@litcleveland @ClevelandReads Sounds like a wonderful opportunity! Can people from the Stow/Kent area participate? (@smfpl's a CLEVNET library — not sure if that helps.)

Happy 187th birthday to that guy we all read sophomore year of high school, the darling father of American literature, Mark Twain.

Do you remember which book of his you read and what you thought about it?

English teachers: Are kids these days still reading Huckleberry Finn?

Want to celebrate National Native American Heritage month, but not sure where to start? 🤔

Why not try reading a book by an Indigenous author? We love these handy guides for overwhelmed readers created by staff at @RoomofOnesOwn in Madison, Wis.
