2010 plans

Wondering what this fall’s One Book, One Valley book will be? So do we, but plans will be in the works soon.

Do you love community reads? Consider joining in the Big Read NH program in March 2010–reading groups around the state, including several One Book, One Valley libraries and bookstore, will be reading and discussing “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

Theme: homelessness

Those of you who have started reading The Double Bind know that one major theme in the book is homelessness. We’ve just added a link to Tri-County CAP Homeless Programs, http://www.tccaphomeless.org/, a service organization serving this area. In addition, an informational program about the challenges of homelessness in rural areas is in the works. According to Joie Finley Morris at Tri-County CAP Homeless Programs, Carroll County has one Homeless Outreach Worker and is the only county in NH without any homeless shelters.
