Taelen Thomas, portraying Jack London, will appear to tell tales of the dog, Buck, from Call of the Wild. Taelen will be accompanied by a Samoyed, to add a touch of dog authenticity. Join us in front of our fireplace in our Main Reading Room to hear stirring tales of adventure. This event is appropriate for all ages. This event is part of The Big Read.Sponsored by The National Endowment for the Arts.
The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts designed to revitalize the role of literary reading in American popular culture. Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in America, a 2004 NEA report, identified a critical decline in reading for pleasure among American adults. The Big Read addresses this issue by bringing communities together to read, discuss, and celebrate books and writers from American and world literature.
The Carmel Public Library Foundation provides funds for all of the Library's acquisitions, collections, services, equipment, archives, and public programs for children, adults, and seniors. While the City of Carmel funds Library salaries and building maintenance, it is private contributions to the Library Foundation that provide the rest. The Carmel Public Library Foundation has its annual campaign in progress to raise funds for free public programming.
