Plymouth City-Wide Book Read Event #1

Mon, 02/01/2010 - 7:00pm

The city of Plymouth will be kicking off their first ever city-wide book read with an event on Monday, February 1 at the Plymouth Historical Society.

The Plymouth Fine Arts Council has selected Michael Perry's book Population 485 as this year's selection for the event.

Population 485 is a humorous and thoughtful memoir of the author's experience as a volunteer firefighter, learning more about his home town while meeting his neighbors one siren at a time.  The Wisconsin State Journal called it "the best book about small-town life ever written."

The event on February 1 will feature Plymouth major Kelly Slavic. Attendees will be invited to tour the museum, sample old-time treats, and learn more about Plymouth's past.

This is the first of three events surrounding the city-wide book read. The other events are on Saturday, March 13 and Monday, April 19. More information about those two programs will be available soon.

Population: 485 (Paperback)
