I work part-time at the Cottage Book Shop in Glen Arbor, located in a historic, 85-year-old log cabin that used to nestle over on Big Glen Lake. From its patinated floorboards, every nook and cranny is jammed to the bark-covered beams with books, posters, original art, books, maps, local authors, books, Native American traditional crafts, greeting cards … and books.
The Cottage Book Shop in Glen Arbor will be hosting a book giveaway party on Sunday, April 22, from 3-5 p.m., in preparation for the upcoming World Book Night. Book lovers in the community, who were selected by the international nonprofit organization, will pick up 20 free copies of their chosen book, which they will distribute on Monday, April 23 to underserved readers in the Leelanau and Grand Traverse areas.
Calling all book lovers and friends of the Cottage Book Shop in Glen Arbor: Wednesday, Feb. 1 is the deadline to sign up to choose the title of the free book you will deliver to 20 non-readers or light readers throughout northern Michigan on April 23 — the second annual World Book Night.
