One Book, One Community
For our 6th annual Community Read, we selected the young readers edition of The Wright Brothers by David McCullough. We purchased and gave away 500 copies of the book. The library and local businesses served as the pick-up points for the book. Programming for this year included a book discussion by Beth Christensen, speaker Arn Kind, and a viewing and discussion of the film The Technology of Kitty Hawk.
