Corrected link: 2018 NLA Community Reads Book: The Poisoned City by Anna Clark
by Donna Olson 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

The Neighborhood Library Association (NLA) is pleased to announce the selection of their ninth annual Community Reads book, *The Poisoned City* by Anna Clark. A full account of the Flint, Michigan, water scandal, an American tragedy, from an award-winning Michigan journalist, Anna Clark, *The Poisoned City* recounts the gripping story of Flint’s poisoned water through the people who caused it, suffered from it, and exposed it. It is a chronicle of one town, but could also be about any American city, all made precarious by the neglect of infrastructure and the erosion of democratic decision-making. Each of the six NLA libraries will host book discussions and book-related events, culminating in an author visit at 7 PM Friday, November 9 at Wixom Public Library. Participating libraries are Lyon Township Public Library, Northville District Library, Novi Public Library, Salem-South Lyon District Library, Walled Lake City Library, and Wixom Public Library. Everyone is welcome to attend the Community Reads events: *Roger & Me (Documentary Screening)* Tuesday, September 25 at 6:30 p.m. at Walled Lake City Library; *Oakland County Water Infrastructure 101* Thursday, September 20 at 6:30 p.m. Novi Public Library; *The Flint Water Crisis & the Ongoing Struggle for Justice in Flint *Wednesday, October 10 at 7 p.m. at Salem-South Lyon District Library*; Flow: For the Love of Water: Documentary Screening *Wednesday, Oct. 24 at 6:30 p.m. at Walled Lake City Library; *The Flint River & the Drinking Water Crisis *Monday, October 29 at 7 p.m. at Northville District Library; *Meet the Author – Anna Clark * Friday, November 9 at 7:00 p.m. at Wixom Public Library.
