What
is South Hadley Reads?
South Hadley Reads was begun in
2002 as a cooperative effort of The Odyssey Bookshop, Mount Holyoke
College, South Hadley Public Library, Gaylord Memorial Library and the
South Hadley Senior Center, with sponsorship from PeoplesBank and PIP
Printing. It is intended to engage the community in a common
reading of a selected book each year.
Please note that participants do not
have to be from South Hadley. We welcome anyone with an interest in
discussing our chosen book.
Community members partake in South
Hadley Reads by reading the selected novel and also by participating in
book discussions and other community events. The main goals of this
program is to both encourage reading, spark discussion, and promote
community involvement
South Hadley Reads is one of hundreds
of citywide reading programs now being sponsored throughout the United
States.
