Naperville READS is a variation on the well known city programs of "one city, one book." The goals of Naperville READS are: to promote the pleasures of reading, to engage a wide age-range of readers, to appeal across genders and to a variety of reading tastes, to encourage reading as a family and community activity.
Naperville READS is a partnership between Anderson's Bookshop, Naperville Public Library, Naperville Community Unit School District 203, Indian Prairie School District 204. The project is partially funded by a grant from the City of Naperville.
Let's celebrate the love of reading in our community with a great author, Neil Gaiman.
