Seeley Lake Library news

SEELEY LAKE - Many of the residents of Missoula and surrounding areas will be reading the same book when the Big Read returns to the Missoula Public Library and its branches in October. The National Endowment for the Arts, in partnership with Arts Midwest, created the Big Read as a way to restore reading to the center of American culture.

The Big Read will feature Ursula K. Le Guin’s “A Wizard of Earthsea,” and the Little Read will feature Le Guin’s “Catwings.” Free copies of these books are available at the Seeley Lake Library.

The Seeley Lake Library will participate in the Big Read by offering patrons an opportunity to join in a discussion of “A Wizard of Earthsea” on Wednesday, Oct.17 at 11 a.m. This fantasy novel was published in 1968 and became the first in a series of six Earthsea titles. Le Guin has been described as a superb stylist with a knack for creating characters who are both wise and deeply humane. All are welcome to join in the discussion.

For more information about the Big Read go to readmissoula.org or call 677-8995.

The Seeley Lake Library is a branch of Missoula Public Library located at Seeley-Swan High School. The library is open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. and Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.
