This year, Cox Communications presents a new community-wide initiative with the Lafayette Public Library and the Lafayette Parish School System, Lafayette Reads Together. This shared reading and learning experience centers around the same book, which this year is A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. This survivor’s tale is inspired by the real story of one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, who not only saved himself, but improved the quality of life for many. Throughout January and February, we will explore the cultural and social issues surrounding this story.
