Dick Van Dyke, Veronique Peck and Anthony Peck at September 8, 2007 reading
|
In 1995, Academy Award-winning actor Gregory Peck created an annual series of literary readings that features some of the most acclaimed actors of our time, who read aloud from their favorite plays, poems, short stories, novels, essays and letters.
The readings are a benefit of Library Associates' membership at the Sustainer ($250) level and higher and take place in the Central Library's Mark Taper Auditorium.
Today, the series continues under the direction of members of the Peck family. Veronique Peck heads the program, with Cecilia Peck-Voll and Anthony Peck serving as co-hosts for the readings.
The Gregory Peck Reading Series begins a new season each September and runs through June, taking a hiatus during the summer months.

"Since people first began writing down their stories nearly 7,000 years ago, we have needed libraries. The story of who we are is contained in all its amazing variety in the library, and we are fortunate in Los Angeles to have a place of public greatness where this complex, rich and varied story can continue to be told, read and heard."
Gregory Peck, October 25, 1998, in a letter to the Los Angeles Times.
Take a moment to look back at the wonderful programs that have taken place since the Series' debut in 1995.
