Mark your calendar: 'Maltese Falcon' kick-off
In case you are wondering, Deborah Clark, I'm on page 16.The library director likes to ask everyone what page they're on when the Big Read program starts. This year's reading initiative is on Dashiell Hammett's "Maltese Falcon" and the Biane Library will be hosting a kick-off event 7 p.m. Friday. You can find out more about the program and what other cities are reading in David Allen's column tomorrow.
There will be music, food, crafts and a "Maltese Falcon" treasure hunt for the children. Mystery writer Anne Perry will give a talk and sign books.
Tickets are free and available at both libraries. For more info, call (909) 477-2720 ext. 5007 or 5076.
I enjoyed the book! (Read it for the first time and just finished.)
The library just put up an interesting Website with more info: http://www.rcpl.lib.ca.us/BigRead08/index.htm
