ReadDavidson Seeking Book Nominations For 2021 Reading Program

DAVIDSON, NC — Organizers of ReadDavidson, a town-wide reading initiative in Davidson, are asking residents for their nominations of books, including children's picture books, for the upcoming 2021 season.

For more than a decade, the Town of Davidson, Davidson Public Library and Main Street Books have partnered for the ReadDavidson program, which encourages community-wide reading through educational events related to a selected book.

New this year, say organizers, is the inclusion of a picture book for children that pairs with the theme of the main book selection.

ReadDavidson's 2021 planning committee is accepting nominations through Sept. 15 and will announce the selection in December.

Information about how to submit a book nomination may be found here.

“Reading often begins as a solitary act, but it’s also social; books are written and published to be read by many people," Adah Fitzgerald, owner of Main Street Books, said in a statement. "ReadDavidson brings readers together at the same moment in time to discuss and learn from a single book."
