[Michlib-l] U.P. Notable Book Club features Susan Purvis, author of "Go Find" 🐶 on Aug 12th 2021

Tue Jul 27 15:43:54 EDT 2021

Natalie Nowak of Bayliss Public Library asked for a poster format so I'm 
sending it out to everyone.  There's a JPG for social media and a PDF in 
case you have a bulletin board.   If this works out, I'll attach them to 
future announcements going forward

I hope this is within the scope of the Michlib listserve guidelines

Regards
