Save the Dates for an All-Community Read and Nature Series We are excited to be part of the National Endowment for the Arts, Arts Midwest and New Hampshire Humanities Big Read of The Bear by Andrew Krivak of Massachusetts and Jaffrey, NH. The novel is called a “beautiful and elegant … gem” by Publishers Weekly “exploring a world at the end of humanity. The last two humans on Earth—a father and daughter—live off the land at the foot of a mountain, learning to live alongside the rhythms of a world reclaimed by nature.” Given the author’s home in Jaffrey and the descriptions, it is assumed the mountain in the novel is Mount Monadnock. We are offering free books provided through the grant, an evening to discuss the book and several outdoor programs with our community partner, Kim Cote. The NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. Communities throughout the state are participating in this program.
