Linn Area Reads is a community reading program featuring book discussions and related programs. This year's selection is "Righteous Porkchop: Finding a Life and Good Food Beyond Factory Farms" by Nocolette Hahn Niman. The Library will hold a series of book discussions starting with a kick-off party held at each metro library on March 1 at 6:30 pm. Each following Thursday in March join us at the Cedar Rapids Barnes & Noble for our book discussions, beginning March 8 at 6:30 pm. Join the discussion at http://linnareareads.blogspot.com

The first 12 people to attend the book discussion kick-off party on March 1 will receive a free copy of the book. Refreshments will be served. All are welcome!
