Image of the Day: Michigan Tote Bags

The idea began at Winter Institute a couple of years ago, when a group of Michigan booksellers got together. Sue Boucher of Cottage Book Shop in Glen Arbor noted that local knitting shops had put together a passport to encourage people to visit all their stores. That idea morphed into a bag to promote bookstore tourism in Michigan. After another meeting in January, Boucher had the bags designed and printed in Glen Arbor.The bags, listing 14 stores on the back, with a map on the front, will be available for purchase at Michigan stores on Independent Bookstore Day.
