Where Do You Get Your Drinking Water? Will It Always Be There?2019-02-18T19:00:00If you live in the Great Lakes State, you may think that access to fresh drinking water will always be available. New research indicates this may not necessarily be true. Learn about the natural and human-induced factors that are contributing to declining water levels in the natural water storage systems (aquifers) that are located deep underground in West Michigan and used by many people as their primary source of drinking water. This presentation will make you think twice about using fresh drinking water to get that green lawn you always thought you needed.
Come share in a unique opportunity for residents and business owners in West Michigan! This presentation will allow you to learn more about our groundwater system and the importance of managing our water resources in a more sustainable manner. To learn more, please visit www.miottawa.org/groundwater.

Evening Adult Book Discussion: "That Kind of Mother"2019-02-27T18:30:00Join us for a monthly book discussion! February's book is "That Kind of Mother" by Rumaan Alam. Books can be picked up at the circulation desk ahead of time, and all are welcome!
"Like many first-time mothers, Rebecca Stone finds herself both deeply in love with her newborn son and deeply overwhelmed. Struggling to juggle the demands of motherhood with her own aspirations and feeling utterly alone in the process, she reaches out to the only person at the hospital who offers her any real help—Priscilla Johnson—and begs her to come home with them as her son’s nanny.
Priscilla’s presence quickly does as much to shake up Rebecca’s perception of the world as it does to stabilize her life. Rebecca is white, and Priscilla is black, and through their relationship, Rebecca finds herself confronting, for the first time, the blind spots of her own privilege. She feels profoundly connected to the woman who essentially taught her what it means to be a mother...
