To advance reading and strengthen the sense of community, the Rotary Club of West Roxbury and Roslindale is donating $3,000 to the Roslindale Branch Library to launch a new reading program called Roslindale Reads. The money was raised through private and public funding efforts of the Club, and a matching District Managed Grant from Rotary District 7930.
 
In its first year, Roslindale Reads plans to read Harper Lee's classic To Kill a Mockingbird.  Followed then by Harper Lee's soon to be released Go Set a Watchman.  This will come out in June.  Other books to be read include The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.
 
The Roslindale Branch Library is located in Roslindale Square on Washington Street.  All members of the community are invited to join the book discussion group.  To learn more about all the books to be read and the schedule, contact the Roslindale Branch Library at 617-323-2343 or email manos@bpl.org.
