Curtis Chin is planning a visit to Adrian District Library at 6 p.m. Oct. 30.

The author's memoir — "Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant" — has been selected as the 2025-26 Great Michigan Read. The book explores Chin's experiences growing up as a gay Chinese-American in Detroit.

The author event at ADL is part of the Great Michigan Read Fall Tour. Copies of the book will be available for $19.99, with cash or card.

Before the end of October, ADL will offer a kit for local community partners, including book clubs, with several copies of the book, conversation starters and promotional materials.
