More Than a Hashtag

#ShareTheRead

Stories unite us. When we greet one another with “Share The Read,” we’re acknowledging that tales bond us, books bring authors and readers together and stories teach us about each other and ourselves like no tutor can.

My goal is to give you reader experiences to share.


A Common Goal

Whether we link arms in a virtual book club, invite our in-person clubs for an author chat, accept a reading challenge, guide someone to the magic of reading or discover a new favorite story, we achieve a common goal: to Share The Read!

Links for Literacy Resources

Let Freedom Read!

Over the years, I've watched non-readers become readers, and their worlds are instantly broadened. I've seen the joy in the eyes of a reader who comes back to books after years of not reading—I've been that reader! I've watched the lights in children's eyes as they learn to read for themselves or as they discover the magic of tales through storytimes or book clubs or literature classes.

What freedom and endless possibilities reading brings!
