For the past year, WILI-AM Radio has been broadcasting "Books on Parade," a 15-minute radio show created by Chemistry Professor Charles Wynn. Every Friday at 9:45 a.m., Wynn samples a book from the New York Times Hardcover Fiction and Nonfiction Bestseller List. He reads information from the dust-jacket and as much of its beginning pages as time permits. Listeners can then decide whether or not they wish to borrow the book from their local library. The Connecticut Radio Information System (CRIS), a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to the needs of the blind and print-handicapped, rebroadcasts the show twice a week. Previously broadcast shows are also available on WILI's website.
