This question was passed down to our Reference Dept.
from another department head...

A patron is looking for a book. it is supposedly
called _When Lighthouses are Dark: _ and has the words
_Lake Superior Story_ in the subtitle. The author is
suppose to be Ethel Brill.

We have checked all the usual places and then some:
Amazon, Alibris, Ohiolink, MORE, NovelList. cannot
find the title anywhere.

I did find a book by that author that is set in
Michigan's Keweenaw peninsula, which appears to be off
of Lake Superior, called _Copper Country Adventure_.
The author also wrote _Madeleine Takes Command_ (set
in 17th century New France).

I know it isn't much to go on, but y'all have been so
great with coming up with other queries, I thought it
wouldn't hurt to try. If your library has this book
and would be willing to ILL it, please let me know and
I can pass the info along to our ILL person.

Thank you!!

And two days later I finish reading my email from
fiction_L and see that two other people also responded
with answers. I appologize for missing your posts.
Thanks to you, also, Cathy Reid and Molly.

Our ILL person was very happy with the info I gave
her.

I love this listserv, but it takes me forever to read
all the great information in it!
