Upcoming Event at BPL- Man's Best Friend: Dogs in the Ancient World
Hello Michlib-l, Please join us at 3:00 PM on Saturday, July 9, 2022 for the Man’s Best Friend: Dogs in the Ancient World event. Dogs were the first animal humans domesticated, and have held a special place in our societies ever since. Acting as guards, guides to the underworld, companions and hunters, they have played many parts throughout history. Join archaeologist Ellen Green in her return to BPL for an exploration of what roles dogs had in the ancient world and how our canine friends have been there for us for 29,000 years. Ellen Green is a PhD researcher at the University of Reading in England, specializing in human remains. Prior to her return to academia she was a field archaeologist in London for 5 years, and she has worked on sites from every period in the city's history. She developed a love of archaeology through many visits to Roman ruins and castles in the UK over many vacations, which inspired a fascination with the past. She is also a big fan of Indiana Jones. Tap https://tinyurl.com/mpab6f5d to register. This is a virtual event. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Hope to see you there! Mick Howey, MLIS Adult Services Librarian Baldwin Public Library 300 West Merrill Street Birmingham, MI 48009 (248) 554-4649
This sounds really interesting. Is it possible to somehow work as a group to book a series of these virtual events over the course of a year? Each library might take a turn to host, set the Zoom, police the event, pay any presenter fees, etc., but make the link and the info available to all to promote to their communities? Or is that just not workable? I'd have loved to add this one to our calendar-- but I have to do so at least three months in advance of the event😕.
