UWW & surrounding communities are taking part in “The Big Read” featuring the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Events are scheduled throughout April at sites such as local libraries and museums, and in the UWW’s Young Auditorium. See the blog http://youngauditorium.wordpress.com/
Andersen Library has the Oscar and Golden Globe-winning movie (2nd-floor Browsing DVD, Feature Film Collection) and will show it on the 2nd floor on April 1st. The novel is available in Andersen Library’s 3rd-floor Main Collection (PS3562 .E353 T6).
Free copies of a reader’s guide, bookmarks, and an audio guide CD will be distributed starting April 1st. Andersen Library also is raffling off 5 free t-shirts — drop off your name and contact info at the Circulation Desk for the drawing.
More information about author Harper Lee, along with an analysis of her novel, is available via the MagillOnLiterature database, and there are many other relevant resources in the Library, such as an early review in the New York Times (July 13, 1960, p.33) available from the ProQuest Historical Newspapers database. Please ask a librarian for assistance in finding additional information.
Congrats to the t-shirt winners.
