Alpine Public Library Mystery Read Aloud Fundraiser, October 19 – October 24

DON’T FORGET!

THIS IS A FUNDRAISER FOR APL.

DONATE FOR YOU FAVORITE READER USING THE DONATE BUTTON.

During the week of October 19, National Friends of the Library Week, volunteer readers will read chapters from Elizabeth A. García’s One Bloody Shirt at a Time on the library’s YouTube channel. We chose this book because Ms. García was a longtime library supporter and a part-time local. Her mystery series is very popular among Tricounty residents, and we thought this would be a fitting tribute to her from the community that loved her.

This is a new fundraiser and format necessitated by the virus. We will kick off on Monday, October 19, with a live reading by SRSU President Pete Gallego from Front Street Books at 7:00 p.m. He will read the front matter and chapters 1 and 2. Tuesday through Friday, we will play recorded readings on the library’s YouTube channel from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Ronny Dodson will read the final chapter on Friday. On Saturday morning, October 24, we will have a children’s “hour” with children reading from an age-appropriate mystery.
