Good afternoon Michigan libraries! I'd like to bring your attention to a wonderful organization, as an option for enriching programming for your institution and/or communities. The Huron-Clinton Metroparks system offers fantastic educational events and programs for the public on a variety of topics. They have been to multiple different Detroit Public Library locations in the past for programs such as Introduction to Rain Gardens, Master Rain Gardener Series, and more. The experience and public reception have been wonderful, and due to their funding model, these programs and events are free to public libraries! The staff we've worked with have been extremely professional, knowledgeable, kind, and engaging with our library patrons. I have included a PDF to this email of the programs that they offer, as well as the contact information below for the staff member that I have worked with. Thank you everyone, and have a great weekend! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Stephanie Kozak, CIG (she/her) | Community Outreach Interpreter – Environmental Science stephanie.kozak@metroparks.com Desk: 810.227.2757 x6660 | Cell: 810.819.7799 Huron-Clinton Metroparks 13000 High Ridge Drive, Brighton, MI, 48114 metroparks.com Jessica Bostian Acting Manager Patent and Trademark Resource Center Representative Detroit Public Library Social Science, Education & Religion Business, Science & Technology 5201 Woodward Ave. Detroit, MI 48202 jbostian@detroitpubliclibrary.org 313-481-1403
