Makenna's Books is an organization created by her family, giving neighbors a chance to donate books in honor of loved ones who have passed away.
Over the weekend, Makenna's Books partnered with six local bookstores across our neighborhoods for a Small Business Saturday book drive.
Since Makenna's Books started, more than 2,000 books have been collected, and donated to more than 200 Little Free Libraries across Michigan.
