PRESENTS
January- March 2011
Grandville Reads is a community reading
event that seeks to engage all ages in the enjoyment of
reading.
Why Grandville Reads?
A reading community is a healthy
community.
Reading together broadens and deepens our appreciation for the power of books to teach and
inspire.
Reading helps us gain a better understanding of
ourselves and our world.
