LIVONIA, Mich. — Residents across Livonia can look forward to a full week of community programming, public meetings, and seasonal events as the city heads deeper into spring. From literary discussions and city governance to live entertainment and historical dining experiences, the week of April 6 through April 11 offers something for every interest.

The week begins Monday, April 6, with a strong focus on community learning and engagement. At Carl Sandburg Library, readers will gather for “First Monday Memoirs: I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings”, a discussion centered on Maya Angelou’s acclaimed autobiography. The event is expected to draw local book lovers and community members interested in thoughtful conversation around one of America’s most celebrated literary works.

Also on Monday, Bennett Civic Center Library will host its Silent Book Group, offering a quieter alternative to traditional book clubs. Participants can bring their current read, enjoy a calm communal setting, and share recommendations with fellow readers.

Families are also marking their calendars for the start of Playground Program Registration, opening Monday for Livonia residents both online and in person. The seasonal program is a popular offering for local children and families looking ahead to spring and summer recreational activities.

On Tuesday, April 7, the literary momentum continues with the Positive Pages Book Group at Bennett Civic Center Library, another opportunity for residents to connect through reading and discussion.

Wednesday, April 8, will be a significant day for local government. The 2038th City Council Regular Meeting is scheduled for the City Hall Auditorium, followed by a City Council Study Meeting later the same day. These meetings typically address city business ranging from development proposals and municipal services to budget discussions and resident concerns.

The city’s social scene picks up Thursday evening as JoyRiders Live takes the stage at O’Malleys, promising live music and a lively atmosphere for residents looking to enjoy a night out.

Saturday, April 11, closes the week with a diverse lineup of events across the city.
