Join the Read

One county, one shared read. Each year, Dubuque County Reads brings libraries and community partners together around a common book to promote literacy, spark civic conversation, and encourage respectful dialogue on the issues that matter to us. Free books, author talks, guided discussions, storytimes, and hands-on youth activities — all free and open to everyone.

Book discussions and other events run March through April 2027.
