Come learn how to clean and restore headstones at Morenci's Oak Grove Cemetery Saturday, June 6, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in a free workshop. No experience is necessary, but participants must register by calling Stair District Library at 517-458-6510 or email [email protected]. Lunch will be provided; bring a portable chair, if desired.

Stair District Library offers a unique, hands-on opportunity to care for one of Morenci’s most meaningful historic spaces at Oak Grove Cemetery for a Cemetery Preservation Workshop led by Dr. Thomas Henthorn and students from the University of Michigan–Flint.

Participants will learn preservation-minded techniques for cleaning historic gravestones using methods that protect these fragile and irreplaceable markers. The workshop is designed for anyone interested in local history, preservation, or community stewardship. No prior experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and take part.

Dr. Henthorn serves as the Wyatt Endowed Professor of Public History and directs the Preservation Studies Minor at the University of Michigan–Flint. He and his students work with communities across Michigan to support the long-term care of historic cemeteries.

Film screening and live discussion on Zoom at Stair District Library: Thursday, May 21, 2 p.m. Age Well: Aging in America:
Americans are living longer than ever before, but longer life does not always mean better life. As healthcare advances and lifespans extend, many families are asking difficult questions about affordability, caregiving, ageism and quality of life. In partnership with The John A. Hartford Foundation, join us for this special screening of “Aging in America: Survive or Thrive,” a PBS documentary narrated by Martin Sheen and based on Dr. Robert Butler’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book, “Why Survive?”. This thoughtful film explores the challenges and opportunities of aging in the United States today. Following our screening, we’ll enjoy a live discussion with producers Dr. Ken Dychtwald and Neil Steinberg, using questions submitted in our Q&A by participants like you.

Monday, May 18, 1 p.m. at Stair District Library: Live on Zoom at the Library: Frank Kameny — Trailblazing the Gay Rights Movement: A one-hour lecture and Q&A to learn about Frank Kameny’s fight for LGBT+ rights.

In 1958, astronomer Frank Kameny was dismissed from the U.S. Army Map Service after refusing to answer questions about his sexual identity under President Eisenhower’s Executive Order 10450. That dismissal set him on a new course: Kameny became one of the nation’s first openly gay LGBT+ rights activists, founding a grassroots advocacy group and organizing the first demonstration for gay rights in front of the White House. Join Carolyn Crouch to explore how Kameny’s fight, sparked by the Lavender Scare of the 1950s, grew into a decades-long struggle for equality that would one day be recognized by President Barack Obama. This lecture will trace the pivotal moments of Kameny’s journey and the lasting impact of his activism.
