The Clarke Historical Library Presents Steve Jessmore, Award-winning Photographer
by Whitledge, Bryan R 03 Apr '22

03 Apr '22

On Tuesday, April 5, at 7:00 pm EDT, the Clarke Historical Library at Central Michigan University will host award-winning photograph Steve Jessmore. A CMU alum and former Central Michigan University Photographer, he will speak about his incredible career transformation. For nearly four decades, Jessmore worked in journalism and as a photographer for colleges and universities across Michigan. When the 2020 COVID-19 shutdown limited opportunities to photograph people in action, he turned his attention to non-human life. The result: within a year, Jessmore's photographs won top prize (pictured below) and honorable mention in the professional category of the prestigious Audubon Photography Awards. View a selection of his photographs<https://www.stevejessmore.com/images> on his website.

Mystery title solved
by Sonja Downey 01 Apr '22

01 Apr '22

Dear Mystery solvers, Wow, I am amazed, the mystery book title has already been found. It is "Unwritten" by Charles Martin. Thanks to Shira from Saline Library. Jessica from T.A. Cutler Memorial Library had the great suggestion to go right to the source and contact the author via facebook. Sometimes it is hard to see the forest for the trees (lol). I appreciate the great help and the patron is super excited. Thank you so much for helping me providing amazing customer service. With the best wishes for a wonderful weekend, Sonja
