Dear Librarian, The non-profit Historical Society of Michigan (HSM), which publishes Michigan History magazine, would like to reduce our inventory of back issues. Rather than recycling older inventory, we would like to make them available free to Michigan libraries that may be able to help us put these copies in interested hands at no cost. The history in our magazine is timeless - and all issues we are looking at liquidating are less than ten years old. While inventory lasts, we would like to offer any library a free case of Michigan History. The only thing we ask is that the issues be put in an area of the library where they can be picked up free by patrons (they normally sell for $6.95). HSM staff would pick the issue being shipped. Since 1917, Michigan History magazine has shared the Great Lakes State's diverse history through feature articles and special sections. A popular history magazine geared toward professionals and enthusiasts alike, Michigan History offers a wide variety of subject matter, time frames, and perspectives while inspiring, educating, and entertaining its readers. Every issue explores the state's most fascinating historical facets and celebrates the history and heritage of all Michigan's peoples. If you are interested in getting a free case of a back issue for free distribution to your patrons please email James Hall at hsm@hsmichigan.org. We are hopeful that these issues can find people who may be interested in our state's history rather than destroying them. Thank you. Larry J. Wagenaar Larry J.
