In honor of the last week of The Big Read program you can enter your name in a lottery to win two great prizes:
- a copy of the Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson, with a preface by Billy Collins
- a t-shirt from award-winning American artist Lesley Dill
Come by the Library and put your name in the jar--it's in front of the Reference Office. While you're there, be sure to take a selfie with Emily!
From The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, 1960.

A BOOK
HE ate and drank the
precious words,
|
|
His
spirit grew robust;
|
|
He
knew no more that he was poor,
|
|
Nor
that his frame was dust.
|
|
He
danced along the dingy days,
|
5
|
And
this bequest of wings
|
|
Was
but a book. What liberty
|
|
A
loosened spirit brings!

Many Thanks to Ms. Stacey Thornberry who wrote the grant to bring The Big Read to BSC.
