The four public libraries of Leelanau County are pleased to host Nita Prose on Saturday, May 17th at 7pm at the Glen Lake Schools Auditorium. Ms. Prose is the author of the New York Times and IndieBound bestseller The Maid, as well as a sequel and a novella, with a third book in the series having just been released on April 8th 2025. She will be discussing her first book, The Maid. She will be interviewed by guest host Sarah Bearup-Neal of the Glen Arbor Arts Center. Copies of The Maid will be available for purchase at the event thanks to Cottage Book Shop. This free event is open to all, no pre-registration required. Doors open at 6 p.m. Seats are first come, first serve. Please contact your local Leelanau County library with any questions. This author event is part of Leelanau Reads community reading program. During the annual Leelanau Reads program, county residents are encouraged to come together in a shared reading experience. This year’s book pick is Ms. Prose’s The Maid, a Clue-like, locked-room mystery and a heartwarming journey of the spirit that explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different—and reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart. Copies of the book are available to borrow from your local library and to purchase at your local bookseller. This event is sponsored by Glen Lake Community Library, Leland Township Library, Leelanau Township Library, and Suttons Bay Bingham District Library with generous support from each library’s Friends of the Library group, Northland Library Cooperative and the Mid-Michigan Library League.
