Library Friends:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Novi Rotary in Novi, Michigan hosted author, Jack Kresnak, on Thursday, August 18<sup>th</sup>. This was a fantastic program and one many libraries would enjoy sharing with their community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Jack talked about his book “Hope for the City – A Catholic priest, a suburban housewife and their desperate effort to save Detroit” (Cass Community Publishing House). Books were sold for $25.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Over two decades covering juvenile justice and child welfare, Kresnak received dozens of awards for his work, including the Casey Center for Families and Children’s Medal for Meritorious Journalism on Behalf of Children, the Child Welfare
League of America’s Anna Quindlen Award, the Toni House Journalism Award from the America Judicature Society, and the Excellence in Journalism award from the National Association of Child Advocates. He was twice named Journalist of the Year by the metro Detroit
chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. In 2008 he was inducted into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame. This is Jack’s first book.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
