2023 Michigan Notable Books, MLK Day Holiday Closing
2023 Michigan Notable Books
The Library of Michigan is pleased to announce the selections for the
2023 Michigan Notable Books list. Every year, the Library of Michigan selects up to twenty of the most notable books, either written by a Michigan resident or about Michigan or the Great Lakes. The selected books are honored
in the year after their publication or copyright date. Each selected 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.
