Leon & Lulu to host award-winning Books & Authors event from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 23
Book over to Leon & Lulu from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, October 23 for the eighth installation of the retailer’s award-winning Books & Authors event.
Books & Authors is a juried book fair featuring mostly Michigan writers. Guests can mix and
mingle with up to 60 authors who will sell and sign books and even read excerpts for guests.
“Books & Authors is one of our favorite events because it gives Michigan authors a place to
come out of their ivory towers and meet their fans,” laughs Mary Liz Curtin, co-owner of Leon &
Lulu. “This year we’re working with the wonderful folks at the Oakland Literacy Council, who
provide the basic literacy and English language instruction necessary for adults in our
community to find employment.”
