One Book, One Bakersfield, One Kern has announced the Fall 2012 book will be “The House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros. What do you think? Have you read it before, or will this be your first time? What are your thoughts going into the read? The themes seem to echo many that our youth here in Kern County face as they grow up — regardless of race or ethnicity. (Although the book will certainly resonate with our 40 percent Latino population.) Please feel free to post your thoughts in the comment field below.
Hello,
We are in the process of launching our first ever “One Book, One Campus, One Community,” and are beginning with “The Other Wes Moore.” I’ve noticed that you’ve used this book before for this program and was wondering if your university had copies that they were no longer using that they would be willing to donate. Anything that you can contribute would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration,
