Read-a-Thon at Fairfield University Bookstore

Tuesday, July 14, marks the release of Harper Lee's book Go Set a Watchman. On Tuesday, the Fairfield University Bookstore will be hosting a read-a-thon from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Readers will take turns reading a few pages from the new book. Go Set a Watchman is the earliest known piece of work from Harper Lee, bestselling author of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman was submitted to Lee's publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird but the manuscript was only rediscovered in 2014 after it was assumed to be lost. It features many of the same characters from To Kill a Mockingbird.

Anyone interested in reading during the read-a-thon can contact FairfieldUBookstoreEvents@gmail.com.

The Fairfield University Bookstore is located at 1499 Post Road.
