Glen Lake Library hosts open house, authors
From staff reports
The Glen Lake Library invites community members to an open house on Saturday Oct. 11 from 2-4 pm to celebrate the fifth birthday of its new facility. The open house will feature refreshments (cider and donuts), live music, library tours and demos, a family scavenger hunt, and outdoor games. Information about the library’s solar power installation, currently under development, will also be available. The solar project has been made possible thanks to a generous gift from the Friends of the Glen Lake Community Library. For more information, contact the library at 231-326-5361, or visit GlenLakeLibrary.net.
The Library is hosting upcoming readings by two local authors. On Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 7 pm, Empire resident Ginger Langdon will present her new book, Empire After Dark. The collection of essays recount her many magical encounters with the varied animal residents of the village. This is the first book written by Langdon, who retired to Empire after a long corporate career.
On Friday, Oct. 17 at 6 pm, the library will host Glover Davis. He’ll share selections of his poetry from various collections including Academy of Dreams. Davis is Professor Emeritus of Creative Writing at San Diego State University, where he taught for almost forty years. His work has been featured in many journals, including Ploughshares, Shenandoah Review and The New England Review. Davis splits his time between Empire and Mason, Texas.
Both authors will have copies of their books available for signing and purchase. For more information about these and other events at the library, call 326-5361 or visit glenlakelibrary.net.
