This sounds like my kind of summer activity! I wish my local library would do something like this. It sounds perfectly lovely.

Agh! I’m in Alabama! This — this is really exciting. Usually, whenever I hear “Alabama” in national or international news, I get really scared about what they might say next. Racism? Illiteracy? Rednecks? (All of which are used to some extent to keep tourists away. (Okay. Maybe not— but it’s fun to tell myself that.))
And then this?
BOOM, BABY!
Not only can people in Alabama read, but we read Jane. Austen.
And guess who doesn’t have a job and might be able to attend? Oh, the up side of being unemployed.
