ALPENA The Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library is pleased to share that last April’s canceled Michigan Humanities Council Great Michigan Read event has been rescheduled.
The library is pleased to welcome Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha for a virtual visit to Alpena at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 6 to discuss her book “What the Eyes Don’t See,” a powerful first-hand account of the Flint water crisis, the signature environmental disaster of our time, and a riveting narrative of personal advocacy.
Selected as the 2019-20 Great Michigan Read title, “What the Eyes Don’t See” is also the story of how science and determination helped expose the severity of the situation, forcing the government to address the damage being done to the residents of Flint.
