LIBRARY NEWS AND INFORMATION
WHAT'S THE BUZZ?
Come see the working beehive at the Library this
summer. Roger Sutherland, a local bee expert, sets up a hive inside
the library for our patrons to enjoy. Using a channel system through a
window, the bees are able to enter and exit the hive from the outdoors.
It's fun to look for the Queen Bee and watch the workers as they go about
their daily functions. Mr. Sutherland has been keeping bees since
1967, and started hi first beehive at Schoolcraft College, as a teaching
tool for his biology students.
Happy Birthday America!
On the 4th of July, the Library presented its 12th annual
"We, the People" patriotic program which features townspeople as famous
Americans, and reminds us of the great American documents whose words make
this a great nation.
The year's program included John Haling as Thomas
Jefferson; Lauren Deak as Laura Ingalls Wilder; Mike Ball as Woody Guthrie;
Betsy Deak as Bess Truman; Katie Haling as Molly Pitcher; Pam
Sidney as Sojourner Truth; David Pace as Elvis Presley; and Gary
Deak as George Washington.
In addition, Jackie Bauer Euper read "In Flanders
Fields"; Sid Sidney read FDR's "Four Freedoms" speech; and Will
Deak read the Young People's Preamble to the Constitution. Patriot
music and raising of the flag were also a part of the program.
