Mike Mills of the legendary rock band, R.E.M. wants you to know that libraries provide a place for people of all backgrounds to to discover their creative talents and nurture their creative abilities.
R.E.M. has a long history of supporting libraries and literacy. Thirty years ago, they posed for the American Library Association (ALA)’s READ campaign, and the resulting poster became an instant collector's item. Now, book lovers and music fans can enjoy the iconic image as a jigsaw puzzle, with all sales supporting literacy efforts.
Thank you, Mike Mills and R.E.M.!
