Welcome to Good Reads!

Hello, thank you for your interest in the Good Reads project.  What we have planned to do with this blog is to maintain an online presence for not only the literary selections of each month, but also for discussion of the works and the issues they raise.

On the right-hand side of the screen, you will notice a small list of the current selections - this will be updated quarterly. We will be starting in June with It Is Well With My Soul by the late Ella Mae Cheeks Johnson.

Below this is a section titled "Places to Visit".  That section contains links to information about the books, authors and various websites of interest to anyone participating in the project.  It will be frequently updated, so keep a lookout for new and exciting things! 

Below that is a space for artwork - right now it is a snapshot by one of our volunteers.  This is just a small area to showcase beautiful images that highlight the Newark Public Library, Newark itself, or the current selection.

Finally, there is the "Who We Are" section, which will link you to the Blogger profile of the Newark Literacy Campaign, as well as provide information on how to contact us with questions or suggestions.

This blog will be frequently updated with summaries, reviews, discussion points, and various literacy-related items (tagged "Interrupting Myself").  We encourage you to check back often throughout the coming months, as we will be posting selections and links to information about the books and their authors.

Below each entry is a section titled "Post A Comment" - if you like, please post your thoughts about the books.  We'd love to hear from you and get our discussion flowing!  Enjoy the summer and please join us on our literary travels!
