[Publib] big read

Mon Jun 29 08:35:42 EDT 2009

Cheri, we participated in the Big Read last year for the first time and 
presented a variety of programs during February.  The book we chose was 
"The Maltese Falcon". Please email if you would like more information on 
any particular event or samples of the brochures and signs. This year we 
are presenting "Call of the Wild".
Hope this helps, good luck!
