I love to see what other communities are reading. Here at Kalamazoo Public Library, we just finished a successful season of Reading Together where we enjoyed Rick Bragg's three memoirs. Rick came to Kalamazoo on April 14 and had the audience eating out of his hands. He was a delightful presenter. We have interviews with Rick on our web site.

These campaigns are absolutely amazing and I would recommend them to any community. Yes, they are work, but very very worthwhile. This year, Naperville READS hosted not only adult author Gary W. Moore but children's author Dan Gutman. Gutman's public appearance was fabulous, we had fathers and sons racing each other to finish titles; whole classes who were "treated" to the event because of what they read and even elementary age girls stumping Dan on sports questions. Reading the same title creates a fabric of discussion, engagement and community. I urge other areas to weave this fabric in their communities. Susan Greenwood Naperville READS 2009 Mary Ellen,
