Junior Great Boob Program
Now Offered To All Youngsters
Tlie Massapequa Public Library
which has conducted a
Junior Great Books reading-study
program for a limited number
of students since September,
1965, has opened the program
to the entire Massapequa School
District on a first come, first
served basis, it was announced
this week by Library Director,
Bradley Breitenstein.
Seventh and eighth grade Massapequa
students attending a public
or private school are now
eligible to participate. The program
offers students the opportunity
to read and discuss some
of the books that have come
to be recognized as an essential
part of a liberal education.
The Great Books have been singled
out in this way because they
deal with fundamental situations
and questions having universal
implications.
" In a Junior Great Books
group," Breitenstein said,
" members are encouraged to express
and criticize opinions and
to hear what others have to say
about the selections. By exchanging
and testing their ideas, participants
may expect to gain increased
understanding and appreciation
of the literature they
have discussed."
The library director expressed
hope that the program " will provide
a useful addition to the student's
formal education and will
contribute to the formation of
a lifetime habit of reading and
discussing the books which have
helped to shape and enrich our
civilization."
Meetings will be held from 4 to
5: 30 p. m. at Massapequa's Central
Avenue Library on alternate
Thursdays, starting March 30.
Registration is being held this
week. Interested students may
apply at the reference desk at
either library.
