Georgetown Reads!
This year for Georgetown Reads we are doing something slightly different. Instead of one book we’ve selected three so that the whole family can get involved. The three editions of Marley and Me that we have selected are listed below with their reading level as well as link to place a hold in the catalog:
Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog
Reading Level: Teen and Adult
Also Available in Spanish, Large Print and Audio
Marley: A Dog Like No Other
Reading Level: Middle School-aged Readers
Bad Dog Marley

One-City-One-Book Program
The goal of a one-city-one-book program is three-fold. It should expand the world of the reader through book discussions, broaden the reader’s engagement or appreciation of a work, and it should build community by bringing diverse people together.
