Everybody Reads 2019


Americanah book jacketWhat if a community came together to read and discuss a book? This is a long-standing tradition in our community. Each year Multnomah County Library hosts Everybody Reads – an event designed to support and nurture a community conversation about a book.

Portland Community College is again joining the conversation as an official partner. This year’s selections are Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Events will officially begin in January 2019.

 

Get involved!
