Delaware County Reads
Flags of Our Fathers
 Delaware
County Council in conjunction with the Delaware County
Library System (DCLS), and the Delaware County Community College
will team up to promote a countywide reading project called "Fall
for a Book" in Fall of 2007.
Based
on a "One Book, One Community" model, all county residents
are encouraged to read the same book and attend events based on
its topics. The 2007 book selection is Flags of Our Fathers
by James Bradley with Ron Powers.
The Fall
for a Book Committee has developed a discussion
guide for using Flags of Our Fathers in the classroom
or with a book group. (PDF document) Additional information can
be found on the DCCC
web site
Funding
provided by the Delaware County Library System and the Delaware
County Community College with additional grants from the Pennsylvania
Humanities Council and Neumann College
