The Big Read: New Hampshire Reads Fahrenheit 451 is a project of the Center for the Book at the New Hampshire State Library, in partnership with the New Hampshire Humanities Council, the New Hampshire Department of Cultural Resources, and over 60 libraries, schools, and bookstores throughout the state.  This project is part of The Big Read, a national initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts, in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and Arts Midwest that encourages citizens to join together as a community to read and discuss a single book for pleasure and enlightenment.

The Chesley Memorial Library will be participating in the statewide Big Read by inviting local teachers and librarians to discuss "What books would you save?"  We invite members of our community to join us at the library on Tuesday, October 16, at 7:00 p.m.  Multiple copies of the book are now available.  Call 942-5472 for more information.
