The Guttman Library also offers free copies of Luiselli’s book to all Guttman students, faculty, and staff (while supplies last!). These free copies were made possible thanks to a humanities grant funded by the National Endowment of the Humanities and the American Library Association. The Guttman Library was one of 200 libraries that the NEH/ALA selected for this award! Stop by the library’s circulation desk to get yours today!
The Big Read planning team includes: Laura Clarke (Associate Professor of English, Stella & Charles Guttman Community College), Meagan Lacy (Chief Librarian, Stella & Charles Guttman Community College), and CUNY Humanities Alliance Fellows Sharanya Dutta, Greg Hartmann, Rosalía Reyes Simon, Jos Suryatmoko, and Sok Svay.
