[Michlib-l] Great Michigan Read: free books, materials, and upcoming events

[Katie Wittenauer]

Good morning, Michigan library community --

Interested in offering What the Eyes Don't See, by Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, as a featured book club title or community read? As part of the current Great Michigan Read program (extended through early 2021), we still have free copies of the book available, as well as the accompanying reader's guides, teacher's guides, and promotional materials. Need additional funding for your GMR-related programming? We are still offering grants of up to $750 that can be used for speakers' stipends, additional materials such as e-book or audiobooks, and traveling exhibits.

Registration to be a Great Michigan Read partner is free, and available here<https://www.michiganhumanities.org/become-a-2019-20-great-michigan-read-partner/>.
