Book of the Year

Each Year the College of the Redwoods and nearby Humboldt State University choose a Book of the year. We arrange lectures about it and each campus may utilize it in other ways as well.

This year's book is called Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace... One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.

We recently received a copy here at our library and it is inspiring. Although I have not read it all yet, the parts I have read are awesome. Education is the step stool to a better life, not only here in California, but throughout the world. This book chronicles and celebrates the effort of one man to bring education to hundreds (perhaps more--I am not done with the book yet) that otherwise could not afford to learn.
