Post #1: Welcome to Village Reads

I am glad you are interested in joining in on the Annex Art’s Village Reads journey. Welcome!

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN VILLAGE READS:

1. Read the selected books (see below) by the date of the author events schedule for July 13th and August 10th.
2. Register for the Village Reads blog with no obligation but in order to receive notices of the blog’s online interactive “bonus content” to accompany our reading and for invitations to our author events. While you can always check in on Village Reads program and blog on your own in these pages, we are eager to stay in touch.
3. Attend our interactive virtual author events in July and August!
