Project Read One Book

Via project coordinator April Wallace:

Project Read programs just wrapped up for the Spring 2011 selection. Thank
you to all of the libraries who were able to participate. There were a lot
of really creative programs! I know our book group really enjoy meeting
at the Irondale Cafe.


I want to remind everyone to keep PROB in mind when planning your fall
programming. Our fall selection is Leaving Gee’s Bend by Irene Latham.
This is technically a Young Adult title, so programming could be geared
towards adults or teens. Libraries could possibly collaborate with area
schools, as well.


Program Ideas for Leaving Gee’s Bend:
- Show the documentary “The Quiltmakers of Gee's Bend”
- Quilting programs


The author has several downloadable tools (Gee’s Bend Discussion Guide,
Literature Circle Questions, Activities) on her website
(http://www.irenelatham.com).


Let me know if you have any questions!


Thanks,
April
