While I was in the U.P. the other week, I gave two more book presentations: one at the De Tour Public Library and the other at Iron Mountain Public Library. I loved the sign that the De Tour Library put out for me (shown above)!
It was such a pleasure to speak at both libraries. The audience was attentive and curious, and I loved hearing their own stories about connections to copper mining. I believe the 1913 labor strike in Michigan's Copper Country is a fascinating event that I enjoy talking about. The presentation is done using Power Point and my nephew put together a short video that helps the audience immerse themselves into the 1913 time period.
Although book sales are a bit slow, I'm happy to continue book presentations as long as libraries continue inviting me!
Enjoy the rest of the summer!
