- Plant the Seed—Read! Community Book Read
- The community book:
- promotes a sense of community,
- illustrates many of the 40 Developmental Assets,
- promotes reading for pleasure,
- promotes a love of literature,
- increases literacy awareness in the county, and
- promotes life-long learning.
Books are placed in bright yellow bins throughout the county, with signs inviting community members to join the community book read, share the book with a friend, and return the book to the bin so that someone else may read it. Readers are encouraged to join scheduled book read activities and discuss the book and the 40 Developmental Assets, as defined by the Search Institute, in formal and informal settings.
Many people in the community are reading the book together - in community.
