Discussion Questions for this event



July marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of To Kill a Mockingbird, one of the best-loved stories of all time and winner of the Pulitzer Prize. To celebrate its anniversary, we are inviting the community to read (or re-read) this classic, then to join us for a special event which will include courtroom re-enactments from the novel by special-guest speakers Judge Ariadne Symons and Public Defender Larry Biggam.
To Kill a Mockingbird will be discounted to the whole community at 10% off its cover price from June 21st until the July 20th meeting date (for those last minute readers!). We hope you’ll join us.
PS—There will be snacks and tea!!

One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than thirty million copies worldwide, served as the basis of an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father -- a crusading local lawyer -- risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
