Looking for local LGBTQIA+ Authors
Hello all, I know this is short notice, but if anyone happens to have any contact information for local LGBTQIA+ authors. We are in West Michigan, so that would be ideal for their travel. We were planning to host a Pride author fair on June 2 (hence the short notice), but the person who was coordinating the authors fell through. I was able to get one author myself, but if I can't get some others then we will have to cancel and that would be a HUGE bummer. If anyone can offer any recommendations and websites/contact info, I would really appreciate it. Thank you, *Christina LeVey-Rowland* Outreach Programming Librarian *231-722-8000 Ext. 8002* | hackleylibrary.org 316 W Webster Ave | Muskegon, MI 49440
I know of one author on that side of the state, but I don't have contact information. S.A. Hunt, author of the Malus Domestica series. I don't know if that's helpful, but hopefully you can track that person down.

Hello Michigan Libraries, We have been looking at purchasing 24hour library lockers. I have two very short questions to ask... If your library has them, what brand do you use? Would you recommend them? Thank you for your input. Miriam [cid:b3aa4ed8-0ca6-48d6-9aa4-d45eee5d80f2] Miriam Andrus, MLS Director, Grace A. Dow Memorial Library 1710 W.

We just had Meggie Ramm out for two programs over spring break and both were great! Recommend! I believe they're local to SE MI.
