Gulf Coast Reads @ Baldwin Boettcher

Submitted by Elise S. [1] on Tue, 09/18/2012 - 1:37pm

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close [2]People across greater Houston are reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,  [2]by Jonathan Safran Foer.  This acclaimed novel is the 2012 choice for Gulf Coast Reads, [3] a series of programs aiming to get Houstonians on the same page for enlightening discussions of a single book. 

Baldwin Boettcher Branch will host a discussion of the novel on Monday, October 1, at 6:30 pm; a screening of the movie [4] on Saturday, October 13, at 1:00 pm (with discussion to follow); and a food drive -- this relates to the book's theme -- the week of  October 15 - 20.  We hope you will join us! 

Copies of the book are currently available at the library.  For more information about the programs, please call 281-821-1320.
