The Washington Township Public Library will host its first Community Read in 2026!

Community Reads encourage the entire community to read and discuss the same book. The intent is to foster shared experiences, promote literacy, and spark conversations.

The book we hope you’ll read with us is The Lonely Hearts Book Club by Lucy Gilmore.

We’ll be giving away free copies of the book for you to keep starting on February 2nd! Just ask at the circulation desk to receive yours — first come first served. We also have extra circulating copies available for checkout.

February through April there are also programs that relate to the books — curious how they relate? Read the book to find out!
