UW Reads the US Constitution -- Tuesday, November 1, 2011

Ever wondered what exactly is in the Constitution? The University of Washington Libraries seeks your help with our sixth annual "America Reads the Constitution" event. We are signing up 100 volunteers to help us read the Constitution aloud, and we are well on the way to meeting our goal! We need enthusiastic readers who are University students, staff or faculty -- each participant gets to read several sentences. Our read-aloud captures the attention and imagination of those walking through the Suzzallo-Allen Library. An easy to read .PDF edition of the Constitution may be found online from the Government Printing Office.

Please stop by to hear a few minutes of this historic text.
