The Association of Legal Administrators, Metropolitan Detroit Chapter will host its first ever “Book Swap” event on Wednesday, May 14, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Griffin Claw Brewery in Birmingham.
All are welcome to bring a book (nothing related to the legal field) and a friend.

There is no cost to attend but registration is requested to reserve enough space. To register, visit https://aladetroit.org
