Double your
pleasure; double your fun! Reading pleasure and fun, that is.
Beginning in
2012, we will present programming related to books by these 2 authors,
with a particular focus on "March” by Geraldine Brooks and
“Confederates in the Attic” by Tony Horwitz. We will buy multiple
copies of “March” and “Confederates in the Attic”
and encourage Chelmsford to read these 2 books (and then jump into some
of the other great books these authors have written). Both "March”
and “Confederates in the Attic" have Civil War themes, and
in 2011, America marked the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil
War. It just seems so appropriate that we start with these 2 books! You can read about these authors and their books at their websites: http://geraldinebrooks.com and http://tonyhorwitz.com Add these dates to your calendar now!
