The Michigan Notable Books for 2010 were recently announced by the Library of Michigan.

Up to twenty of the most notable books, either written by a Michigan resident or about Michigan or the Great Lakes, are selected each year. The selected books are honored in the year after their publication or copyright date.   Each 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.

Michigan is rich in good writers and the Library of Michigan is proud to honor and celebrate this wonderful literary heritage each year with a "Night for Notables" event and with the annual grant-funded authors' tour to libraries throughout the state (to be announced later).
