Michigan Week is celebrated this year from the 16th through the 22nd of this month. This annual tribute began in 1954 as a way to promote state pride among citizens, and to celebrate the state's rich heritage. The Library can help you learn more about Michigan's history, its tremendous natural resources, and its beautiful sights to visit and enjoy.

This year, Michigan Week is May 16-22. Developed to inspire people to celebrate Michigan at the local level, it's also a time to reflect upon Michigan's history and allow its residents to look to the future. For a list of books, magazines and dvd's about Michigan be sure to visit the Michigan Week special collection.
