This year the Library received a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts Big Read program for a community-wide read of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. We are partnered with UMass Boston’s Healey Library and WUMB-FM, Newburyport Literary Association, and the Silver Lake School and Gallery in the grant. Our events will include a visit by Charles Shields, author of Mockingbird, the biography of Harper Lee. We will also focus on North Attleboro in the ’30s with a music of the ’30s event. Other activities are still in the works.
We are encouraging groups around town to participate in book discussions. We will provide guides courtesy of the NEA. If anyone has ideas for other programs, please contact Maggie at the library.
