Yesterday at the Inter-High Student Council meeting, Laurie Torrell from the Just Buffalo Literary Center spoke with us about The Big Read. The Big Read is a program promoting reading that is supported by the NEA. The book for the month of February is To Kill A Mockingbird. Ms. Torrell said that they had roughly 2000 books to give away for it, though about 1500 had been spoken for. If anyone is interested, there are (hopefully) 500 copies of the book, a print reader's guide, and an audio guide. So if you are interested and act fast you may be able to participate in this year's program.
Any further information you might need would be available on the Just Buffalo website. Pretty easy to find, but here's a link.

That's cool. I really want to do this one of these years. Now is obviously not the one as that book is more 9-10. We'll have to keep watch. Great that an organization is committed to giving out books.
I would like to be more active with programs like this. Didn't Mia participate last year? I think she did and enjoyed it.
