A selection of peace-related materials have been added to Alpena County Library’s collections in memory of a women known as a strong force and inspiration for world peace in the Alpena community and beyond. Sister Lisa Marie Lazio, who passed away Feb. 8, 2008, ran a city-wide peace vigil when the war in Iraq first started. A member of the Alpena Peace People Pax Christi since its inception, she presented a 30 Days of Peace concept to the group, then put her energy and effort into making it a local success. Sister Lisa Marie was the recipient posthumously of the Helen Casey Award for Non-Violent Conflict Resolution, an award given through the state-level Pax Christi, the Catholic peace movement. A portion of the $500 award was used by members of the Alpena Peace Coalition to purchase the peace-related books for the library. A special grand opening of this peace section will be celebrated July 8 at 3 p.m. at the library. Dinner will follow at 5 p.m.
