Now that May is here, the Big Read 2008 (sponsored by the Hartford Public Library through a grant from the national Endowment for the Arts) is officially over. We plan to participate again next year when the selection will be Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird", so mark your calendars and start reading now if you want to get a head start! This was our first year as part of the Big Read and we offered several programs related to Dashiell Hammett's "The Maltese Falcon" and "noir" mysteries in general. Here is a breakdown of participation in this year's events:
Movie Day - "The Maltese Falcon" (Bogart) - 11 attendees
Murder at the Library - a murder mystery game - 19 participants
Book Discussion (Carole Shmurak) - 12 participants
Noir mystery display - we couldn't refill it fast enough!
We would like to thank everyone who joined in and read the book or attended a program. I hope that next year we will have even more people participating. If you have any suggestions or ideas for programming related to "To Kill a Mockingbird" please let me know. We LOVE suggestions!
