South Lyon, MI – Oakland County is celebrating its 200th birthday, in 2020. To kick-off Oakland County’s bicentennial celebrations, a special book presentation will be held at the Lyon Township Public Library (LTPL) in South Lyon, Michigan on Tuesday, January 21, 2020 at 6:30P.M. All are invited to attend! 

The book to be presented to LTPL’s Director, Holly Teasdle, and Genealogist, Cathy Cottone, is a reprint of the 1877 History of Oakland County , published by LH Everts in the 1870s. Along with the delivery of the book to LTPL’s collection, Oakland County Historical Commission’s Mr. Jim Craft will give an hour-long presentation. He will discuss Oakland County’s history, focusing more on the 1870s, but will also outline the usefulness of the book in historical research. Such a fount of information will be a benefit to the Lyon Township Library and the community, in its pursuit of uncovering and learning from its history, and enriching the lives of those with access to it for years to come.
