Book ABOUT Nick Bruel
by Tee Versele 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hello everyone! A patron recommended a book purchase to me today, she couldn't recall the title but it was a book about Nick Bruel (author of the Bad Kitty series) and she didn't know the title, although she thought it was something like "Nick Bruel Himself"; however, that did not turn up anything on Google, Goodreads, or Amazon for me. She said it was an autobiography or memoir that focused on his experiences with cats that led to him writing Bad Kitty, but it may have been written by someone else. My theory is that she perhaps read a blog post or saw a video on this subject and misremembered it as a book, but if anyone out there knows what she's referring to please let me know so we can purchase it! TIA! Warmest Regards, Tee Versele Youth Services Librarian Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Rd. Romulus, MI 48174 (734) 942-7589 ext. 14519 Serving Romulus and Huron Township

question on series
by Denise Bearre 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hello all, I have a patron looking for a series, and I am stumped. The main character is a divorced female postmistress. She likes horses and sometimes goes on fox hunts. The series is set in Virginia or the Carolinas. And it was read in the early 2000"s. Any ideas?

An Evening with Angeline Boulley in Bay City (Tuesday, May 19)
by Mary Ruthko 16 May '22

16 May '22

#1 Bestselling Author Angeline Boulley to Appear at The State Theatre Bay City on May 17, 2022 BAY CITY, MI--The Friends of the Bay County Libraries invite you to "An Evening with Angeline Boulley" at The State Theatre in Downtown Bay City (913 Washington Ave., Bay City, MI 48708) on Tuesday, May 17 at 7:00 pm. Boulley will give an entertaining author talk followed by audience Q&A and a book signing. Admission is general and completely FREE! Concessions and copies of Firekeeper’s Daughter will be available for purchase at the event. Angeline Boulley, an enrolled member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, is a storyteller who writes about her Ojibwe community in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. She is a former Director of the Office of Indian Education at the U.S. Department of Education. Angeline lives in southwest Michigan, but her home will always be on Sugar Island. Firekeeper’s Daughter is her debut novel, and was an instant #1 NYT Bestseller. It also won the Walter Dean Myers Award for Outstanding Children’s Literature (Teen category) in 2022 and is a popular selection for both YA and adult book clubs. The novel has gained national popularity so quickly that it is slated to become a Netflix series by Higher Ground, a production company owned by President Barack and Michelle Obama. In this riveting thriller, a biracial, unenrolled tribal member and the product of a scandal, Daunis Fontaine, has never quite fit in—both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. When her family is struck by tragedy, Daunis puts her dreams on hold to care for her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother’s hockey team. After Daunis witnesses a shocking murder that thrusts her into a criminal investigation, she agrees to go undercover. But the deceptions—and deaths—keep piling up, and soon the threat strikes too close to home. How far will she go to protect her community if it means tearing apart the only world she’s ever known?

Karen Dybis Program
by Stephen Jackman 15 May '22

15 May '22

Hello all, Today we hosted reporter and author Karen Dybis on her book Secret Detroit. We hosted Karen 2.5 years ago for her book The Witch of Delray as well and to this day it's been my best attended and best received program. She's engaging, charismatic, and completely knowledgeable on her topics. This is the first Sunday adult program I've hosted at Milford (because it worked better with her schedule) and we had 25 people, which I thought was great for a sunny weekend afternoon. I can't recommend her enough! She has four books all having to do with local Detroit history. You can learn more about her book and reach her at this link: https://www.karendybis.com/contact-1 Please feel free to reply with any questions.

Farmington Community Library virtual events
by Emanuela DeCenso 15 May '22

15 May '22

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the beautiful weather. Farmington Community Library has two upcoming events, that might be of interest for you. May 17 at 7 pm. via Zoom we are hosting Joan Glass' "Night swim". This is a book of poems, that our author dedicated to her beloved sister and nephew, who were victims of suicide. Joan Glass originally from Michigan, will hold this one-hour free workshop of poetry to anyone who is willing to hear her story. https://farmlib.evanced.info/signup/EventDetails?EventId=32879&Lib=ALL&back… May 26, we are honored to be hosting our Michigan Notable Author, Paula Yoo at 7 pm. via Zoom. In her book "From a whisper to rallying cry; the killing of Vincent Chin and the trial that galvanized the Asian-American movement", Paula Yoo has crafted a searing examination of the killing and the trial and verdicts that followed. When Ebens and Nitz pled guilty to manslaughter and received only a $3,000 fine and three years’ probation, the lenient sentence sparked outrage. The protests that followed led to a federal civil rights trial—the first involving a crime against an Asian American—and galvanized what came to be known as the Asian American movement. https://farmlib.evanced.info/signup/EventDetails?EventId=33049&Lib=ALL&back… I hope that you share these events with your patrons. Thank you, Emma Emanuela DeCenso Adult Services Librarian II Farmington Community Library [cid:fbf5be81-7305-4a34-b1e6-b0e1ea8a270a] emanuela.decenso(a)farmlib.org 248-473-3117 "It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know the sense of wonder and humility."
