*Chelsea Named to Book Lover’s List!*



Chelsea, MI —With the help of Chelsea District Library, the town of Chelsea
was named one of AboutGreatBooks.com’s “30 Great Small Towns for Book
Lovers”. The list includes towns from all over the US, who offer unique
ways for book-lovers to experience literature first-hand.  Chelsea was the
only town from the state of Michigan to be honored.



Towns were chosen for their ability “to make you feel — ‘in some mysterious
way’ — a little closer to the words on the page,” reads the
AboutGreatBooks.com article. Chelsea’s mysterious way is through its annual
Midwest Literary Walk (MLW) created and hosted by the Chelsea District
Library. The annual event is held the last Saturday in April and showcases
nationally acclaimed authors and poets throughout downtown venues.  The
event grows each year, and the 8th annual MLW was no exception. More than
200 literary fans “pilgrimaged” to Chelsea to hear this year’s stellar
lineup, which included Paula McLain, bestselling author of *The Paris Wife*
and *Circling the Sun*.



“One of the delights of this event is that you can make a whole day of it!
While the incredible lineups bring you to town, Chelsea’s wonderful
restaurants, shops and recreational areas will keep your attention
throughout the day!” says Lori Coryell, Chelsea District Library Director.
