Welcome to Duvall Reads

Duvall Reads is modeled after a nationwide program that was first introduced by The Seattle Public Library in 1998. It is based on the ‘One Book, One Community’ concept, where a community participates in reading the same book.

2009-2010 Season of Duvall Reads

The new season of Duvall Reads is underway. The new selections were developed after meeting with several dozen book club leaders and Nancy Pearl, super-librarian, NPR Morning Edition contributor and creator of the One Book, One Community idea in mid-September. Each book has been chosen within the framework of being highly suitable for group reading and discussion.

Here is a guide for the full season of Duvall Reads:
