WooReads Adult Challenge: Turn a New Page



Now is a great time to come together as a community through reading. We can learn something new and see the world from perspectives different from our own. Help us reach our goal of 3,000 books read by May 2021 for the WooReads Adult Challenge: Turn a New Page. If you're worried that you don't have the time to read, try an audiobook that you can listen to during your commute or when you're running errands. Try a short story that you can read in a day or two. If you're unsure of what to read, try our Book Bundle service. A librarian will select five books for you based on your preferences. You can also find a great book through one of our book clubs and have the opportunity to discuss it with others! 



I absolutely loved this book! It was so interesting to see how President Snow got to be the man we knew him as in the Hunger Games trilogy. Definitely a worthwhile read, especially if you loved the trilogy. ~ Katelynn S.

I'd rate Lagoon a 1.5/5 stars. Nothing much happened in the story besides the three main characters meeting the alien and not doing much about it. I didn't really like any of the characters. They were bland and boring to read about. It was a short read, which I am glad about. ~ Yucheng Z.







This is a heavy book! And I'm not just talking about its size. The fabric of America is intricately woven with racism, discrimination, and prejudice. How did we get here? Did racist ideas create racists, or did racists create racist ideas? Ibram X. Kendi delves deep into America's complex racial history and examines how racism/racist policies have evolved and continue to exist. It's thought provoking, filled with tons of information, and worth the read. Strongly recommend! ~ Mary T.



Fun to read and look at the ornaments! She has a nice picture and story about each. ~ Karen S.
