The purpose of a community-wide reading event, or Big Read, is for people in the same community to read one book and discuss it.  The Library has chosen The Double Bind for its first community read because it's a real page turner, because it uniquely weaves a gripping present day story with Great Neck and Great Gatsby themes, because it is accessible to a wide range of readers, and because it is well written.  The Library is here to help you find the book, discuss the book, and organize activities that will enhance your personal experiences with the book. To find out more about any Great Neck Reads event, call 466-8055, extension 202.

Discount copies of The Double Bind are on sale for $13.00 at all Great Neck Library locations.  Other places to buy The Double Bind include Great Neck Reads co-sponsor Barnes and Noble Manhasset (1542 Northern Boulevard - 365-6723), and Barnes and Noble Lake Success (Lake Success Shopping Center on Union Turnpike - 437-0324).  You can also buy The Double Bind from Amazon.com.
