Book club will explore Abraham Lincoln’s presidency

This month, Hays Public Library will host a special Read2Reel featuring the book “Team of Rivals,” by Doris Kearns Goodwin, in honor of the traveling exhibit “Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War.”

Library - Hays 001

The book discussion will be lead by Dr. Cheryl Duffy of Fort Hays State University and will be followed by a screening of the movie “Lincoln.” The Read2Reel book club will meet at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Schmidt Gallery. Books can be picked up at the adult circulation desk any time prior to the program.

The National Constitution Center and the American Library Association Public Programs Office organized the traveling exhibition, which was made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The traveling exhibition is based on an exhibition of the same name developed by the National Constitution Center.

Read2Reel meets monthly on Tuesdays to discuss that month’s book and then watch the movie. Participants have a chance to win the movie after the meeting. For a complete Read2Reel booklist for 2014, call (785) 625.9014.
