Novi Public Library celebrates Martin Luther King Day on Monday January 20

Join the Novi Public Library on Monday, January 20 and honor the spirit and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.  Outstanding programs will be a part of the day as the Library celebrates the life and accomplishments of a national icon, activist and leader. 

The Library will begin this educational day at 1pm when children are welcome to join in and listen to a special story time, followed by a craft and activities hour beginning at 1:30pm.  The day will conclude with a very special author event at 7pm featuring professional writer Jean Alicia Elster as she shares her current book, The Colored Car.  

Just awarded as a Michigan Notable book of 2014, The Colored Car is a piece of American History that describes the personal impact of segregation and discrimination, while focusing on everyday life in Detroit during the 1930’s.  This program is perfect for families and readers interested in our country’s history and those who have a passion for writing and journalism.  A portion of this emotional and compelling story will be read by the author, followed by a Q & A and book signing.
