Canyon Lake Reads Runs Through March
Share
Friends of Tye Preston Memorial Library sponsors Canyon Lake Reads, a month of Texas-themed events including campfire stories, a musical performance, a trip to the Bob Bullock Museum, square dancing and a barbecue dinner.
The month-long program centers around News of the World, by Paulette Jiles. In the novel, an aging itinerant news reader agrees to transport a young captive of the Kiowa back to her people. The book explores the boundaries of family, responsibility, honor and trust.
