Award-winning Author, Nancy Pearl, spoke at Onondaga County Library tonight to a full house of 'CNY Readers', and other interested participants.
Pearl gave her summer book recomendations, and some insight from her recent worldwide literature search. She was in town this week because she has been a guest lecturer at Syracuse University.
CNY Reads is a local initiative to get readers to read the same book, and discuss it monthly. The Onondaga County Library chooses a new title every month.
"The goal is to read the same book, and have a common subject to talk about. To engage with eachother, reachout, and have a commonality", says Kathy Osmond, spokesperson from the library.
CNY Reads is open to everyone, and the August read is "March" by Geraldine Brooks.
