The Academy of Lifelong Learning at LLCC is distributing 1,000 free copies of the book “Lab Girl” by Hope Jahren as part of the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read in Sangamon County. As part of this, the LLCC Library and Outreach Centers will be distributing books to students beginning today.

LLCC students can pick up a free copy of the book and a seed-planting kit at library table displays on campus. Tables will be located at the entrances of A. Lincoln Commons, Logan Hall, Millennium Center and Workforce Careers Center through April 30 or while supplies last. Books and seed kits will also be distributed at LLCC Outreach Centers in Jacksonville, Beardstown, Taylorville and Litchfield.
