Plainsong by Kent Haruf
|
In December of 2001, the Kansas City Metropolitan
Community was asked to help select a book that would become the focus of our
community-wide reading project United We Read.
After narrowing the list down to two finalists,
Plainsong by Kent Haruf was selected as the choice for our
region.
We will kick-off United We Read on July 25, 2002. We
welcome individuals, schools, colleges, corporations, senior centers, book
clubs and libraries to join us as we read together this wonderful selection. If
you haven't read the book yet, please read it. If you have read it, pick it up
and read it again. And by all means, talk to your friends, family and neighbors
about what you read.
The goal of United We Read is to get our community
talking and communicating with one another. This book is a good catalyst to do
just that.
