"The Big Read," according to the National Endowment for the Arts' mission statement, is a program, "designed to restore reading to the center of American culture." The San Leandro Library is a NEA grant recipient again this year, and the book they have selected is Sun, Stone and Shadows: 20 Great Mexican Short Stories, edited by Jorge Hernandez. If you were at last month's Readers Roundtable meeting, you had the opportunity to sign up for "The Big Read" and get your free copy of the book. If not, you can attend the Library's kickoff event tomorrow, Saturday, March 3, 2012, at 2:00 in the Karp/Estudillo rooms and hear readings from the story, "The Cooking Lesson," by Rosario Castellanos (both in English and in Spanish), see a cooking demonstration, enjoy some light refreshments, sign up for the program, and receive your free book.
We will be discussing Sun, Stone and Shadows at next week's Readers Roundtable. Be there or be cuadrado.
