Excerpt: The Library of Michigan today announced the 2014 Michigan Notable Books – 20 books celebrating Michigan people, places and events.
"Michigan is rich in talented writers, history, and resources," said State Superintendent Mike Flanagan. "Our Notable Books for 2014 express the wonderful variety of character, tone, and flavors that are purely Michigan."
