The Community Read Program & How It Works | |
The City of Port Townsend has proclaimed March as the official "Reading Month." Community Read is designed to promote closer ties among community members through the shared experience of reading, sharing and discussing the same book and ideas related to topics raised by the book. * A limited number of free copies of the book will be available at the Port Townsend Public Library on a first-come first-served basis. Additional copies will be available at the Library on two-week loans; or you may purchase a copy at the Library circulation desk for the cost of the book to the Library. This book is also available through local bookstores and online booksellers. * Read the book; then pass it on to others. * Prepare for a discussion about the book with your own book group or join in the groups listed below. A brochure with discussion issues and questions is available at the Library. * Promote the program by wearing a button (available at the Library) that says: "I'm Reading It!" * Attend the many related events in the community during the month of March. |
