Our Mission

Our goal is to bring people in our community together through the reading and discussion of a shared book. Our choices inspire rich discussion and community activities and encourage younger readers to participate through companion books and related activities.

Kids Read, Too

Our Kids Read, Too!! committee has selected some junior companion books for families to read together with the hope that everyone will participate in discussions regarding the importance of using one’s strengths and sharing one’s story. Learn more about the Kids Read, Too Program here.
