Hi Everyone, The Grosse Pointe Library Foundation and Friends of the Grosse Pointe Library are excited to host Peter Pearson, President of the Friends of the St. Paul Library, for a half-day workshop on "Demonstrating the Relevance of Libraries in the Community." We hosted him in 2012 for a workshop on fundraising and it was excellent. The workshop will be held on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 from 10am-12pm. It will be held at our Grosse Pointe Woods branch, 20680 Mack Avenue which is very close to I-94. Cost is $25 and breakfast will be provided. Deadline for registration is January 23, 2015. Call 313-343-2325. In the interest of serving as many libraries as possible, we will be limiting each library system to two people, however, you can leave names on a waiting list and if we don't fill up, we can allow more from one library to attend. Hope you can make it! Peter is a great speaker. See the attachment. Vickey Bloom Director Grosse Pointe Public Library
