Hello Michigan Libraries,

 

Please find attached a Media Advisory announcing the 2021-22 Great Michigan Read virtual kick-off event this Thursday, October 7th at 11:00AM.

 

This year’s Great Michigan Read book is “The Women of the Copper Country,” by Mary Doria Russell. Tune into the event for a conversation between the author and Michigan Humanities Board Member, Paul Chaffee. The event will conclude with a Q&A session and kick-off the fall virtual author tour.

 

You may register in advance for the Zoom webinar HERE. The event will also be live streamed on our Facebook page.

 

If you haven’t signed up for this year’s read yet, you can do so here: Become a GMR Partner. For those of you who are already registered, applications for Action Grants up to $750 for programming around the book are open.

 

If you have any questions, please let me know. Hope to see you there.
