Sierra Nevada College sets fall film series

A well known Yosemite climber and speaker, three movies and a Native American storyteller will be featured this fall supporting the popular One Book, One Campus program at Sierra Nevada College.

The program that began in 2009 continues this year with the reading selection “Flight” by Native American author Sherman Alexie. The film series begins Aug. 30.

All programs are free.

Sierra Nevada College’s One Book, One Campus program was inspired by the popularity of book clubs and a growing number of college campuses adopting common reading programs. The idea of a common reading selection rests on a simple idea that reading the same book brings people together as a community by creating a common ground for discussion. For more information on the film screenings or on the Common Reading Program, contact Library Director Betts Markle at (775) 881.7511 or emarkle@sierranevada.edu.

The films are shown at Sierra Nevada College,TCES Room 139, 999 Tahoe Boulevard, Incline Village.
