planetarium show about JWST in Dearborn next Wednesday
by Jennifer Dye 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Not directly library-related, but good news for people interested in astronomy in SE Michigan. The recently-appointed director at the Hammond Planetarium at Henry Ford College has announced a grand reopening show next Wednesday, titled “The Wonderful Webb: A Tour of the James Webb Space Telescope and Its First Images” He got so much interest after he first announced it that he has expanded to two shows that evening, with registration on Eventbrite. He suggests arriving early, as no one will be let in once the doors are closed (common for planetarium shows). https://www.eventbrite.com/e/388194679737 (7:00 PM show) https://www.eventbrite.com/e/388193817157 (8:30 PM show) As he is also the organizer of the Farmington Community Stargazers, he announced that they will have their first star party since early 2020 on September 6. Let me know if you want information on that. Jennifer Jennifer Dye Assistant Manager Detroit Public Library jdye(a)detroitpubliclibrary.org Knapp Branch 1330 Conant Detroit, Michigan 48212

NDL to host Author Eugene Milhizer on Tuesday, July 26 at 7 PM - Please join us!
by Katie Rothley 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Good afternoon everyone! Please consider sharing, and/or joining us at, this upcoming Northville District Library event! Registration to attend is available on NDL's website here: [ https://bit.ly/MilhizerNDL | https://bit.ly/MilhizerNDL ] . And here is the link to the Facebook event on our page: [ https://bit.ly/NDLAnatomyofaMurder | https://bit.ly/NDLAnatomyofaMurder. ] NDL to host Law Professor, Dean and Author Eugene Milhizer Northville, MI: Maybe you are familiar with the media coverage and subsequent book and movie release based on one of the most famous criminal trials of the 20 th Century: the 1952 Upper Peninsula murder involving an Army Lieutenant (Coleman Peterson), his wife (Charlotte Peterson) and an ex-cop turned bar owner (Mike Chenoweth), in Marquette, Michigan. Temporary insanity was the defense’s argument and the jury acquitted the accused Lieutenant, who was admitted to the state asylum for just under a month before he was released. The defense attorney and Michigan local, John Voelker, subsequently published an account of the murder trial in 1957, which quickly sold 300,000 copies, fascinating readers enough that it was optioned for, and made into, a film by Otto Preminger. James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara starred, and Duke Ellington produced the score, in this 1959 drama in which Stewart won the Volpi Cup Award, Faro Island Film Festival Award, and more, for Best Actor. It was proclaimed as Preminger’s most popular film and went on to be nominated numerous times for various awards, winning half! Enter Eugene Milhizer: Author, Law Professor and former Army Judge Advocate. Milhizer explores many ethical and legal issues that Voelker discretely raised in his novel and which were then featured in the film. Some of these include the impact of the community on the trial and verdict, the proper role of a jury, and to what capacity our criminal justice system is able to achieve real justice when it comes to our long-established legal precedents and rules of law. Eugene Milhizer will present on the legal intricacies in Voelker’s account of this trial at the Northville District Library (NDL) on Tuesday, July 26 at 7 PM in the Carlo Meeting Room. Registration is required on NDL’s website at: [ https://bit.ly/MilhizerNDL | https://bit.ly/MilhizerNDL ] . Books will be available for purchase and signing. Milhizer’s career is a legal one; he is an alumnus of the Judge Advocate, University of Michigan, and Ave Maria School of Law, and participated in numerous appeals and tried criminal cases as an Army Judge Advocate. He then taught at the Judge Advocate General’s School at the University of Virginia and the Ave Maria School of Law. He is now the President and Dean at the Ave Maria School of Law. Milhizer has also been published in several prestigious law journals and presented at law schools, and now libraries, across the country. For more information, please visit Northville District Library’s website at: northvillelibrary.org; or telephone the Library at 248-349-3020. We are also on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Spotify, Flickr, YouTube, and TikTok. Image of the cover of Eugene R.

Suggestions Wanted: Audio Recasing
by Ted Gregory 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Hi, everybody, We're looking at recasing some Great Courses audio lectures and are trying to find a solution other than a standard audiobook case. The current packaging has six discs in a cardboard folder and the accompanying booklet, both inside a plastic case about 9x5.5x1 inches. The ideal solution would be either an exact replacement, or an audiobook-style case of the same dimensions. Any suggestions for either sources or other ideas would be appreciated. Thank you, -- Ted Gregory Mackinaw Area Public Library mackinaw1(a)gmail.com Find us online at http://www.mackinawareapl.michlibrary.org/ <http://mackinawareapubliclibrary.org/> and on Facebook! 528 W.

Presenter on Meeting the Needs of the Community
by Susan Bach 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Good Morning, I'm searching for someone to do a Trustee Retreat presentation on Meeting the Needs of the Community. This would be on the morning of Saturday, October 29. We're thinking of an hour long presentation. Last year I made a similar request and someone suggested Larry Neal, who spoke on the Future of Libraries. It was a fantastic presentation, so I'm trying my luck once again! Thank you so much for your help - this group is invaluable. Best, Susan Bach Library Director Tecumseh District Library 215 North Ottawa Street Tecumseh, MI 49286-1564 517-423-2238

Sharing Digital Movie Codes
by Anna Merritt 21 Jul '22

21 Jul '22

Hello, This fall we are starting a Film Club at our library. Like a book club, but the patron watches the movie before the discussion. Since there are several services for video stream, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for services where the library could purchase a digital copy and share it with those attending. I am not sure where this lays on the legal spectrum. If we have a SWANK license, does this count towards digital content? Any advice or suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanks! Anna Merritt Assistant Director Richland Community Library 8951 Park Street Richland, MI 49083 (269) 629-9085 https://www.richlandlibrary.org/ -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A.
