We chatted with the experts, the bookworms, and bookstore owners, and here’s our roundup of local books—or books written by local authors—that were published in 2025. All make great holiday gifts! Find them at Leelanau County’s locally owned, independent bookstores: Cottage Book Shop in Glen Arbor, Bay Books in Suttons Bay, Dog Ears Books in Northport, and Leelanau Books in Leland; or at your local library. Happy reading!

On Friday, July 12 at 10:30 am, local children’s book author and illustrator Brianne Farley will visit Leland Township Library to read her newest book, Charlotte the Scientist Finds a Cure, written by Camille Andros. Like the character Charlotte in the book, attendees will use their skills of scientific observation to examine, draw and color carrots.
