Ashley Street Books & Film

Angelica Facey
Jonathan Rule
Nestled among Ann Arbor’s charming downtown buildings, Ashley Street Books & Film celebrates the relationship between the art of the written word and the magic behind moving pictures. Since the introduction of cinema in the 1800s, books have been brought to life on the big screen. Bibliophiles and movie-goers alike have flocked from bookstores to movie theaters. However, with the advent of streaming platforms and e-books, movies and books are now consumed within the bounds of our portable devices. Ashley Street Books & Film revives the experience of literature and film under one roof. Read, watch…it’s your adventure.
