Holiday gift? Try ‘Three Cups of Tea’

 

When looking for a holiday gift, consider that the sixth annual Duluth One Book, One Community reading program pick this year is “Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace … One School at a Time,” by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.

 

The program, sponsored by the Duluth Public Library, is an effort to have the community read and discuss the same book. This year, the event will take place in March, highlighted by a public presentation by Mortenson on March 19. If you don’t want to buy one, the library also has copies of the book.

 

It is the true story of Minnesota-born Mortenson’s efforts to establish schools for girls in the tumultuous environments of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

 

The library staff has developed a resource guide to use when organizing discussion groups.
