[Michlib-l] Corrected link: 2018 NLA Community Reads Book: The Poisoned City by Anna Clark

[Donna Olson]

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.
