Fans of the Tompkins County Public Library’s Facebook page will have an opportunity to turn their knowledge of this year’s Community Read into prizes when the Library launches Community Read Trivia Monday, August 8.
Facebook fans who have read this year’s Community Read---“Homer and Langley” by E.L. Doctorow---should visit the Library’s Facebook page on August 8 and August 22 to test their book knowledge by answering that day’s trivia question. Winners will receive a $50 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble.
“Homer and Langley” is based on the now-folkloric lives of the Collyer brothers, whose bodies were found in 1947 amidst 100-ton of refuse---including newspapers, preserved human organs and a Model T Ford---in their Fifth Avenue brownstone. “Homer and Langley” offers readers a fictionalized glimpse inside the Collyer brother’s home and an intimate, though imagined, look at their bond.
For more information, contact Sarah Glogowski, Community Read coordinator, at sglogowski@tcpl.org or (607) 272-4557 extension 255.
The 2011 Community Read is made possible with support from Cornell University and the Brooks Family Foundation.
