Come celebrate African American books and authors by listening to or reading aloud books written by Black authors. All members of our community are invited to participate in the National African American Read-In.

Participants can sign up to read excerpts from books written by Black authors or can drop in anytime to listen. The books can range from picture books to poetry to teen and adult novels. Participants are encouraged to pick a selection that they have a connection with. Presentations should be appropriate for all ages. We will have books available for those who don’t have a prepared piece but wish to participate as well.  

Here is a list of recommended titles for the AARI: https://bookshop.org/lists/african-american-read-in-2022-recommendations.
