Join the Reading Challenge at Octavia Fellin Library

5 Pulitzers in 5 Months!

To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Pulitzer Prize, Octavia Fellin Public Library is one of six libraries across New Mexico to partner with the New Mexico Humanities Council, bringing a very special reading grant to our communities.

We invite you to join us as we read and discuss five Pulitzer winning and nominated books beginning in May 2016.  

The novels chosen for this challenge are:
Beloved by Toni Morrison 
The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich
Lovely, Dark, Deep by Joyce Carol Oates 
The Stories of John Cheever 
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz 

Discussions will be held on the Tuesdays listed above in the Main Library Meeting Room. To reserve your place in the discussions and pick up a copy of the books visit the library beginning April 11th or contact us by phone: 505-863-1291. Registration for all groups begins Monday, April 11, 2016 at the Main Branch of the Library, 115 West Hill Avenue, Gallup, NM. Please stop by to fill out a signup form and receive your books and informational materials. 

Our facilitator for the discussions is Gallup resident Lynn Huenemann. Lynn is a former elementary, high school and college teacher in the fields of World Music, Cultural Studies and Education. He is a past faculty member of University of New Mexico, Diné College, and Arizona State University.
