Michigan Notable Books
2026 AUTHOR TOUR

Bear County, Michigan

by John Counts

"John Counts understands rural Michiganians . . . [this] page-turner gives glimpses into the lives of his Michigan-based characters: the brave, the misunderstood and the criminal." —Detroit News

"Bear County, Michigan is simultaneously familiar and utterly new in its sharp execution . . . Counts is a prime example of Michigan’s modern literary renaissance." —Chicago Review of Books

Coffee and brunch refreshments (bear claws, etc.) provided by the Friends of the Boyne District Library.

Registration required. SPACE IS LIMITED.

The Friends of the Boyne District Library run a used book shop in the library and do occasional book sales and other events to raise funds for library programs. If you want to support the library, there is no better way to get involved, as a member or a shopper. :)
