Michigan Museums - Visit Them For Free

Do you love the museums and area cultural events, but are less than thrilled with the prices? Macy's is teaming up with area public libraries to offer free passes for two or four at many Michigan museums. Visit http://www.detroitadventurepass.org/ for more information.

Other sites to check out for upcoming events include:

The Michigan Humanities Council: http://michiganhumanities.org/
The Mid-Michigan Art Guild: http://www.midmichiganartguild.org/

Librarians and Football...No, We Aren't Kidding...

It's that time of year. The air is cold and crisp, the leaves are changing colors, St. Mary's football team is in the playoffs, and librarians/football fans across the country are screaming at their TVs every Saturday, Sunday and Monday night. The staff of the Maida Alumni Library happens to know one librarian with Indianapolis Colts season tickets...needless to say, she is still recovering from the game versus the Patriots and has lost her voice.

To celebrate this fun time of year, we would like to present "Football Museums and Displays ONLINE"! We know you can hardly stand the excitement. So put on your cleats and start clicking.

Professional Football Hall of Fame - http://www.profootballhof.com/ Lots of neat information plus a multimedia center with downloads, like great computer wallpaper

College Football Hall of Fame - http://www.collegefootball.org/ Take a look at the fun exhibits they currently have...most you have to see in person, but South Bend isn't that far away!

A Bo Schembechler Exhibit - http://www.lib.umich.edu/exhibits/bo/bo.html Brought to you by the Hatcher Graduate Library at the University of Michigan

Michigan and Ohio State Rivalry Online Exhibit - http://www.lib.umich.edu/spec-coll/ohio-mich/ Sponsored by the University of Michigan and Ohio State University

St. Mary's Athletics Home Page - http://www.olsmathletics.com/frames/Main1.htm - Your information center for all things related to St. Mary's Athletic Programs

Hey Michigan State Fans...we are looking furiously for an online exhibit dedicated to Michigan State Football or coaches! If you know of one...email us at library@orchardlakeschools.com

Ah, we know we didn't include Central, Western, and so many other teams (Albion, Lake Superior State, the list goes on and on). Send the links...we'll post them...
