For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Max Southwell '27 Description An account of the resource I imagine the reading marathons as a kind of hearth for students and faculty to gather around during the somewhat unbearable Winter term. Some readers may feel pressure to speak eloquently or punctually, but I believe their time on the podium also acts as a moment of reprieve from constant school work. Not only do the marathons allow students to casually practice public speaking, each new marathon also requires the reader to tap into their creativity and textual interpretation prowess. I hope the reading marathons serve the future generations of Carleton students and staff in much the same way. Moreover, I hope that the marathons guide the next generation into reading more often for their own enjoyment as the world continues to move more into a digital environment. Participant Quotes
