Makenna Morse, aka Ms. Morse, was an inspirational English language arts teacher who was tragically killed in a car crash on April 21, 2024.
To continue her story, and that of other book lovers,
Makenna's Books collects book donations for Little Free
Libraries across Michigan in memory of the literary fans who
are no longer with us. Nearly 3,000 books have been donated
and delivered so far!
November 29, 2026 would have been Makenna’s 29th Birthday. In her honor, and in alignment with Small Business Saturday, we'll be supporting our beloved, locally owned and independent book stores.
We will be collecting book donations at these amazing small businesses November 27-29, 2026 store visitors may enter to win a $25 gift certificate to their store! (no purchase necessary)
An option to label donated books with a custom memorial sticker honoring your loved one will be available at each location.
