The 2015 Big Read at Cromaine Library kicks off tomorrow, Saturday, March 28, at 10:00 am at the Cromaine Library in Hartland. This is the library's seventh Big Read and we are VERY excited since this year we are able to bring author, Tobias Wolff, of the Big Read book "Old School" to Michigan. He'll speak Wednesday, April 22 at 7:00 pm at the Hartland Music Hall. Many thanks to our sponsors--National Endowment for the Arts and Arts Midwest, Friends of Cromaine Library, First National Bank, Hartland Area Chamber of Commerce, Meijer, Walmart, Ranger's 4-H, Livingston Daily and Marketing Impact/PrintComm. Tomorrow, not only will we give away about 250 copies FREE of "Old School" but we'll enjoy the music of the 1960s from our partners the Livingston Women's Chorus from 11:30-12:30. The nine winners of the Big Read Writing Contest will read their works aloud beginning at 10:00 am. And, you can really immerse yourself in the lighter parts of the 60s by playing Twister, Game of Life, painting a paint-by-number kit and dining on the beverage of the astronauts--TANG!--while enjoying appetizers that were faves--grape jelly meatballs, shrimp cocktail, asparagus roll-ups and more! Please be sure to check out our amazing line-up of events at www.cromaine.org. We are fortunate to have three MSU scholars coming--Kirsten Fermaglich to talk about name-changing in the 20th century on April 2, and Stephen Rachmann and Ann Larabee in the April 15 panel called "An Evening with Hemingway, Frost, and Ayn Rand"--right out of "Old School." M.L. Leibler and the "Beatles" will provide an exceptional evening April 17, also at the Hartland Music Hall, with a multimedia presentation (as only Leibler, slam poet and WSU prof can do). Need more info? Call us at 810-632-5200. Register for events at www.cromaine.org. We'd love to share this terrific series with you!
