We have an exciting program at 7 p.m. tomorrow evening by Michigan Notable Author and University of Michigan Professor Sally Howell. She will speak about the history of Islam in Detroit, a city that is home to several of the nation's oldest, most diverse Muslim communities. Her book, Old Islam in Detroit : Rediscovering the Muslim American Past documents the culture wars and doctrinal debates that ensued as these populations confronted Muslim newcomers who did not understand their manner of worship or the American identities they had created. Registration is required. I have attached a poster with the details -- please share with your patrons. Thank you! Constance L. Doherty | Head, Adult Information Services Troy Public Library |510 W. Big Beaver, Troy, MI 48084 | Office: 248 . 619.7591 | troypl.org
Hello All, Ruti, thanks for sharing your link and no doubt these guides could be very useful. Might I humbly suggest that each public library consider linking to their local hospital(s) which often have health information materials available on their website, as well as information for the local public on the hospital services and physicians. For instance, Botsford Hospital serves Livonia, Southfield, Western Detroit, Novi, West Bloomfield, and other surrounding areas. Website: http://www.botsford.org Health Information: http://www.botsford.org/health_information/ Thank you for your consideration.
