The Library of Michigan Foundation and the Library would like to thank keynote speaker Michael Moore, the 2013 Michigan Notable Book authors, our volunteers and guests for making the 2013 Night for Notables such a memorable evening. It was so successful, we're already looking forward to next year! In the meantime, continue to enjoy the company of Notable Authors by catching one of their presentations scheduled at libraries throughout the state now through June.
