Berkeley county residents will share the joy of reading this winter as One Book Berkeley embarks on its inaugural community reading program. Marley and Me: life and love with the world's worst dog by John Grogan is the title of this year's book.
A series of programs and events, sponsored by the Friends of Berkeley County Library in conjunction with the Berkeley County Library, are planned for January and February 2008.
Marley and Me has been so popular since its publication in 2005 that a preteen version, Marley: A dog like no other, and a picture book version for younger children, entitled Bad Dog Marley, have been issued. So, readers of all ages can participate.
One of the goals of the One Book Berkeley reading campaign is to place a copy of Bad Dog Marley in each Berkeley County Kindergarten through Second grade classroom and individuals and businesses throughout the county are being asked to help make this a reality.
Look for more information about One Book Berkeley at the Berkeley County Library website www.berkeley.lib.sc.us.
