ABOUT RACINE READS

Racine Reads is a communitywide reading project in Racine, Wis., where residents are encouraged to read the same book at the same time. This project seeks to promote reading and dialog among the people of Racine County.

BECOMING A PARTNER

Potential partners will be area educators, financial institutions, health care professionals, city and county resources (including police, human resource departments, elected officials, etc.), social service agencies, and local organizations dedicated to making Racine a better place to live.

We invite you to join us in the conversation about these issues. What could your organization offer? A speaker, either one of your clients or someone from your administration? An auditorium or meeting room? Provide financial support to bring in speakers? Purchase books, for your employees or others? Perhaps there are upcoming events that could tie in to Racine Reads? Where do you see the strongest need?

Please call Jessica MacPhail, the library director for the Racine Public Library, at 636-9252 and let us know how you plan to join the conversation.
