News From San Jose’s new library where six marathon readers were carving out their niche in the Guinness Book of World Records.
They ended Saturday afternoon, with Johnson’s recitation of King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, at 74 hours, 49 minutes and 37 seconds. The listed Guinness record is 53 hours and two minutes, set last December by a team from Italy, but a group of Germans is awaiting approval of its 61-hour mark.
The read-a-thon was meant to promote literacy and the reopening of the library.
