What is a Community Read?
Simply put, it is one book uniting five communities through reading, discussion and learning.

Our goal: is to bring together our respective communities, Novi, Northville, Wixom, Lyon and Salem-South Lyon Libraries, through the shared experience of reading a selected title. That means, you, your neighbors, friends, co-workers, book clubs, and anyone else in your community who enjoys a good story. 

This year’s selected title is the highly acclaimed, Annie’s Ghosts by Steve Luxenberg.

Pick up a copy of the book at your neighborhood library starting August 16th and mark your calendar for some of the great book-related events coming this fall, including book discussions and visit by the author!
