Tee Time at TADL!
by Heather Brady 13 Mar '23

13 Mar '23

Inspired by a Michlib post from another library about mini-golf, I wanted to share a few photos of our first-ever library par-tee. It was all DIY, right now to the putters - printed in-house! The nine course "chapters" included: - Very Hungry Caterpillar (Youth) - Where the Wild Things Are (East Bay Branch Library) - The Princess Bride (Processing/TBL) - Genres (Adult) - Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (Admin) - Technology (IT) - Geronimo Stilton (The Bradys for Kingsley Branch Library) - Wizard of Oz (Sight & Sound) - Board Games (Teen) It was really fun to see patrons experience the library in a new way, and it was also lovely that it was an all-ages event that encompassed our whole building.

Upcoming Virtual Event at BPL- In Search of the Amazons: Warrior Women of the Past
by Mick Howey 13 Mar '23

13 Mar '23

Please join us on Zoom at 3:00 PM on Saturday, March 18th, 2023 for In Search of the Amazons: Warrior Women of the Past. History is often dominated by the idea of Man the hunter and Woman the gatherer, but how true are these assumptions of gender in the past? Join archaeologist and swordswoman Ellen Green in looking at the evidence for ancient women who were as comfortable wielding a sword as a needle and thread. From Boudicca, who burned London to the ground to the shield maidens of the Vikings, the past is full of women who fought, yet their stories are rarely told. Pull back the curtain and explore the real world inspirations for Wonder Woman and the Amazons and see how modern archaeological investigation is bringing their stories back to light. This is a virtual event. Registration is required. Ellen Green is a PhD researcher at the University of Reading in England, specializing in human remains. Prior to her return to academia she was a field archaeologist in London for 5 years, and she has worked on sites from every period in the city's history. She developed a love of archaeology through many visits to Roman ruins and castles in the UK over many vacations, which inspired a fascination with the past. She is also a big fan of Indiana Jones. Tap here <https://www.baldwinlib.org/calendar/#/events/DZFD4guVzZ/instances/RFSTUSqS1…> to register. Hope to see you Saturday, Mick Howey, MLIS Adult Services Librarian II Baldwin Public Library 300 West Merrill Street Birmingham, MI 48009 (248) 554-4649
