Hello Everyone!

To any of you librarians out there looking for programing, I would like to highly recommend Charlie Bird and his program "The French History of Detroit 1701-1832".

I have twice set up programs with Charlie at the Southfield Public Library, and both times, the presentation and Charlie's presence were great. Charlie is very friendly, and very professional, he is easy to work with, is very knowledgeable, is great with patrons and gives a great presentation. Charlie programs at SPL were both in person, but we have also live-streamed his discussion over Zoom. 

Both programs were also well attended, with the December program drawing around 30 patrons, and the March program drawing nearly 40. 

Here are the links to our past programming with Charlie at SPL:

Thanks!
