I’ll second the rec. We had Barb last week, and while the crowd was “intimate,” Barb presented an interesting program, well-worth the minimal expense.

Hello listserv!
We welcomed Barb on Saturday for her Discovering Michigan program and it was fabulous. I learned so many neat things that I didn't know about various parts of our state. She is well worth the cost (free!) but requests mileage and the chance to sell her books (which are fascinating and everyone should keep them in their car) after the presentation. Please contact me if you have any questions, but I do highly recommend bringing her to your library. Have a lovely day!
Michelle :)

Subject: [Michlib-l] Guest Speaker for Your Library
Hello Everyone,
I want to recommend Barbara VanderMolen as a guest speaker for your library. Barb has written Discovering Michigan County by County: Your A-Z Guide to Each of the 83 Counties in the Great Lakes State. She is an enthusiastic speaker with a wealth of knowledge about our state. Barb has been very well received at many libraries. She offers her services for free(!), only expecting to be reimbursed for mileage (.50 per mile) and to be able to sell her books at the end of her program. For more information, please go to http://discovermichigancountybycounty.com/
