Books and Cultural Identity

A Community Reading Program in Sandwich
January 9 - March 14, 2009

Sandwich Reads Together 2009 explored the power of books and stories to connect people across cultures and through time. Residents of all ages and from all walks of life discovered the delight, enjoyment and community of reading the same books at the same time.

Thank you to all who attended our programs, supported our efforts, and through great books opened themselves to new possibilities.
