Good morning!

I wanted to alert this list to an upcoming event happening in East Lansing later this month. Michigan Humanities will be hosting a Great Michigan Read Author Reunion, featuring Beth Nguyen, Kevin Boyle, Steve Luxenberg, Kekla Magoon, Dr. Mona Hanna, Mary Doria Russell, and Angeline Boulley. In a conversation moderated by Bill Castanier, these authors will come together to discuss the ways that literature is critical to building empathy and understanding.

This event takes place October 24, 6:30 p.m., at the Pasant Theatre at the Wharton Center for Performing Arts in East Lansing. A book signing with the featured authors will follow the panel conversation; Schuler Books will be on site with copies for purchase. This event will also serve as the announcement of the 10th Great Michigan Read title.

Admission to this event is free, but registration is required. Find more information and a registration link here: https://www.michiganhumanities.org/event/great-michigan-read-author-reunion/

If you're from a library near the Lansing area, we would appreciate you spreading the word if you know of any patrons who might be interested in this event. I've attached a poster with the general information included. Please reach out with any questions, and I hope some of you will be able to attend!

Thank you and have a great day,

Estee
