Library Offers Exciting Program for Book Clubs

Tell Me About a Book!
A Summer Reading program for Adult Book Clubs
June 2-July 28, 2007

Your book club can win prizes, meet bestselling authors, and obtain resources to promote reading, sharing, and lively debate. Register to win at any Library location each time your group reads and discusses a book.

One book club per branch will:

Win a Book Club in a Bag with books and resources to help your book club share thoughts and opinions.
Win a personalized READ Poster, similar to the Denzel Washington and Orlando Bloom posters you see at many libraries.
Win tickets to attend a BOOK CLUB EXTRAVAGANZA on Saturday, August 25 (up to 10 members per club). The half-day event features best-selling authors for the free luncheon, keynote address and conference calls. The Extravaganza also includes workshops, door prizes and giveaways. Book Clubs who won either the Book Club in a Bag or the Read Poster will still be eligible to win tickets to the Extravaganza.

Tell Me A Book! is made possible by a grant from Mid South Reads and The Assisi Foundation.
