Join us in the statewide 2012 Kansas Reads.. Our Boys.  Books  are available for check out January 27- March 17, 2012.  The discussion for this book will be on  March 8 @ 7:00pm.

   The Kansas Center for the Book at the State Library of Kansas is proud for the sixth year to present 2012 Kansas Reads…Our Boys, an inspiring story about how a coach and a small town build young people with the basic values of love, patience, and hard work, a vivid slice of American life.

    Books were recommended by a committee of experienced and qualifiedlibrarians, educators, and authors to fit the theme “Community”.  Our Boys: A Perfect Season on the Plains with Smith Center Redmen by Joe Drape fit this theme and was selected by the State Librarian for its broad-based appeal that encourages and sustains spirited discussion about how small communities that expect to grow need something special, which can take many forms, including a high school football team.
