Arlington Reads

Arlington Reads, a community engagement program of Arlington Public Library, promotes literacy, the joy of reading and intergenerational participation.

“The program brings together people to talk about books and the important topics of our time,” said Library Director Diane Kresh.

Since its inception in 2006, the program has featured both national and international fiction and non-fiction authors and cultural icons, such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Wendell Berry, Junot Díaz, Anthony Doerr, Richard Ford, Colum McCann, Tim O’Brien, Ann Patchett, Viet Thanh Nguyen and Elizabeth Strout.

Arlington Reads is made possible in part through the generous support of the Friends of the Arlington Public Library.
