Suggest a Title for A Very Good Read: Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Reads 2014

This Year’s Selection Will Be Fiction

Suggest “A Very Good Read” to the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Reads planning committees by June 30, and your suggestion just might be the pick for the upcoming community Reads program, which will take place January and February 2014. Committees will meet over the summer to consider title suggestions.

Title suggestions may be made by visiting the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Reads website at aaypsireads.org; calling (734) 327-4224; or stopping by any Ann Arbor District Library or Ypsilanti District Library location.

The 2014 theme is “A Very Good Read” and the book selected must be a work of fiction. Also:
• The writing should be engaging and thought-provoking.
• The subjects discussed should be accessible to readers throughout the community, high-school age and above.
• The length, price, and availability of the book should be suited to involvement by the general public.
• The book should be by a living author.
• Its treatment of issues should encourage readers to discuss the issues further with others, at home, work, reading clubs, and community events.
• Ideally, the subject should lead to constructive dialogues across our diverse communities.
