[Ashley Biggs -LBPH-]

Hello everyone!

Just a reminder that The Maryland State Library for the Blind and
Physically Handicapped will be hosting a FREE teleconference on Monday, as
part of the One Maryland, One Book initiative by Maryland Humanities. All
are welcome to attend.

*Lead and Other Toxins in Maryland’s Waterways*
Monday, October 21 at 6:30 PM
TEL: (515) 604-9516, access code 202933

Ruth Ann Norton, President & CEO of the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative
<https://www.greenandhealthyhomes.org/>(GHHI), will speak about efforts in
Maryland to eliminate childhood lead poisoning and to create healthy, safe
and energy-efficient housing for America’s children. Ms. Norton is a
26-year Maryland leader on lead poisoning prevention. All are welcome to
join this teleconference: (515) 604-9516, access code 202933.

This event is part of the Maryland Humanities One Maryland, One Book
<https://www.mdhumanities.org/programs/one-maryland-one-book/> program.

The 2019 One Maryland One Book theme is “Nature.” Readers across Maryland
suggested 250 unique titles via email and the Maryland Center for the Book
Facebook page. From the top three, our committee selected *What the Eyes
Don’t See by Mona Hanna-Attisha* (DB 92227). The book chronicles Dr. Mona’s
relentless pursuit to uncover the contamination of Flint, Michigan’s
drinking water, which would lead to her testifying in front of Congress.

Best,

Ashley
