Hello Michlib-L, We have some wonderful virtual events coming up next week and we'd like to invite you to join and/or share! Monday, October 5 at 7pm. What you need to know about Journalism. Please join LTPL as we host Mr. Peter Bhatia, Editor & Vice President of the Detroit Free Press and Michigan Regional Editor for the USA Today Network, online through Zoom.
