Forensic Artist Program
by Stephen Jackman 08 Apr '22

08 Apr '22

Hello all, Last night we hosted Lt. Sarah Krebs of Michigan State Police to talk about her 20-year career as a forensic artist. The program was well-attended: we had 50 people in a room that can seat up to 75! Lt. Krebs was everything you want in a presenter: informative, personable, and entertaining. Afterward multiple patrons came up to me to say thank you for the program. Since she works for the state she cannot accept monetary compensation for her time and efforts, but she's happy to do it for free. You can reach her at this email address: [ KrebsS(a)michigan.gov ]( mailto:KrebsS@michigan.gov ) Let me know if you have any questions!

Library Outreach for Kids - Fun Idea suggestions?
by Lorry Traver 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

Hi all, I am having a few outreach events over the summer and wanted to know if there were any super clever or creative, or maybe even simple but still fun, activities you like to do at outreach events? I will have library card applications along with newsletters and flyers, but aside from that I wanted to provide a short experience for the kids, whether it be yard games, rubber ducks in a pool with a prize awarded, etc. Thank you - my brain is already mush and summer reading hasn't even started yet. -- "You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child." - Dr. Seuss *Lorry Traver* Youth Services Coordinator Ruth Hughes Memorial District Library 211 N.

Juvenile Nonfiction - American History
by Justine Peterson 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

Hello all! We're doing some spring cleaning in the form of weeding--especially our Non-fiction sections. At the moment, I've pulled PILES of outdated American History books, all from the late 1950s -1960s that were added into our collection in 2017 through donation or a (very) old book sale. I'm not sure where to start, but I know we need American History. Pocahontas, Paul Revere, anything about the Revolutionary or Civil Wars--really anything! What items in your Juvenile Nonfic collection do you highly recommend? (Honestly, even if it's not about America, I'd love to hear what other libraries find valuable to their nonfic collections!) Thanks! *Justine Peterson* (She/her) Library Director Seville Township Library Riverdale, MI 48877 P: 989.833.7776 seville.michlibrary.org

Presenter Recommendation
by Amy Sturgeon 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

Hi All, We had presenters here on Monday for our monthly lunch time program. They were fantastic and our patrons, of whom we had the most register in the past 6 months, were raving about them! Tim Ellis and Brad Blair are paranormal investigators and founders of the Upper Peninsula Paranormal Research Society. They also wrote two books. The first being Yoopernatural Haunts which is about the beginning of their research society and some of their investigations of locations in the UP. Their new book which is what the presentation was about, Great Lakes Monsters and Mysteries, explores the local lore and sightings of creatures and things that go bump in the night. Definitely a chilling presentation. They travelled from the Soo to our library and back all in one day. They do charge for travel and per man for the presentation but it was worth every penny. They are very professional, down to earth and engaging. You can contact them at tim(a)radioeagle.com<mailto:tim@radioeagle.com> I hope this helps someone find their next presenter! Have a great day!
