Community Reads Together
Copies of Something for the Pain are available at the Medical Center Library!
Durham County Library has selected "Something for the Pain" by Durham resident Dr. Paul Austin for Durham Reads Together 2009, the library's bi-annual community-wide reading event. The book, which Library Journal calls "a definite page-turner and a riveting debut," is a deeply-felt and deftly rendered first-person account of the life of an ER doctor.
Durham County Library encourages everyone to read the book in preparation for programs and events (listed online) throughout the month of October. Durham Reads Together will conclude with a Meet the Author event on Sunday, November 1 at 3:00 pm at the Doris Duke Center in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, 426 Anderson St., Durham. All Durham Reads Together programs are free and open to the public. For more information about the book, the author, and events and programs, visit www.durhamcountylibrary.org/drt. Durham Reads Together 2009 is sponsored by the Friends of the Durham Library.
With support from the Friends of the Durham Library, Durham County Library has purchased more than 200 additional copies of Something for the Pain to ensure that the book circulates easily throughout the community.
Now that the title has been announced, everyone in Durham - individuals, community organizations, businesses, book groups, high school and college students, healthcare workers and members of the faith community - is encouraged to read and discuss the book, and attend programs in October.
This is the third Durham Reads Together project coordinated by the Durham County Library. In 2005 the book featured was James McBride's The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother. In 2007 Durham Reads Together featured Darcy Frey's The Last Shot.
Durham County Library provides the entire community with books, services and other resources that inform, inspire learning, cultivate understanding and excite the imagination. For more information about the library, visit us online at www.durhamcountylibrary.org
