Staff Recognition
by Syntha Green 06 Apr '22

06 Apr '22

Hi, If you have some sort of process for you to recognize when a staff member goes above and beyond, could you please share that with me? What you do, does the person receive anything? For instance if you saw a coworker handle a difficult situation with grace, or someone went out of their way to help you out with something. Do you fill out a form and have a wall for this or what? Many thanks, Syntha -- Syntha Green She, her Youth Services Librarian Baldwin Public Library 300 W.

Program Recommendation - Michigan Mysteries
by Danielle Hansard 05 Apr '22

05 Apr '22

Hi all, I'd like to share the contact information for Ross Richardson, an author and shipwreck hunter that we've had twice now, who I highly recommend. Ross has done two programs for us: Michigan Mysteries and Seeking the LORD, the Search for the JARVIS LORD Shipwreck. He's willing to come in person or over Zoom, and we got great patron feedback about the content of his presentations and engagement with the audience. He's willing to travel and charges for mileage, but the price is worth it in my opinion. His website is https://michiganmysteries.com/ and his email is nmiwrecks(a)gmail.com<mailto:nmiwrecks@gmail.com>. Best, Danielle ---------------------------------------------------------- Danielle Hansard Reference Librarian William P. Faust Public Library of Westland 6123 Central City Pkwy.

Hello, I am delighted to announce that the Book & Author Society's next event is an interview with New York Times Best Selling Author JANE GREEN! Monday, April 11, at 7 pm. Register at www.bookandauthor.org. Jane's new book *Sister Stardust* is a fictionalized account of Talitha Getty, wife of billionaire Paul Getty, who died tragically at the age of 30. She's the woman in this picture: [image: image.png] The book depicts the Swinging 60s, the British invasion, and a great look at the "hippie" culture of the time. It's a great read! The event is virtual, FREE and open to the public. You can register on the Book & Author website at www.bookandauthor.org. If you can't attend but want to view the program, please register and we will send you a link so you can view it later.
