As a result, we are unable to accept any more books at this time. We will begin taking donations again after the first of the year.

Summer Reading 🤝 Detroit Lions

In case you missed it, the Detroit Lions in partnership with the Library of Michigan expanded their statewide library initiate program to 15 library systems throughout the state this year - and we were one of those 15 libraries!🦁

We had 20 lucky Summer Readers and their families that were able to attend the preseason game this past Saturday at Ford Field! Seeing them having the time of their lives was the highlight of our weekend! 🏈

A HUGE thank you to the Detroit Lions and Library of Michigan for this amazing partnership opportunity and supporting literacy in our community! ✨📚

Masonic Pathways has generously offered to provide transportation for the official walking tour in September and we could not be more grateful. It has been such an amazing experience working with your kind staff to make this tour come together!
