Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet The Kansas City Metropolitan Library & Information Network’s Metro Area Reader’s Round Table Committee (MARRT) is excited to announce the 2010 United We Read selection, Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford.
Currently in our seventh year, United We Read is coordinated by the Kansas City Metropolitan Library & Information Network (KCMLIN) a multi-type library consortium serving over 200 library systems on both sides of the Missouri/Kansas state line. The goals of the program are to promote reading and literacy; build a community of readers; and broaden exposure to and appreciation for good literature.
The goal of United We Read is to encourage readers from all walks of life, from high school level through senior citizens, to read and discuss the themes within the book. Program organizers hope once again, members of book discussion groups, library clubs, churches, youth groups, corporate groups – any gathering of people, will connect over discussions of the United We Read book. Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet will be made available through the local libraries and area bookstores.
Everyone in the Kansas City Metropolitan Community is encouraged to read Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet during 2010. Area libraries and book stores will host book discussion groups. Libraries will provide information for community book clubs as well. We look forward to the opportunity to share this award winning title with the community.
