[Library of Michigan logo] Special Collections Update - October 8, 2022 New Furniture, 2022 Michigan History Conference recap, and 1879 Harper's Weekly feature [LM Interior]New Furniture at the Library of Michigan Visitors to the Library of Michigan will discover a few new changes within the Library's facility in Lansing. Over the last few weeks new tables and chairs have been installed in the atrium as well as throughout other floors in the library. The new atrium tables all come equipped with hideaway power modules that offer both electrical outlets and USB charging options - necessary resources for the modern-day researcher! Additionally, visitors will still see the iconic blue lamps that have always been a part of the Library's atrium since the Michigan Library and Historical Center was constructed. The Library of Michigan is grateful for the work of the DTMB Facilities staff<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> in making this project happen. [New Furniture] New tables and chairs at the Library of Michigan ________________________________ Library of Michigan at the 2022 Michigan History Conference Several staff from the Library of Michigan attended the 2022 Michigan History Conference<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> on September 24, 2022 at Albion College. This was the first in-person conference by the Historical Society of Michigan since 2019 and it was great connecting with attendees face-to-face. Digitization Librarian Jennifer Sasota, Reference Librarian Matt Pacer, and Community Engagement Librarian Adam Oster all spent time meeting with fellow Michigan history researchers and showcasing the services of the Library of Michigan at the Library's exhibit table. Oster also presented 2 sessions during the conference: * Struggling to Survive: Michigan County Poor Farms * Workshop: Using Digital Resources at the Library of Michigan State Librarian Randy Riley<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> was also on hand to honor 2021 Michigan Author Award<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> recipient Larry Massie during the conference's morning activities. Limitations due to COVID had prevented the Library of Michigan from honoring Massie when the award was initially announced at the beginning of the year. The Library is grateful to the Historical Society of Michigan<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> for the opportunity to celebrate Massie at this year's conference as well as for putting on a top-notch event.

The illustrations included the exterior of the building as well as many interior rooms - most importantly, an image of the State Library! Prior to this point, the State Library had spent several years (1871-1879) on the third floor of the old State Block building throughout the construction of the new capitol building. The space in the Capitol served as the library's primary home until the bulk of the collection was transferred in 1922 to the State Office Building (now called the Elliott-Larsen Building) at the corner of South Walnut and Kalamazoo Streets. Law Library staff and collections remained at the Capitol until 1969. Interested in learning more about the Library of Michigan from this time period? Be sure to stop by the Library and see "The Transformative Harriet Tenney" exhibit currently on display featuring former State Librarian Harriet Tenney.

Wall Street Journal
by Hudson CDL Director 07 Oct '22

07 Oct '22

Alas, the Hudson Library is cancelling their subscription to the Wall Street Journal. $539.88 is not a justifiable price for the amount of patrons we have reading it. It will be sorely missed by those who do. In talking with a WSJ customer service person today, the $233.94 amount that was sent to me via soliciting mail is only available as a gift subscription from someone who already has a subscription. Hmmm, I then asked if someone would be allowed to gift that to us....and the answer surprisingly was yes. So does any one out there subscribe to the WSJ that would be willing to "gift" us a subscription....we would be able to pay the gifting price. Please reply off list. Thanks much!
