"History of the Library of Michigan: Celebrating 195 Years of Service" Virtual Program
This past Thursday evening the Library of Michigan offered a special virtual program as a lead-up to the Library of Michigan's 195th anniversary on June 16. Community Engagement Librarian Adam Oster and Michigan Documents Librarian Bernadette Bartlett were joined by Michigan State Capitol Historian & Curator Valerie Marvin<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly9jYXBpdG9sLm1pY2hpZ2FuLmdvdi9Db250YWN0RmFjaWxpdGllcyIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzA2MDMuNzc3MTQ1NTEifQ.RAx-T6GVqMErksvpetz_CGbJ-iHE7hLcKeAjbWUVAsQ/s/2161323186/br/204204177431-l> for a panel discussion covering a wide range of topics tied to the Library of Michigan's 195 years of service. The conversation explored the formation of the library in the territorial capitol of Detroit before moving to Lansing, the early uses of the collection, highlighted key state librarians (e.g., Harriet Tenney, Mary Spencer, Mary Frankhauser, and Loleta Fyan) who guided the library throughout the decades, discussed the expansion of the library's collections and services, and featured several other topics related to the legacy of the library.
The virtual conversation was recorded and will soon be available with other past Library of Michigan virtual programs on YouTube<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tL3BsYXlsaXN0P2xpc3Q9UExRTnYtTXJUanloS3ZmcGw1NnRqQmh2YUEzQ2RZRURwQiIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzA2MDMuNzc3MTQ1NTEifQ.gd7M8blmX-fsT7DvJFCH59-_79e-NESgY1pjZO0PpCc/s/2161323186/br/204204177431-l>.
