Bookstock, the region’s largest charity book and media sale, will run from April 26 – May 3. Proceeds from the event go to support literacy and education projects throughout the Metro Detroit region. Detroit News columnist Neal Rubin and an honorary chairperson for the Bookstock joins Detroit Today Host Stephen Henderson to discuss the event and his latest column.

 

“What Bookstock does is get books out of people’s basements and onto other people’s laps, where they belong,” says Rubin.
