What: Friends of the Michigan Tech Library Annual Meeting

The Friends of the Michigan Tech Library will hold their 30th annual meeting at 4:30 pm on October 23, 2025, in the East Reading Room of the Van Pelt and Opie MTU Library. The meeting will include a recap of the Friends’ fiscal year 2025 sales, grants, and fundraising efforts, as well as the approval of renewals and new board members, and the appointment of officers to serve for the coming year.

Our guest speaker this year will be Stephanie Carpenter, Assistant Professor of Creative Writing in the Humanities Department at Michigan Tech. Earlier this year, she published Moral Treatment (Central Mich. Univ. Press) to considerable acclaim–noted as “Thrilling, Lush New Historical Fiction,” in the NY Times Book Review (4/13/2025). Central Michigan University selected Carpenter’s book to receive the Summit Series Prize.

Please join us for a discussion of both her work and her research process. Refreshments will be served. All are encouraged to attend.
