There is no better challenge than Get Caught Reading Month in May.  

Here are some tips to be prepared to read all month long.

• Tuck magazines in your bag so you'll always have something to read (lots to check out at MPL!).
• Keep books for all ages in the car. Older children can read to those who haven’t mastered the skill.
• Unplug for the month. Then check with us for some great titles we can bring to you curbside! 
• Charge up the digital reader’s battery and load it up. Many classics are available for free.
• Get caught reading to children. Find a snug spot and create a routine that carries on throughout the year.
• Encourage reading during stressful times to refocus.
• Read outdoors in a park after a walk.

 Suggest a Title for Washtenaw Reads! 

The Washtenaw Reads (a county wide community read) Screen Committee is beginning its work.  We're looking for book suggestions from our communities! In 2022, we are seeking fictional titles that will be "conversation starters."

Use this form to submit a title.

The criteria used by the committee are:

• The writing should be engaging and thought-provoking. 
• The subjects discussed should be accessible to readers throughout the community, high-school age and above.
• The length, price, and availability of the book should be suited to involvement by the general public.
• The book should be by a living author.
• Its treatment of issues should encourage readers to discuss the issues further with others, at home, work, reading clubs, and community events.
• Ideally, the subject should lead to constructive dialogues across our diverse communities.

Please submit your suggestions by June 18, so the committee has time to take them into consideration.
