by Mick Howey 17 May '22

17 May '22

Hello Michlib-I, Please join us at 7:00 PM on Monday, May 23, 2022 for the Ladies of the Lights presentation. Event description is below: They were women before their time, taking on the romantic, yet dangerous and physically demanding job of tending to the beacons that protected the shoreline. In all, some 40 women have been identified who excelled in this profession over the years — dating back as early as the 1840s and as recent as present day. Join author Dianna Stampler for the remarkable stories of the ladies of the lights. Nearly 70 images of keepers, their families and their lights make up this presentation. The program includes readings from newspapers and autobiographies, as well as handouts including the list of featured ladies and additional reading references for attendees. Dianna is the author of three books about Michigan’s lighthouses, including her latest release Death & Lighthouses of the Great Lakes: A History of Misfortune and Murder. Note: This is a virtual event. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Tap https://tinyurl.com/2p8c3pap to register. The Zoom link will be emailed the afternoon of the event. Hope to see you there! Mick Howey Adult Services Librarian Baldwin Public Library 248.554.4649

Directory updates reminder
by Hamlin, Joseph (MDE) 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hello Folks, Just a quick ask, if you need an update on your library's directory listing, please include the name of your library and contact information for the person requesting the change on the Directory Update Form<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/panel-update-directory…>. I see that currently on the form it reads optional after every field, and I will have that corrected. I currently have two requests for an hours adjustment and I cannot determine who needs these changes. Thank you, Joe Joseph Hamlin Library Data Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo St. P.O.

Reader's advisory ask: Middle grade books about emotional impairment
by Mary Grahame Hunter 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hi all, I'm trying to do some reader's advisory for a parent who is looking for middle grade or younger books about a child with emotional impairment. Emotional impairment is term used in special education that is characterized by "an inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors; an inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers; inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances; a general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression; or a tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems." Another helpful keyword might be alexithymia, the inability to identify and describe emotions experienced by oneself. The parent has made it clear that she is not looking for books about autistic characters or characters with ADHD, or other books where the impairment is a symptom of a condition (such as PTSD) instead of the condition itself. This parent hasn't been able to find much of anything on her own, and unfortunately I'm not having much luck either. If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful to hear them. Best, Mary Grahame -- Mary Grahame Hunter Youth Services Librarian Ferndale Area District Library marygrahame(a)fadl.org

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
