Hi everyone, Library staff and patrons are invited to join us at 7:00pm on Wednesday, June 15 for a Juneteenth celebration! This program is being offered in hybrid format, both in-person <https://live-plymouth.pantheonsite.io/event/curators-our-art-juneteenth-cel…> and virtually <https://live-plymouth.pantheonsite.io/event/curators-our-art-juneteenth-cel…>. (Please RSVP using those links.) *Curators of our Art: A Juneteenth Celebration* Presented by Dr. Micala Evans and Dr. Imelda Hunt, Eastern Michigan University Department of Africology and African American Studies This artistic and historical presentation will include an introduction of Juneteenth, and provide a sobering description of the shackles and obstacles that bounded people as property and upheld a system of racism and negative stereotypes. After that sobering historical storytelling of the holiday's history, our presentation transitions into stories of resilience among Africans who endured the hardship of slavery and how they were able to use the tragedy to curate art that dispelled lies, myths, and stereotypes of African culture.

Hi everyone, I wanted to recommend Mariya Fogarasi as a fantastic program presenter! Her website details all of the talks she can give: http://mariyatravels.net. They are world travel talks filled with anecdotes, culture, food, festivals, and tourist destinations. We have hosted those on Korea, Jordan, and Berlin so far, and have Bulgaria scheduled for September. Mariya is super easy to work with and willing to do in-person, virtual, or hybrid formats. Her presentation style is very natural, not scripted, and patrons are always engaged. Her talks are $100 for about 1.5 hours. Please contact her through her website.
