Michigan Notable Author Tonight: Anne-Marie Oomen
by Kristin Madaj 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

Hi all, The Bay County Library System will be hosting Michigan Notable Author Anne-Marie Oomen tonight (7:00 pm) at the Alice & Jack Wirt Library in Bay City for a book discussion and Q & A! Anne-Marie Oomen’s 2022 memoir, As Long As I Know You: The Mom Book, about her difficult but ultimately rewarding relationship with her mother, won a Michigan Notable Book Award. Her readings spring from a range of lively sources including intergenerational challenges (Mother-daughter conflict?), travel adventures (You lost your passport!), and how she discovered poetry (involving a 1969 Camaro). Working in multiple genres, Oomen explores the nature of relationships, the natural world, and personal transformation. The Michigan Notable Book program is sponsored in part by the Library of Michigan Foundation, Michigan Center for the Book, and Michigan Humanities. You can register here: https://www.baycountylibrary.org/event/evening-anne-marie-oomen Thank you!

Michigan's Most Dangerous Women Program
by Marissa Lasoff-Santos 05 Apr '23

05 Apr '23

Hi all, True crime author Tobin T. Buhk presented on Michigan's Most Dangerous Women. It was very fascinating and we will definitely have him back in the future. Here is the program description: Take a peek behind the walls of the old Detroit House of Correction, the only Michigan prison to house female inmates serving long-term sentences, and meet some of the most dangerous women in Michigan history: a serial poisoner who killed over a dozen because she wanted to don her black dress and attend the funerals; a woman who drowned her unwanted children, one by one, in a nearby river; a wife who used an ax to sever her marriage; and a con artist known as "Queen of the Underworld." True crime author Tobin T. Buhk will introduce the audience to these and many other morbidly intriguing characters in "Michigan's Most Dangerous Women." You can find out more about Buhk and his other programs on his website, www.tobinbuhk.com<http://www.tobinbuhk.com>. His email address is tobin(a)tobinbuhk.com<mailto:tobin@tobinbuhk.com>. -- Marissa Lasoff-Santos (she/her) Adult Services Librarian Westland Public Library Phone: (734) 326-6123
