From J-MRL:
From YOUTUBE VIDEO CONTEST!
All Branches
Now through February 22.
Are you a budding filmmaker? The Big Read is coming up this March and April, and the library is encouraging the community to read Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. Why not help us promote it by making a video? Get your filmmaking friends together and post your video on YouTube with the tag “JMRL_BigRead” by February 22. Winners will receive $300 in gift certificates toward electronic and video equipment, and the video will be aired on the J-MRL website. Look for more details online.
This program is open to kids and teens ages 12-18 who have a J-MRL library card (get one @ your library today – it’s FREE!).

I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird again for the Big Read at jmrl. I know I read it back in high school, but rereading it as an adult, and parent, makes it a completely different book.
My son is reading it this week for his English class and seems to be getting a lot out of it. When he’s done, I intend to re-read it. It’s a hard book not to love.
