Penn State Marathon Read 2017

During this annual event, volunteers take turns reading over a 24-hour period. This year’s event, First Books, focuses on Author’s first books that they published or their first book in a series, by authors from all around the world. The titles will be available in English and other languages.

There will be pizza, t-shirts, and other surprises.
