We are excited to announce that The God of the Woods by Liz Moore has been voted by our community as this year's Crete Reads!

If you haven’t had a chance to dive into this gripping story yet, the library has you covered. Copies are available in Regular Print, Large Print, Spanish, eBook, and eAudiobook formats—so there’s something for every reader. Stop by or reserve your copy today and see why this book captured our community’s vote!

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.
