[Michlib-l] Michigan recommendation

[Wood, Jennifer]

The Historical Society of Michigan could probably give you a number of
possibilities.  They have a regular speaker series with excellent
presenters, and also a "Storytellers, Speakers, and Performers" page on
their website:  http://hsmichigan.org/resources/storytellers-
speakers-performers/.

Good luck!
