<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial">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 <i>The Paris Wife</i> and <i>Circling the Sun</i>.</span></p>

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.</span></p>
