The Libraries of Greater Kansas City (Kansas City Kansas, Kansas City, North Kansas City, Olathe, Johnson County and Mid-Continent public libraries) are kicking off The Big Read on Saturday, April 4, 1-3 p.m., at The Legends at Village West (I-435 and I-70 in Kansas City, Kansas). We’ll have ’60s music from the Krazy Kats, and Books.A.Million is having a book fair. A portion of the proceeds from the book fair will go to promote literacy in Kansas City. This year’s The Big Read selection is Old School, by Tobias Wolff. Participating libraries will have information available about special Old School programs. Find out where to go to join a community discussion about the novel after you’ve read it. Listen in each weekday at 11:30 a.m. as KKFI 90.1 FM broadcasts Old School read aloud by local celebrities and dignitaries beginning April 6.
