Mackinac Island, Michigan is a beautiful place. You should all come here.
But, not right now.
It is still unseasonably cold and rainy, and many of the attractions are
still closed.
It’s still beautiful...but in that gray, cold, uncomfortably
Gothic kind of way.
This is my most favorite place here right now.
Yes. It really is
that color. And you can’t tell from the
picture, but its windows and doors open onto a lovely little stretch of sandy
beach, seconds from the water. (No
swimming, allowed, though - dangerous currents!)
This library has a small collection, just the right size for
its small population. But, it also has a
nice variety from local periodicals (the Mackinac Island Town Crier) to the big
names (Better Homes and Gardens) to even the speciality (Bon Appetit).
For the cost of $10 (as an out-of-stater), I quickly
procured a library card and checked out a book on the sights and history of
Mackinac Island and My Life in France
by Julia Child. I was back two days
later to check out
Ripe: A Fresh, Colorful Approach to Fruits and Vegetables.
A picturesque setting and access to a gloriously quaint library. I am living the charmed life.
