About Michigan Reads!
The Michigan Reads! program seeks to highlight the importance of reading and sharing books with children, especially toddlers through early elementary, and to recognize the vital role of libraries which provide access to quality books, programs and services to children and families that lay the foundation for reading and school success.

The Michigan Reads! title is selected annually based upon several criteria including: appropriateness for preschool (ages 0-5) through 2nd grade children; how well a title lends itself to programming and story extenders; and having a living author, preferably from Michigan and/or the Great Lakes region.
