First observed in 1958, National Library Week (NLW) celebrates the contributions of libraries and library staff members to their communities. READ posters celebrate the importance of reading and literacy. So, the two make a great combination.
In 2010, the library's READ posters featured Dr. Dottavio and the Purple Poo. In 2011, they featured ROTC cadets and the Tarleton Players. This year the library's READ posters will again feature people and/or groups representing Tarleton's rich history. Can you guess who's featured this year?
You don't have long to wait for an answer. On Wednesday, April 11 at 3 p.m. the 2012 READ posters will be unveiled in the Dick Smith Library lobby. Refreshments will be served after the unveiling.
