CITYWIDE READS PROGRAM
The Citywide Reads program encourages
people who live, work in or visit Santa
Monica to read the same book and come
together to discuss it in book clubs and
other special events
held citywide. Our 2010 selection
was Chris Cleave's Little Bee.
Suggestions for our 2011 selection are
being solicited now until May 30 at
www.smpl.org/cwr. |
