Books to Bridge 2011
During the month of October, the Jasper County Public Library will be participating in “Books to Bridge the Region,” a reading initiative that will encourage residents of all ages throughout parts of Northwest Indiana to read selected titles and share their reading experiences with one another. Other participating counties in the area include Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Pulaski, and Starke.
“Learning From the Past; Empowering Our Future” is the theme for this year’s reading initiative. Throughout the month, adults are invited to read Hart’s War by John Katzenbach, children and teens are invited to read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne and the chosen title for preschoolers and young children is Boxes for Katje by Candace Fleming.
The books chosen for this program all share a common theme, and each library will hold special programs related to the selected titles. Special events and programs include book discussions at each branch of JCPL and other related programs for each age group.
