Local meteorologist Michael Stevens will be joining the Senior Luncheon to add his unique stylings as a Bingo

caller. Known for his high energy and goofy humor, this is sure to be Bingo like you’ve never seen it before!

You can reserve items online, over the phone and in person. Holds can be picked up at any Library within the TADL District. This is set up on your ac-

count or at the time of the hold request. Please keep in mind, you must have a library card and fines under $5.00 to borrow items. If you are picking up a hold, you must have the card the item was re-served under. We cannot look up account numbers for children, spouses or friends. The hold item

has to be borrowed under the account it was requested under. This is for everyone’s protection and it is Library policy. If you have any

questions regarding hold items, please contact the Library at 231-879-4101.

~ Blind Date With A Book Is Back! ~ All Month Long

Take a chance on love . . . with a book! We will have a selection of reading material set aside for you to choose from. The books will be wrapped up so you can’t judge them by their covers (get it?!) , but we will put some clues as to what they’re about to help you choose. Will you get a dud, or will it be the best blind

date you’ve ever had? Not knowing is part of the fun!

Senior activities are made possible through joint programming between the Fife Lake Library, Senior Center Network and Grand

Station Eleven By: Emily St. John Mandel

Hig survived the flu pandemic that killed everyone he knows. Now

he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, Jasper, and a mercurial, gun-toting misanthrope named Bangley. But when a random transmission beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life exists outside their tightly controlled perimeter.
