Dear Friends,
 
Over the weekend, we kicked off The Great American Read which is a literacy initiative that we are launching locally and nationally to select America’s favorite book! This is a television series as well as a community outreach effort and you will be hearing much more about it over the summer months. The series starts this week on-air as we introduce the top 100 books and we will collect votes all summer long until we narrow it down to the number one title in the fall.

Episode one of The Great American Read airs Tuesday night at 7PM and voting starts then as well. Watch with us and then let us know which books you plan to read this summer.

Keep watching,
Arthur
