<br />WHEREAS, reading is a joy for all ages which allows young and old to
<br />come together in discussion on a variety of topics; and
<br />WHEREAS, every community has special traits that make it unique. These
<br />traits develop over time and are woven into the fabric of its citizens' daily
<br />lives. In many ways, our community defines who we are; and
<br />WHEREAS, every community comes together through shared history, shared
<br />knowledge and shared experiences. As our community grows and changes, it can
<br />become more difficult to maintain and to honor the traits that are unique and
<br />special; and

<br />WHEREAS, 411 - 4 COUNTIES, 1 BOOK, 1 COMMUNITY is one way to bring
<br />together each diverse individual in Cabarrus, Davidson, Rowan and Stanly
<br />counties to share an experience together - the experience of reading the same
<br />novel. This collective experience not only encourages literacy; it also
<br />encourages dialogue and the expression of thoughts and ideas among
<br />individuals who may not otherwise find a connection; and
<br />WHEREAS, the months of March and April 2014 have been selected for the
<br />411 - 4 COUNTIES, 1 BOOK, 1 COMMUNITY project; and
<br />WHEREAS, "Mr. Penumbra's 24 -Hour Bookstore" by Robin Sloan is selected
<br />as this year's 411 - 4 COUNTIES, 1 BOOK, 1 COMMUNITY project; and

<br />participating in "The Quest for the Code" at the Arena, by meeting author
<br />Robin Sloan and many other events.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners County
<br />declare the months of March and April as 411 - 4 COUNTIES, 1 BOOK, 1
