Why To Kill a Mockingbird?
This novel has been popular since it was first published in 1960; copies are found in every library and on many home bookshelves. The novel deals with coming-of-age themes and with social and racial issues. While the novel takes place in the South in the 1930s, the issues are still relevant today.

Author Michael Fedo spoke as part of the Lectures @ Your Library series in February 2001. For an excerpt from his book, click here. How Can You Participate? • Get the book!
