Chesley Memorial Library
The
Chesley Memorial Library is pleased to announce that during March
2010 we will be part of The Big Read: New Hampshire Reads To Kill A
Mockingbird. This is a statewide project of the Center for the Book
at the NH State Library which will include hundreds of “Big Read”
events throughout the state.
The
Chesley Memorial Library and the Blaisdell Memorial Library will
hold a joint Southern Comfort potluck supper and book discussion at
the Masonic Hall in Northwood on Saturday, March 27, at 6:00 p.m.
The
Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts
(NEA) that gives communities the opportunity to come together and
read, discuss and celebrate one of 30 selections from U.S. and world
literature. In New Hampshire, the program is organized by the Center
for the Book at the New Hampshire State Library, which received a
grant to coordinate the statewide effort. The Center for the Book
chose to focus on To Kill A Mockingbird because of its relevant
themes of standing up for what is right, relationships between the
races, courage, justice and more.
The
Center for the Book at the New Hampshire State Library is one of 268
nonprofits nationwide - including libraries, municipalities and
arts, culture and science organizations - to receive a grant to host
a Big Read project in this grant round. In 2007, its program “The
Big Read: New Hampshire Reads Fahrenheit 451” was only one of two
statewide Big Read programs focusing on a single book.
For
more information about The Big Read: New Hampshire Reads To Kill A
Mockingbird, visit
www.BigReadNH.org.
The
Center for the Book at the New Hampshire State Library was
established in 2003 to celebrate and promote reading, books,
literacy and the literary heritage of New Hampshire, and to
highlight the role that reading and libraries play in enriching the
lives of the people of the Granite State. It is an affiliate of the
Center for the Book at the Library of Congress.
The NEA, which
designed The Big Read as a way to restore reading to the center of
American culture, presents the program in partnership with the
Institute of Museum and Library Services and in cooperation with
Arts Midwest. Support for the Big Read is provided by the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation. Transportation for The Big Read is provided by
Ford.
