Upcoming Events @ Your Library

Sat. Feb. 12 at 10 a.m.
Winter Family Science Workshop: Session 2
Water World: Water = Life 
Water is essential for all life, but different organisms use it differently. Some things have adapted to living in it. Some (like us) use it in our cells. Explore the ways water affects life on Earth.

The Workshops are a cooperative effort between Manchester District Library and the UM Exhibit Museum of Natural History. All area families are invited to participate. No charge; pre-registration required. Call 734-428-8045 or stop by the library to sign up.

Tues. Feb. 15 at 7 p.m.
Family History Guild
Genealogical Research with Char Major
Learn how to use ship manifests and other specialized resources to track down information about your ancestors. For more information or to register, contact Melissa Lawhorn. Pre-registration is suggested but not required.

Sun. Feb. 20 at 2 p.m.
Documentary Film
Salt: A Documentary
The library presents a documentary about Australian photographer Murray Fredericks and his annual 5-week solo pilgrimage to the salt flats of Lake Eyre to photograph the sky. His work results in phenomenal time-lapse videos and images of the sun, stars, clouds, and moon moving across the heavens, while the journeys he takes to capture these images shape his life.

No charge; pre-registration required. Call 734-428-8045 or stop by the library to sign up.

Sat. Feb. 26 at 4 p.m.
Family History Guild
Genealogy Lock-In
A special session for anyone who's working on their family history. Bring all your notes, records and materials.
