Everybody Reads First Hispanic Justice
Thousands of book
‘My Beloved World’
distributed to schools
and libraries
Multnomah County Library’s Everybody Reads
2014, the library’s 12th annual community reading
project began last week with the distribution of thou
sands of copies of My Beloved World by U.S. Supreme
Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to schools and libraries.
Throughout the month, readers and students across
the county will engage with the memoir, a candid
reflection of Justice Sotomayor’s journey to become
the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice. The book
starts with her childhood in the Bronx through a pres
tigious Ivy League academic career to her appointment
as a federal judge.
In February, dozens of Everybody Reads discus
sions, lectures and related programs will take place at
libraries and elsewhere in the community; and Justice
Sotomayor will come to Portland on March 11 fora7:30
p.m. talk at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall,
Thanks to The Library Foundation, more than 2,500
copies of My Beloved World are available to borrow
from libraries across Multnomah County. Addition
ally 2,100 copies of the book are being given to
schools and organizations serving youth. For the first
time ever, Multnomah County Library has added a
substantial number of e-book copies - more than
1,000 in all — for those who choose tablets or e-readers
as their preferred format.
Everybody Reads 2014, a community reading
project of Multnomah County Library, is made pos
sible by The Library Foundation with the author’s
appearance made possible by Literary Arts.

Gangsta Rap Turned Musical
(AP) - A musical inspired by Tupac Shakur
songs is going to bring gangsta rap to Broad
way.
Producers said "Holler If Ya Hear Me" will
open at the Palace Theatre in June under the
direction of Kenny Leon, who helmed the
Broadway hits "Fences" and "The Mountaintop."
The new musical sets Shakur's music to an
original story.
Rapper and actor Shakur, who had multimil
lion-seller albums like "2Pacalypse Now" and
"All Eyez on Me," was known for his raw lyrics
that drew on the rage of a coarse urban exist
ence. No casting was announced.
The musical has a story by Todd Kreidler and
choreography by Tony Award-winner Wayne
Cilento of "Wicked." Afeni Shakur, the late
artists' mother, is producing.
