Irene Miller, Holocaust survivor and author
by McFadden-Keesling, Allison C 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Hello! Author and Holocaust survivor, Irene Miller has spoken at Oakland Community College (OCC) both in person and via Zoom. She is an inspiring and engaging speaker. Irene is speaking again at OCC via Zoom on Wednesday March 23, 2022 from noon - 1pm. Free and open the public, if interested, please register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/holocaust-survivor-irene-miller-tickets-256080… Irene carefully walks listeners through her family's journey during the Holocaust. They attempt to escape Poland but end up in the frozen landscape called "No Man's Land." We travel with her (and her parents and sister) as the young Irene survives a Siberian labor camp, faces starvation in Uzbekistan, and ultimately lives in orphanages. It's a powerful and compelling story of struggle and loss but ultimately survival and courage. Despite all her hardships, Irene has a positive and loving spirit that will not be dampened. I believe all in attendance at Irene Miller's speeches are better for having heard her story. Irene's memoir, "Into No Man's Land," is as moving and poignant as her speeches.

Library Director searches
by Nannette Miller 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Hello Library Land! I recently announced my retirement from the Elk Rapids District Library (😁) and the board is asking my advice about a director search. I've never been on this end of one, so I'm asking you all for help. Given the unique challenges in Elk Rapids, would it be better to hire a professional search firm even though we are only a Class II library? How many of you have done so, who did you work with, and how much did it cost? Did you add community members to your search committee? Thank you so much for your collective wisdom over the years. I will miss my tribe of librarians! Nannette Miller -- Nannette Miller | Director Elk Rapids District Library 231.264.9979 | erlib.director(a)gmail.com | elkrapidslibrary.org
