Washtenaw Reads 2017!
by valerieclaires
Fans of our annual Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Reads program will be delighted to learn that the Reads has expanded and is now called Washtenaw Reads! For the first time, libraries in Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Dexter, Milan, Northfield Township, Saline, and Ypsilanti have teamed up to share, read, and discuss one book throughout our communities. Washtenaw Reads will take place in January and February 2017, and will include book discussions, events, handy resources, and more. You can get ready now by checking out the two finalist titles.
A Selection Panel made up of representatives from all seven communities will choose between Orhan's Inheritance, a work of fiction by Aline Ohanesian, and $2.00 A Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America, a work of non-fiction by Kathryn J. Edin and H. Luke Shaefer. Copies of both books are available at the participating libraries as well as at local bookstores. After you're finished reading, you can also leave comments and feedback on each book's page on the Washtenaw Reads website. Get ready to read!
