Professor Panteha Sanati’s Under a Papery Roof, our One Book selection for Spring 2011, has arrived in the Library thanks to the generosity of Dr. Barbara Finkelstein and the Division of Faculty and Instruction. We have processed the books and they await your checkout in the Brockton Campus Library. We are hoping that faculty and staff will read the book over the summer and think about how to use the text in their courses during the Spring semester when The One Book, One College Program will once again offer a series of events tied to the selection.

Under a Papery Roof is extra special. It is the story of English Professor Panteha Sanati’s escape from the revolution in Iran to the United States. Professor Sanati, as a young girl, deals with issues familiar to many of our students who have immigrated to the U.S. and now she teaches among them. This will put a whole new focus on our program. We look forward to loaning copies to faculty and having them to loan again to our students as they prepare for the spring program. The program committee will be posting event schedules, and contests plus a kick-off event in the fall. Come in to borrow a copy of the book – it’s a great summer read – and get ready for the best One Book ever!
