Rather than selecting one book that would limit readership to a specific level of readers, the BOOKS TO BRIDGE THE REGION selection committee adopted a themed approach with multigenerational selections so that families could read together and readers of all ages could enjoy the conversations the books generate. In addition, this approach lends itself to varied programming that libraries, K-12 schools, colleges, and universities can offer the communities in Northwest Indiana.
Who selected the theme and the books?
The goals of Books to Bridge the Region are to promote literacy, to create conversations among communities, and to foster critical thinking related to a theme. The theme and the books were selected last winter by a committee comprised of educators, librarians and booksellers. The books were selected for their subject matter, writing quality, and reading pleasure. The views of the authors are not the views of the Books to Bridge the Region committee, its funders, or participating entities. We hope participants will enjoy the books and find much to discuss with members of their families and communities.
