Crete Public Library is excited to start gearing up for our 2025 Crete Reads selection process! Do you have a book that you want to see be our next Crete Reads? If so, submit your recommendation at bit.ly/CreteReads2025 or by reaching out to the library!

Crete Reads is a community-wide, year-long series of events, activities, and learning opportunities related to the content and themes of one book chosen by the public. Community members are encouraged to read the book and participate in programming centered around themes of the book throughout the year.

There are two main goals for Crete Reads: 1) encourage reading among people of all ages; and 2) bring the community together through a shared, common experience. Multiple copies of each year's selected book will be available at the library in a variety of formats: regular print, large print, Spanish, AudioBook, eBook, and eAudioBook. If a book club would like multiple copies, contact the library and staff can reserve them.
