Hello all, We just hosted a wonderful program, "Ladies of the Lights", with author Dianna Stampfler from Promote Michigan to celebrate Women's History Month! We arranged the program to coincide with the library's Nonfiction Book Club meeting - they read her book, "Michigan's Haunted Lighthouses" in the previous month. The book left out enough details that we had plenty to learn about the brave women who worked as lighthouse keepers in Michigan's historic lighthouses all across the state. She also shared some interesting stories from when she met the lighthouse keepers themselves, their relatives, and descendants - with enough humor and intrigue to keep the audience engaged. Her program costs $250 with additional costs for mileage; I would definitely say she is worth the cost. She is a true professional; we had a small group for the program and she presented with enthusiasm as if we had 100 people in our audience. You can contact her at dianna@promotemichigan.com. or check out her website here <https://promotemichigan.com/about-dianna> for more details. Her home base is in Gaylord, Michigan. Best, Kelsey Rutkowski *--------------------------------------* *Library Director* *Indian River Area Library* 3546 S Straits Hwy PO Box 160 Indian River, MI 49749 (231) 238-8581 indianriverlibrary.org
