Thomas C. Donnelly Library Las Vegas, NM

Thomas C. Donnelly Library, New Mexico Highlands University, located in Las Vegas, NM, is looking forward to beginning the Read Five in Five Months Pulitzer Prize reading challenge. This will be Donnelly Library’s fifteenth reading and discussion program. Previous reading groups at Donnelly Library have ranged in subject from American Civil War History to New Mexican Literature to Cancer Research. This is Donnelly’s first time partnering with the New Mexico Humanities Council on a reading and discussion series, and we hope to get many participants involved reading these compelling works of award winning fiction. 

The reading group facilitator is Brandon Kempner, associate professor of English at New Mexico Highlands University. Dr. Kempner teaches a variety of classes on American Literature. His research interests include 21^st century American literature, genre fiction, and zombies. 

Our current program, A Comedy, a Tragedy, and an Adaptation: A Shakespeare Reading and Discussion Group, will have its third and final meeting at 6:00 pm on April 7, 2016. At this meeting we will be discussing Tom Stoppard’s play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. New members are always welcome to join our lively discussions.
