Big Read brings Ray Bradbury to town
Hoping to gain extra credit, I started reading "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" this week, ahead of the Big Read kickoff on April 10. I was pleased to find that the copy a friend loaned me had plenty of pictures.
The library will hold a reading initiative centered around the Mark Twain novel next month. This year marks the beloved author's 175th birthday.
A Mark Twain impersonator will lead a kickoff event from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Biane Library. On that day, you can pick up free tickets to see Ray Bradbury, who is coming to the city as part of the Big Read. The "Fahrenheit 451" author will give a speech at 7 p.m. on April 16.
There will also be a number of Little Read activities aimed at younger readers. The Tom Sawyer Fence Art Project will give students a chance to decorate a section of Tom's fence. The pieces will be joined together and displayed at the library in the month of April. Creative excuses to get out of this project may count as extra credit.
