What's New at the Michigan Center for the Book
The 2012 Center for the Book grants have been awarded. We gave out 11 literary grants to libraries for a total of $2,964. Congratulations to the applicant libraries.
We are beginning work on a programming guide for the 2012 Michigan Notable Books program. It is a list of suggested read-a-likes, activities, partnerships, etc. for each book on the Notables list. Look for that to come soon.
We are also starting a new 2012 brochure that will be printed this summer on the topic of Michigan food and wine. If you have a book I should put on the list, let me know!.
The Center for the Book has expanded its membership options! Libraries with budgets under $500,000 can now join for $125 per year. For more information on the benefits, see Why Should My Library Join the Center for the Book and the Affiliate Application. We hope to see you soon!
Bringing libraries, readers and writers together since 1986.
