Rogue Reads is Back!
With so much pulling our focus away from each other, Rogue Reads provides an opportunity to come together. Reading books on the same themes or topics, and this year by the same author, gives our patrons the opportunity to have fruitful conversations with family, friends, neighbors, and community members throughout Jackson County. This year we’re reading books by acclaimed author, Julia Alvarez!
Learn more about Alvarez and this year’s selections below. Plus, join us from December through February for programs centered around the selected books as well as our annual reading challenge where you can earn exclusive Beanstack badges, and even a special Rogue Reads butterfly pin!
