"GOINGS-ON"

We want to give you advance notice on some "goings-on" here in the library that are a high priority for those of us interested in the Bullis Collection. So we suggest you mark your calendars now for these events:

1. Sunday, October 21, 2 PM - Peter Jemison, Manager of the Ganondagan historical site in victor, will make a presentation in MPL's Community Room. He'll be focusing on the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua and the importance of the treaty to the settlement and history of the greater Macedon area.

2. Saturday, November 10, from Noon to 3 PM - "Documenting our Macedon Memories" -  Macedon area residents can bring their historic photos of Wayne County to one of three scanning sessions in the library. The emphasis will be to document information about the photographs, gather family stories, and increase awareness about the photography collection in the Town Historian's office (which is right next door to the Bullis Room).

3. On a Sunday afternoon in February, 2013 - Dr. David Anderson, a noted storyteller and faculty member at Nazareth College, will present "If My Life is but Spared; Austin Steward's Sojourn from Slavery to Freedom."
     Mr. Steward, a former slave who made his home in Farmington and later Rochester, wrote Twenty-two Years a Slave and Forty Years a Free Man, published in 1857. AND, we have a copy of this book in the Bullis Collection.

Hope to see you at these events. And if you'd like to stop by the Bullis Room before or after any of these "goings-on," we'll be there.
