Michigan Notable Books
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.

Books for Your Book Club!
Loutit District Library offers a variety of reading options for your next book club! We have released the books from their bag for a more “free range” experience. Each book has its own barcode for an easy checkout experience enabling your book club members to come in and check out their own copy, on their own card, or one person can be responsible for all checked out copies.
Handouts for each title containing discussion questions, book recommendations, and author information for each title are available near our book club selection. Don’t see a pamphlet on the shelf for your book? Just ask at the Information Desk in the Adult Wing and a staff member will print you a copy free of charge! Moderator forms are also available upon request.
Have questions? Give us a call at 616-850-6914.
