The book has been chosen, many meetings have been held, letters have been sent out, phone calls made....and yet we're still not finished! What a huge undertaking, but what a great community wide program this will be.
An excerpt from the letter sent out to community partners, businesses, etc:
"Who reads anymore? Who cares whether people read or not? We do! And we think you care too. We are the Frankfort Community Public Library and the Clinton County Contractual Library. We want people to read more...The Frankfort Library is planning a Big Read where everyone in the county reads the same book at the same time. Big Read is a program sponsored by the National Endowment for the ARts, and they are offering grants of $10,000-$20,000 to libraries and other organizations interested in literacy to host such an event."
Have you committed to helping out with this event? WE NEED YOU!
