Race and Racism: Community Book Club
Racism is once again headlining our news and our daily conversations. As we wrestle with questions of equity and justice, we are in a unique time and space to engage in meaningful dialogue with people of diverse views.

Loutit District Library is partnering with the Momentum Center's (Anti) Racism Task Force to host a community book club on the topic of race and racism every second Saturday of the month at 11 AM. Join us this Saturday, October 9 for an engaging discussion.

Registration is not required to attend. For questions and the most recent book choices please contact Wes McGee at 616-414-2107.
The Stressful Lives of Larval Lampreys
Join Stephen Bowen and the Owashtanong Islands Audubon Society on Tuesday, October 19 at 6:30 PM as he presents on sea lamprey ecology focusing on the interesting feature of varying growth rates of the larvae from stream to stream and how crowding reduces their growth rate.

It is curious that larvae do not spread out in streams but rather congregate in specific habitats thereby greatly increasing crowding. Is food quality the critical factor? What determines food quality – nutrient content or digestibility or both? What possible effect could crowding have on food quality? In this presentation, each of these questions will be answered and an integrated life history strategy for larval lampreys will be proposed.
