The Big Read is Almost Over...
As we enjoy our final few book discussions and look forward to our culminating event, Thursday's visit by Mary "Scout" Badham, those of us at the library have been thinking about some of our favorite literary memories. Whether it was being tucked in while our parents read The Lord of the Rings trilogy or remembering the first time we finished a chapter book by ourselves, no one can deny the special place books and words have in our lives and the lives of our children. Beyond the lessons of acceptance and tolerance To Kill a Mockingbird teaches, reading one book as a community reminds us of the power of words, the value of shared experience and the importance of people coming together to reaffirm the importance of these ideals.
