Please join 2026 Michigan Notable Books author Rob Miller in conversation with Craig Maki about his book, The Hours Are Long, But the Pay is Low, at the Northville District Library (212 W Cady St, Northville 48167) on Tuesday, July 21 at 7 PM. This author visit will be held in the Carlo Meeting Room on the main level of the library, just across from the check out desk. Books will be available to purchase from Elephant Ear Books and Rob Miller will be happy to sign them! Registration is required. Parking is free.

A Detroit native and co-founder of Chicago’s acclaimed Bloodshot Records, Miller shares stories from the front lines of Americana and alt-country music. Learn more: robmillerwriting.com and carcitycountry.com.

If you would like to read the book before attending, copies are available to borrow from NDL by placing a hold here. From MeLCat to request. And from a TLN shared system library. I'd link Download Destination too, but all of the copies are checked out.

The Michigan Notable Books program is sponsored in part by the Library of Michigan Foundation, Michigan Center for the Book, and Michigan Humanities.
