ROSWELL READS MISSION STATEMENT

Roswell Reads promotes the value of reading, literacy, and lifelong learning through the shared community-wide experience of reading and discussing a common book or collection. Readers are able to collectively examine relevant issues, establish bonds, and forge a better understanding of their community and society.

 ABOUT ROSWELL READS

Roswell Reads, eighteen years strong, brings a variety of literature and accompanying programs to the community. The Roswell Reads committee selects a book or collection that has strong characters, represents a Southern author or setting, and presents themes that address the human condition. Roswell Reads books should appeal to adults and teens as well as people of various cultures and ethnic backgrounds who live in Roswell. A complimentary children’s book is sometimes chosen so that families and children can also be involved.

Programs, held in February and March, often include a writing workshop conducted by the author, a family program with activities based on the children's book selection that reflects the theme of the Roswell Reads book, and community outreach to an organization that reflects the concerns addressed in the book selection. 

For questions or more information, please e-mail the committee at roswellreads@gmail.com.
