The Neighborhood Library Association (NLA) is pleased to announce the selection of their eighth annual Community Reads book, Underground Airlines by Ben H. Winters. This chilling mystery-thriller is a powerful look at what might have been if the Civil War never happened, and illuminates the many ways life today is more like Winters’ alternative world than we may want to admit. Each of the six NLA libraries will host book discussions and book-related events, culminating in an author visit and – new this year – a wine reception on Friday, November 10 at Novi 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 these Community Reads events: African American Genealogy Research Thursday, Sept. 14 at 6:30 p.m. at Lyon Township Public Library; The Underground Railroad in Michigan Wednesday, Oct. 4 at 6:30 p.m. at Walled Lake City Library; Detroit in Crisis: The History of the 1967 Rebellion Wednesday, October 11 at 7 p.m. at Salem-South Lyon District Library; The Underground Railroad in Northville Wednesday, October 11 at 7 p.m. at Northville District Library; The Underground Railroad in Detroit Wednesday, October 25 at 6:30 p.m. at Wixom Public Library; and 13 th (Documentary Screening) Wednesday, Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. at Walled Lake City Library.
