“Summer Fun” with Adult Summer Reading Program @ the Pinckney Library Is Back

Our popular “Summer Fun” Adult Summer Reading Program is making a comeback! Starting on July 1, 2007, the program will continue on for two months and ends on September 1, 2007, with grand prize drawings on September 4, 2007.

This program is open to anyone 18 years and over who love to read. And it’s very simple to participate. No registration necessary. Simply fill out a review form (located in the library or printed from the Pinckney Library’s website) for every book you read over this time period and return them to the library in the “Summer Fun” drop box. These forms will become your entry for prizes given out periodically every week, and will qualify you for a grand prize drawing set for September 4, 2007. (Note: Only 5 submissions per person per week will be included in the weekly drawings.) The program is open to all Pinckney Library patrons and community members, Friends Group members, Board of Trustees, and Pinckney Library staff.

For more information, call the library (734-878-3888) or visit us on the web @ http://www.pinckneylibrary.org/ or in person @ 350 Mower Rd., Pinckney MI. So come join in the fun and read this summer!

Ancestor’s Clothesline Project Comes to the Pinckney Library

Starting Monday, June 25—as the Pinckney Community Public Library gears up for its 2007 Summer Reading Program and celebrates its 55th Birthday—patrons will find a great display of the Livingston County Genealogical Society Ancestor’s Clothesline Project against the Reading/Magazine area wall of the library.

What is an “Ancestor’s Clothesline”?

An “Ancestor’s Clothesline” is a display put together by the Livingston County Genealogical Society, in celebration of their Silver Jubilee. The project is a tradition borrowed from the Finns, who honored their forebears with displays of hung clothing or other household items onto which likenesses of ancestors have been transferred.

Pictures from the Livingston County Genealogical Society’s Ancestor’s Clothesline honor the early settlers and other residents of Livingston County, MI. Many of the people displayed were farmers, merchants, stock breeders, millers, hoteliers, railroaders, milliners, seamstresses, laundresses, gardeners, teachers, nurses and homemakers. Names seen on the display may be recognizable from county streets, roads, buildings, schools or parks, which have been named for early residents.

The Clothesline Display found in the Pinckney Community Public Library portrays many Pinckney and Putnam Twp. local history photos. We invite everyone in our community, young and old, to visit us at 350 Mower Rd., Pinckney, MI to view this amazing display of local history.

For more information, please contact the Pinckney Community Public Library at 734-878-3888 or visit us at 350 Mower Rd., Pinckney, MI 48169.
