Upcoming Virtual Program at BPL- Ladies of the Lights

Hello Michlib-I, Please join us at 7:00 PM on Monday, May 23, 2022 for the Ladies of the Lights presentation. Event description is below: They were women before their time, taking on the romantic, yet dangerous and physically demanding job of tending to the beacons that protected the shoreline. In all, some 40 women have been identified who excelled in this profession over the years — dating back as early as the 1840s and as recent as present day. Join author Dianna Stampler for the remarkable stories of the ladies of the lights. Nearly 70 images of keepers, their families and their lights make up this presentation. The program includes readings from newspapers and autobiographies, as well as handouts including the list of featured ladies and additional reading references for attendees. Dianna is the author of three books about Michigan’s lighthouses, including her latest release Death & Lighthouses of the Great Lakes: A History of Misfortune and Murder. Note: This is a virtual event. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Tap https://tinyurl.com/2p8c3pap to register. The Zoom link will be emailed the afternoon of the event. Hope to see you there! Mick Howey Adult Services Librarian Baldwin Public Library 248.554.4649
