Readings, gatherings

A couple of events listed below (I used to teach and take classes at EMU in case you were wondering how I came across this). Annie Horvath runs a local writer's group in Plymouth that meets at a coffee house there. She has attended a couple of events here at the library to support our efforts and would love to have any of the Westland writers come to their events. Steven Dolgin, editor of The MacGuffin at Schoolcraft College, is their featured writer in March (not sure about February listed below).
