 Apr '23

Hello All, I have a patron who is looking to donate his collection of American Heritage from its halcyon years: vols. 6 (1954) through 30 (1979), except for a few issues—accompanied by the most useful index to vols. 6 through 34. It takes up just over six feet of shelf space. Unfortunately, we do not have the space for the collection, but if you do and would like it, please let me know. Thank you, Kristina Kristina Knezic, Director Berrien Springs Community Library 215 W. Union St. Berrien Springs, MI 49103 269.471.7074 www.bsclibrary.org

He was posthumously inducted by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2015. Schoenherr may be known best as the original illustrator of the dust jacket art of /Dune/, a 1965 science fiction novel by Frank Herbert that inaugurated a book series and media franchise. He had previously illustrated the serializations of the novel in /Analog/, an endeavor that secured him a 1965 Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist. Schoenherr was also very well known as a wildlife artist and children's book illustrator, with over forty books to his credit. Most of his black-and-white illustration work used the scratchboard technique, and he was long known as the only commercial artist who specialized in it. His paintings were often egg tempera, another unusual medium. Schoenherr also completed paintings for NASA. Schoenherr's knowledge of zoology was very useful in creating alien creatures. He was a member of the American Society of Mammalogists, the Society of Animal Artists, and the Society of Illustrators.** <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…>"Julian May’s children’s book /The Big Island: A Story of Isle Royale/ was originally published in 1968 but the timeless tale continues to educate and inspire young minds today. Isle Royale is considered one of the most remote National Parks and is located off the coast of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, in the waters of Lake Superior. The book tells the story of Isle Royale’s most popular four-legged creatures, the moose and the wolves. /The Big Island /is a classic read for any budding young nature enthusiast and explores the concept of a balanced ecosystem. With an effective blend of local history and a love of nature, Julian May writes about how the moose and wolves came to live on the island. She also tells about how people first came to the island and about the time period that Isle Royale became a National Park. The book delves into the park rangers’ various methods of intervention on behalf of the overcrowded and starving moose population. It also tells how the best solution was found when wolves arrived on the island naturally to establish a balanced environment. The Big Island provides readers of all ages some valuable insight into the predator-prey relationship of the moose and wolves of the island and their roles in the great circle of life. Stunningly realistic illustrations of moose, wolves, and other island wildlife cover the pages of this exceptional book". -- read the full review by Hannah Brinza <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…>, /U.P.

Free book for poetry month!
by Thomas Trahey 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Happy Poetry Month! We have several extra copies of *Shelter* by poet Margaret Hasse and artist Sharon DeMark <https://www.margarethasse.com/shelter.html>. I will send one to the first 24 libraries that say they are interested. While quarantined during covid, Hasse collaborated with her neighbor and colleague DeMark to create this book. One of them would send over a piece of work that would inspire the other's art. This collaboration explores the different meanings and types of shelter. [image: image.png] Here's an example: "Hug" from Shelter Margaret Hasse, poet, and Sharon DeMark, artist [image: image.png] To fit together is one branch in the language roots of “arm.” How regrettable that arms name hardware of war. The only right to bear arms safely is the caring capacity of our amazing appendages that comfort and caress, have and hold, cradle and rock, clasping each other close. -- Thomas Trahey Mason County District Library Head of Circulation 231-843-8465

by Jenny Kobiela-Mondor 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Join the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services as we gather over Zoom with librarians and library workers from all over Indiana and Michigan for another free Virtual Dialogue on Thursday, May 11, at 10:30am-noon Eastern (9:30-11am Central). We will share and learn from each other as we discuss big-picture thinking and its role in cultivating a growth mindset. MCLS's Virtual Dialogues aren't a webinar or a workshop; instead, these dialogues are opportunities for librarians and library workers of all levels and at all types of libraries to talk about issues that are important to them. We will spend time sharing our thoughts, ideas, and insights with other participants as we connect and engage around topics that impact libraries. Registration for the May dialogue and future dialogues is open now at https://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/virtual-dialogues-2023. Future dates for dialogues, all around a different component of cultivating a growth mindset in libraries, are July 11, September 14, and November 8. We hope you can join us and look forward to connecting with you!
