Bookstock Michigan - 2017

I was so excited to be in the loop and able to learn about Bookstock returning to Laurel Park Place (on 6 Mile Road east of I-275 in Livonia) in a couple weeks! This will be the first year I'm available to attend, and the kids and I are super excited to go stock up on books at great deal prices, while helping the community.

Bookstock’s back, offering incredible deals on used books and media Sunday, April 23 through Sunday, April 30 at Livonia’s Laurel Park Place.
