Community read committee seeks book suggestions

The Community Reading Project committee is looking for a few good books.

Brian Jbara, director of Integrative Learning, said suggestions are welcome for books that address “big topics or issues.” The book chosen as the Community Reading Project must also be a current book and accessible to students and community members.

More information about CRP is online here; suggestions can be sent to [email protected] by November 1.

This year’s CRP selection is “Five Days at Memorial,” by Sheri Fink. A campus/community discussion is planned for October 23, 3-5 p.m., in the Kirkhof Center, room 2263. Students, faculty and staff members and community members will have an opportunity to discuss Fink’s book, which details five days at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans during 2005’s Hurricane Katrina.
