A good book is an immersive experience, an opportunity for the reader to get lost in imagination and explore a new world. A great book does that and more — it brings a community together to discuss, debate, and share in its wonder.
Created in 2002, WestportREADS is a way for the Westport community to bond over a great book, and is designed to deepen our community’s engagement in literature.
Throughout January, there will be events and programs centered around this year's selection, book discussions, celebrations, and much more. It is a chance to not only read a great book but to engage with the community, meet new people, and celebrate our shared love of reading.
WestportREADS is supported through a generous bequest by the estate of Jerry A. Tishman.
