Winter is here! Come check out our great Christmas lineup of books and events!

	Author Signing: Richard Smith, Great Michigan Deer Tales Book #7 Tuesday, December 11, 2018 - 6:00pm to 8:00pm Although this book and the other six in this series focus on the biggest-antlered bucks bagged by hunters in Michigan, these books also celebrate the storied, deep-rooted tradition of hunting whitetails in this state. Part of that tradition is the excitement of your first deer hunt, your first deer and your first buck. For many hunters, their first deer and their first buck will be achievements that will be accomplished at the same time. For others like the author, whose first deer was a doe, the first deer and first buck are separate occasions to cherish.

Author Signing: David Stendel, Just Call Me Spaz Saturday, December 15, 2018 - 11:00am to 1:00pm I am an epileptic. Everyone goes down his or her own road through life. One person’s life may seem dark and dreary, while another person seems to be living a bright and exciting life. Yet, some folks live by ways and means that are far from either. Your “Average Joe” is a man who doesn’t have everything he needs to live his life to the fullest. Instead, “Joe” struggles to gain or stay ahead or to maintain his status quo, feeling proud of the things he’s accomplished. THAT is kind of like me.

	Author and Illustrator Signing: Beverly J. Porter and Jan Bower, One Amazing Night Saturday, December 15, 2018 - 1:00pm to 3:00pm ONE AMAZING NIGHT is a Christmas story about the night of Jesus' birth as recorded in the second chapter of the Book of Luke. Tenderly and creatively told from a shepherd boy's viewpoint, it is written by Beverly J. Porter, and beautifully illustrated by Jan Bower.

Author Signing: Heather Shumaker, Saving Arcadia Saturday, December 15, 2018 - 3:00pm to 5:00pm This is the story of a small band of determined townspeople and how far they went to save beloved land and endangered species from the grip of a powerful corporation. SAVING ARCADIA is a narrative with roots as deep as the trees the community is trying to save, something set in motion before the author was even born. And yet, Shumaker gives a human face to the changing nature of land conservation in the twenty-first century. Throughout this chronicle we meet people like Elaine, a nineteen-year-old farm wife; Dori, a lakeside innkeeper; and Glen, the director of the local land trust. Together with hundreds of others they cross cultural barriers and learn to help one another in an effort to win back the six-thousand-acre landscape taken over by Consumers Power that is now facing grave devastation.

	Author Signing: Wendy Webb, Daughters of the Lake Saturday, December 15, 2018 - 5:00pm to 7:00pm After the end of her marriage, Kate Granger has retreated to her parents’ home on Lake Superior to pull herself together—only to discover the body of a murdered woman washed into the shallows. Tucked in the folds of the woman’s curiously vintage gown is an infant, as cold and at peace as its mother. No one can identify the woman. Except for Kate. She’s seen her before. In her dreams…
