<p class="MsoNormal">After Hours Event -<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you like Trivia but don’t have a group of people to go with? Do you enjoy a nice drink on occasion? Are you coming to MLA on Tuesday, October 17<sup>th</sup>? If your answer to all of these questions is Yes, then we have got the event
for you! On Tuesday, October 17<sup>th</sup>, we will be going on a Pub Crawl in the Kalamazoo area to two well-known venues - the
<span style="mso-ligatures:none">LFG Gaming Bar <a href="https://www.lfgamingbar.com/">
<span style="color:#0563C1">https://www.lfgamingbar.com/</span></a>, and Dabney and Co.
<a href="https://www.drinkswithdabney.com/"><span style="color:#0563C1">https://www.drinkswithdabney.com/</span></a></span>. We will finish up the evening with a fun round of trivia, at Crawlspace Comedy Theatre
<a href="https://crawlspacecomedy.com/"><span style="color:#0563C1">https://crawlspacecomedy.com/</span></a> with host Matt Eickhoff
<a href="https://www.heresyourhost.com/"><span style="color:#0563C1">https://www.heresyourhost.com/</span></a> . Meet us in the lobby of the conference hotel between 5:30pm and 6:00pm where we will have two groups of folks that you can join up with. The event

<p class="MsoNormal">Silent Auction –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are bringing back the Silent Auction this year to the MLA Conference in Kalamazoo, and we are still in need of items for bid. Gift certificates, baskets full of goodies, artwork, games, puzzles, books, etc. make really great items for
bid. Money from the auction goes to help libraries who are dealing with book challenges to pay for attorney fees, assist in counseling, and to our scholarship fund. These funds are critical to libraries who may have to use their entire program or book budget
to pay attorney fees, or to colleagues whose libraries don’t have the budget to send them to a conference. If you have an item or items to donate, please contact Cindi Place at
<a href="mailto:bellairelibrary@torchlake.com"><span style="color:#0563C1">bellairelibrary@torchlake.com</span></a> or Lisa Waskin at
<a href="mailto:lwaskin@superiordistrictlibrary.org"><span style="color:#0563C1">lwaskin@superiordistrictlibrary.org</span></a>. The auction runs from Wednesday through Thursday at the conference. Thank you so much for your generosity.<o:p></o:p></p>
