THOMAS BRANIGAN MEMORIAL LIBRARY
“2016 Reading Challenge - Read 5 Pulitzers in 5 Months!”
New Mexico Humanities Council and Selected Libraries Across the State of New Mexico will be celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Pulitzer Prizes. Thomas Branigan Library is one of six libraries across the state and many around the country hosting special programs to commemorate the event.
We invite you to join in and be part of the celebration! We will read and discuss one Pulitzer (either a finalist or prize-winner) novel each month. These novels represent different historical periods, regions and cultures, but all of them reveal meaningful perspectives on ourselves, our own culture and the world we live in.
The titles we will be discussing:
April 14 - “Beloved”- Toni Morrison
May 12 – “The Stories of John Cheever” - John Cheever
June 9 – “The Plague of Doves” - Louise Erdrich
July 14 – “Lovely, Dark, Deep” - Joyce Carol Oates
August 18 – “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” - Junot Diaz
The discussions will be held on Thursdays at 2:00pm in the library board room.
Reserve your place in the discussions and pick up a copy of the books by contacting the Reference Department @ 575/528-4005 or email library.reference@las-cruces.org. #Pulitzer100
This is very exciting!
