Hello: I just spoke to Mr. Williams about doing a presentation for our staff meeting here at the Troy Public Library in September. I would be interested in hearing impressions as well.

He is great. We have had him at the UM Library for a staff retreat/workshop, and on June 17 he will be at the Ann Arbor Book Festival for the second time, at our Ypsilanti District Library downtown branch; he entertains adults and children alike, depending on what you want. I highly recommend him.

I can recommend him. We have had him preform here in Coopersville and he is terrific. He offers something for the entire family.

We've had La'Ron several times at our library and hope to have him again. He is the best! He's a real natural storyteller and holds the audience's attention very well. I very highly recommend him. Colleen On Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 10:00 AM, Library Director < croton.twp.lib.director@gmail.com> wrote:
