Book Beat held its 37th anniversary on Sunday, Aug. 18. We hosted local authors, with special guests Brian Paterson from the Bees in the D, and Chelsea Lisiecki from Carosello Farm and Steelhead Press brought native Michigan plants, heirloom varieties and hand-colored woodcuts. We also had a Seed Swap, Plant Exchange and book sale. It was a fun afternoon and we avoided the rain. Thank you to all the authors and book lovers who attended and continue to support Book Beat. We are here because of you! [All photos were taken by Karen Lloyd, (c) 2019
