PICKFORD — For novelist Sue Harrison of Pickford, this summer translates into book bliss. Between the final week of May and mid-September, Harrison is scheduled to tour eight libraries and a learning center in various towns in the Upper Peninsula region to participate in workshops, book signing events and story reading sessions for kids.

The summer book tour for Harrison started Wednesday at the Pickford Community Library, where Harrison engaged with readers in discussion, followed by a Q & A session about her latest novel, “Rescuing Crash, the Good Dog” (Modern History Press, 2025).
