Greenwich Library Seeks Suggestions for Annual 'Greenwich Reads Together' Program

Greenwich Library is accepting suggestions for Greenwich Reads Together, the community-wide reading experience that engages all of Greenwich in exploring a single book.

Community members are encouraged to visit www.greenwichreadstogether.org to share their ideas.

The library says that “in order to be selected, the book should be of high literary quality, reflective of universal issues and capable of generating thought-provoking discussions. It should lend itself to engaging public programs and appeal to a diverse population. It must also be currently in print and available in large quantities and in multiple formats, including paperback, ebook, audiobook and large print.”

The suggestions will be evaluated by a committee of library staff and community members. The chosen book will be announced later this spring. Greenwich Reads Together 2015 will take place in the fall.

About Greenwich Reads Together

Greenwich Reads Together is a community-wide reading experience which will engage all of Greenwich in exploring a single book. Several community organizations are leading this initiative including Greenwich Library, Greenwich Arts Council, Greenwich Historical Society, Greenwich Alliance for Education, Greenwich Pen Women, Greenwich Public Schools and private schools and Friends of Greenwich Library.

Last spring, almost 20 community organizations and more than 6,000 Greenwich residents participated in events around The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown. Numerous adult, children and teen book discussions were held across Greenwich.
