Program Recommendation - Larry Martin
by Jennifer Noble 14 Jun '22

14 Jun '22

Hi all, I wanted to add my voice to the Larry Martin Recommendation Club! We hosted him here in Adrian last night and had pretty good turnout and a highly engaged audience. Our patrons loved looking through all of his memorabilia beforehand, and most of them said "Have him come back!" on their way out the door. (I plan to listen to those patrons.) Larry can be reached at batt.chief(a)yahoo.com . If you're interested in a virtual program, I believe he is open to presenting over Zoom, too. Happy to answer any other questions off-list! Cheers, Jen -- Jennifer Noble (she/her/hers) - (Why do I list these?) <https://www.mypronouns.org/she-her> Adult & Teen Services Librarian Adrian District Library 143 E. Maumee St. Adrian, MI 49221 jnoble(a)adrian.lib.mi.us (517) 265-2265
