“Big Read” audio guides available

The Big Read program offered by the National Endowment for the Arts has issued audio guides on compact disc. Wyoming’s Big Read selection was My Antonia by Willa Cather. There are audio guides for that book plus other titles too. The discs contain readings of excerpts and critical analysis. Some of the other audio guides include CD guides for The Grapes of Wrath, A Farewell to Arms, To Kill a Mockingbird, etc. They are shelved in your library’s audio department. Ask a librarian for help, because they may be shelved in a specific place. The call numbers are CDB 813 followed by an abbreviated title.
