Books to Bridge 2009 theme is "Family Matters"

Well, it's taken awhile to get web-type things up and running, but we're getting closer! Books to Bridge the Region 2009 kicks off in October 2009. B2BR, as we call it, will again partner with the Northwest Indiana Literacy Coalition's Time Out for Reading to deliver "Book Cases" to nearly 500 schools and libraries in seven Northwest Indiana counties!

Here are this year's featured titles:

  • Adult: The Ride of Our Lives by Mike Leonard
  • Young Adult: The Watsons Go to Birmingham- 1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis
  • Picture/Easy: A Day with Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce

Mike Leonard will visit Northwest Indiana on Thursday, October 22. We'll be announcing more soon. Stay tuned!


Welcome to Books to Bridge the Region

Books to Bridge the Region is a reading initiative encompassing the Northwest Indiana counties of Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Pulaski and Starke.

Books to Bridge uses a themed approach with selections at three reading levels so that families can read together and readers of all ages can enjoy the conversations generated by these books.

Our theme for 2009 is Family Matters. The titles are: The Ride of Our Lives by Mike Leonard; The Watsons Go to Birmingham- 1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis, and A Day with Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce. Books to Bridge runs during October 2009.
