For the next six weeks, the people of El Paso will be reading Rudolfo Anaya's seminal coming-of-age tale, Bless Me, Ultima, and we want you to join along! The community-wide reading event culminates in the world premiere of the novel's long-awaited film adaptation at the famous Plaza Theatre in downtown El Paso on September 17.
To encourage participation, the El Paso Public Library will be raffling off a brand new e-reader every week through the end of September.
