Books You Have Always Meant to Read

http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20121019/BLOG5201/121009908

Books You Have Always Meant to Read is a program at the Everett Public Library in Washington state. What a great way to get people re-discovering books! I like this idea especially because I have a looooong list myself of books that I have been meaning to read. Maybe I'll finally get to them after I finish library school??
