Michigan State Fair adds Little Free Library prize program for Detroit Urban Gardens

The Fifth Third Bank Michigan State Fair, September 1-5 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, celebrates Michigan's literary traditions with a special appearance Thursday September 1 by popular young adult book author Jonathon Rand, creator of the Michigan Chillers and American Chillers mystery book series, presented by Chrysler Pacifica!  

It's a grand kick off to a weekend long "Reader's Round-Up" featuring a broad slate of talented Michigan authors that will be visiting the State Fair to meet readers of all ages and sign books for their fans.

The State Fair will also be hosting an exhibit of Little Free Libraries decorated by local artists that will be installed at Urban gardens in Detroit this fall, stocked with books and aimed at fostering a love of reading for Michigan residents of all ages in the city.
