Enduring Hawthorne:
A Marathon Reading of The Scarlet Letter

Saturday, July 7 from 9:00AM until 7:00PM
Salem Maritime National Historic Site
160 Derby St, Salem, MA 01970

With the help of many volunteers on Saturday, July 7th starting at 9:00 AM we will read The Scarlet Letter from beginning to end. Hosted by the Salem Maritime National Historic Site we invite you to join us from the beginning or stop by to listen as the novel progresses. Watch for a special "Hawthorne's Custom House" tour and the opportunity to make your own scarlet letter to publicly state your personal sins.

We ask everyone interested in helping to read to please email gavin_gardner@nps.gov. He will be pulling together the volunteer list and organizing a planning meeting later in June to brief all of the readers. Let us know by June 15 if you are interested in volunteering for a five minute reading slot.
