Welcome!
Read along with this year's Breakfast Serial
For the third year, Centre Country Reads is sponsoring a "Breakfast Serial", a serialized novel
that appears each week in the Centre Daily Times.
"Janko and the Giant: A Tale of Old Slovakia" is a family-friendly adventure tale that is appearing
each Saturday from June 1 through July 20,
2008. We invite all county residents to read along each week
with your children.
This tale is by Joseph Bruchac, a well-known author whose many books about fables and legends can be found in libraries and stores. However, "Janko and the Giant"
is only available through this book serial program.
See The Breakfast Serials page about the tale.
Talk with us on the CCR blog
Dotty Delafield and Pat Griffith—both librarians and Centre County Reads
officers—are blogging about the CCR activities at the Centre Daily Times website.
Pat and Dottie are making book suggestions for summer reading and would like
hear what you're reading too. Join the discussion at

 The
2008 read is over… but don't let that stop you!
This year's read was held January 20 thru March 2, but if you missed it, we encourage you
to read When the Emperor was Divine, Julie Otsoku's moving novel about a Japanese family
entering the American internment camps.
More: Where to get the book, plus a recap of events, an audio review of the
novel, and more.
