Reading program takes classics out of the library to readers

Instead of having discussions in the library, the library is bringing the book club to…Kispy Kreme. The story from AP:

“As the sleepy morning crowd shuffles up to the glass counter at the Krispy Kreme shop, a voice with a librarian’s lilt draws them away from the mouthwatering display of doughnuts.”

“Sitting at one of the plastic tables, a box of deep-fried goodies and a hot pot of coffee at hand, Sandy Lindley reads aloud from “To Kill a Mockingbird,” helping kick off a month’s worth of programs meant to take the classic novel where the readers are – retirement homes, downtown bars, museums and yes, even doughnut shops.”

“It’s awesome they’re doing this, because libraries have such a cold feel about them,” said Kelly Rothchild, 26, who stepped into the store Monday to get breakfast for her co-workers. “This brings it out to people.”
