Events for the 2014 California Reads Grant

The Mendocino County Library, Ukiah Branch is pleased to announce that we are a recipient of a 2014 California Reads Grant.

California Reads (CA Reads) is a grant and resource program of Cal Humanities, conducted in partnership with the California Center for the Book (CCFB). This year’s initiative, War Comes Home, seeks to bring people in communities together to think and talk about what it means to come home from war, and what it is like to be a veteran.
