12/22/13 - A documentary detailing the Pinckney Community Public Library building's history is now on sale for the holidays. The 15-minute film âThe Heart of Pinckneyâ was made by two local students, Christine Kanerva and Thomas Cremonte, as a school project at New Tech High School. The pair collaborated with community members, including library staff and educators, to cover the building's past as an elementary school, high school, and village education center before it was purchased and renovated by the library. The documentary has been publicly screened by the library on several occasions, including for the building's grand opening last December, at an open house in January, and as a preview to a longer documentary detailing Pinckney's role in the history of women's varsity sports. The library has gotten permission to sell DVD's of âThe Heart of Pinckneyâ as a way to raise funds, and so far more than a dozen have been sold at a price of $10 apiece. To encourage community-minded residents to give the DVD as a gift this holiday season, the sale price has been slashed from $10 to $7 apiece. (TD)
