From staff reports

The four public libraries of Leelanau County invite you to participate in Leelanau Reads, a community reading program. During the annual Leelanau Reads program, county residents are encouraged to come together in a shared reading experience. This year’s book pick is Wreck by Catherine Newman, a short, contemporary novel full of laughter and heart, about marriage, family, and what happens when life doesn’t go as planned.

As part of Leelanau Reads, the four libraries are pleased to host Newman on Saturday, May 2, at 7 pm at French Valley Vineyard, in conversation with Brooke Hazaël-Massieux. Copies of Wreck will be available for purchase at the event thanks to our friends at Bay Books. Registration is required for this free author event. Please contact your local Leelanau County library to learn more and register.

Copies of the book are available to borrow from your local library and to purchase at your local bookseller. Each library will host a discussion of the book, open to all readers.
