Why: Since 2001, the Saint Paul Public Schools
and the City of Saint Paul have partnered to promote the Citywide Book
Club, the goal of which is to improve literacy and build community
among the city’s increasingly diverse residents through the common
experience of reading and
discussing the same books. This year’s announcement, like last year’s,
will include one book recommendation for adults and secondary students,
one for youth, and a choice of five for elementary students.
