The Falcon Has Landed


The Big Read has arrived in Snohomish County, and it looks as if the months of planning that went into this month-long celebration of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon have paid off. We ordered over 200 copies of the book, and between book group sets and individual copies, most of them are now checked out. Check out our Big Read website for a complete list of programs and book discussions. It's exciting to see so much interest in a book that has been around for more than half a century. I don't think it's too early to say The Big Read looks like a success.
