The Big Picture: Three Cups of Tea
Have you read “Three Cups of Tea“? Do current events have you curious about the history and culture of Pakistan and Afghanistan? The Reading Public Library presents “The Big Picture: A Family Experience” – a comprehensive list of resources for the whole family to explore and enjoy.
In addition to a display on the main floor of the library, the staff has put together a series of media lists for children, teens and adults. Resources include books, videos, music and web sites related to the bestselling book by Greg Mortensen, “Three Cups of Tea.”
The Big Picture: A Family Experience is a new topic-based program designed encourage families to share experiences across a variety of ages, developmental stages and learning styles.
