MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Warm winter wishes to all.
Welcome to the new ways to visit the Library! From Online Storytimes LIVE on Facebook to a variety of book clubs on Zoom
video chat, we are doing our best to offer a medley of virtual programs for all ages. Please check out our new virtual program
listings in this issue of Between the Bookends. When the Library is open in a limited phase, we understand that you might not be
comfortable entering the building. If this is the case, there is a wide assortment of digital materials available 24/7, accessible
with your CLEVNET library card through the Libby or OverDrive apps. Can’t find what you are looking for in OverDrive? Give
Hoopla a try! Hoopla is a digital media service that allows you to borrow movies, music, audiobooks, ebooks, graphic novels, and
TV shows to enjoy on your computer, tablet, phone, or even your TV! Please call or message the Library for more information
about virtual programs or digital media platforms.
As a result of the Library receiving $25,000 in Coronavirus Relief Grant funding, we have been able to make a number of
improvements to the building to help ensure your health and safety. These improvements include drinking fountains with water
bottle filling stations, installation of Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization units in the Library air handlers, new touchless paper towel
dispensers in all Library restrooms, and touchless hand sanitizer dispensers now located throughout the building. We hope you
stop in soon, and that you feel safer doing so. Keep reading, watching, and learning!
Kindest regards,
Vikki Morrow-Ritchie
Library Director

Before Huron’s urban renewal, on the West side of Main
Street, there stood a quaint diner that served home-
cooked meals from 1951-1968. The name of this fine
establishment was Ed-Mar. In 1961, on the diner’s 10th
anniversary, they served a hamburger for 25¢ an a cup
of coffee for 7¢.
Do you know why this diner was named Ed-Mar? Do you
recall what was on either side of it? Extra credit if you
know the address.
