We at Penguin Random House Library Marketing recognize, and deeply appreciate, the uniqueness of your libraries, and the communities they serve. Whether you have a well-established community reads program, or are just launching one, we want to support your efforts. Visit CommonReads.com to explore title lists and ideas to engage your community in the common reading experience. These links are a great place to start:
View some of books communities across the country have selected for their Community Reads programs.
Browse titles by themes, including inspiration, leadership, life stories, social justice, and more, to get ideas for your next community read.
Once you have selected your title and are ready to invite an author to speak, reach out to the publisher, or visit the Penguin Random House Speakers Bureau to inquire about author availability and possible speaking fees.
Get information on how to start a program, how to order books for your program, and more.
