Michigan Notable Books

MICHIGAN.GOV/NOTABLEBOOKS

Every year, the Library of Michigan selects twenty notable books, either written by a Michigan author or about Michigan or the Great Lakes. The selected books are honored in the year after their copyright date through the annual Night for Notables celebration. Many authors also participate in the statewide Michigan Notable Books tour and virtual Author Conversations. Each title speaks to our state's rich cultural, historical, and literary heritage and proves without a doubt that some of the greatest stories are found in the Great Lakes State.
