Park Ridge Reads Project

Park Ridge Reads is a community-wide project to promote reading, spark discussion, and unite us around one exceptional book.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Park Ridge Reads this October!

The next Park Ridge Reads program will be held in the Fall of 2013.

    


2011 - Ordinary Heroes by Scott Turow
"A riveting historical novel that portrays the dramatic experience of one American soldier in World War II, Ordinary Heroes explores a long-lasting family mystery that has lingered after the war."

2009 - Three Cups of Tea by William Mortenson and David Oliver Relin 
"The inspiring account of one man’s campaign to build schools in the most dangerous, remote, and anti- American reaches of Asia."

2007 - The Love Wife by Gish Jen 
"A generous, funny, explosive novel about the new "half-half" American family." 

2005 - So Big by Edna Ferber

"Life story of Selina De Jong, the wife of a Dutch farmer, whose indomitable spirit rises above her many years of hardship."

Even though Park Ridge Reads is over, you can still find copies of these books at the library.
