Everybody Reads

Everybody Reads is a regional program that builds a shared reading experience around a single book to foster curiosity, spark discussion and celebrate a love of story and community engagement.

Since 2001, Lewis-Clark Valley and Palouse libraries have read and discussed a wide variety of different books and welcomed the authors of those books into their communities for a shared reading experience.

Grant organizations that have supported Everybody Reads include the Institute for Museums and Library Services, Washington State Library, Idaho Humanities Council and Humanities Washington.
