The purpose of Reading Together is to build a stronger community and deepen connections through the shared experience of reading the same book and exploring its themes together. When we do that, we engage and learn, not only about ourselves, but about each other and the world around us.

By selecting a title for the entire community to read, examining the book’s themes through a local lens, and hearing the author speak right here in Kalamazoo, we can embrace our similarities and differences from a common point of reference. Ultimately, when we read together, we grow together.

Reading Together is sponsored by Friends of Kalamazoo Public Library.
