Carson City Convention and Visitors Bureau
Carson City celebrates National Library Week, Mon.-Fri., April 9-14 with engaging discussions, community conversations, poetry readings and film best-selling authors.
A focus on Middle East studies will highlight the discussion for much of the week with a Capital City reading of “A Thousand Splendid Suns,” Tuesday, April 10. Written by best-selling author Khaled Hosseini, the book focuses on the tumultuous lives of two Afghan women and how their lives cross each other, spanning from the 1960s to 2003. Events are lined up Wednesday with the Afghan Women’s Writing Project that will bring seven regional notables together to read poems and prose; Thursday is a screening of the film “Kandahar” and Friday New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Lauck will discuss her book “Found” the follow-up to her 2000 international bestseller “Blackbird: A Childhood Lost & Found.”
