Greenwich Library invites the community to nominate a beloved book for the popular Greenwich Reads Together experience, which engages the town once a year in exploring a single book. Whether it’s new non-fiction or a favorite work of literature, all ideas are welcomed. Visit greenwichreadstogether.org to nominate your favorite.

In order to be selected, the book should be of literary quality, reflective of universal issues and capable of generating thought-provoking discussions. It should lend itself to engaging public programs and appeal to a diverse population. It must also be available in large quantities and in multiple formats, including eBook, audiobook and large print. In addition, the author must be living and available to speak in Greenwich.

Nominations will be accepted through February 28. A committee comprised of Library staff and community members will evaluate the nominations and create a shortlist. For the third year, the community will have the opportunity to vote on the winner from the GRT shortlist. More details about the process will be announced in the spring. Greenwich Reads Together 2020 will take place in the fall.

In 2019, almost 20 community organizations and thousands of Greenwich residents participated in events around the literary classic, Fahrenheit 451by Ray Bradbury. Numerous adult, children and teen book discussions were held across Greenwich. Past GRT selections have also included Code Girls, News of the WorldStation Eleven and Boys in the Boat.
