2014 Skagit Reads -
Residents from across Skagit County will read, discuss, and come together to engage with a single book this October. A coalition of libraries and community organizations will make hundreds of copies of the book – “Closing the Food Gap” by Mark Winne – available to Skagit County residents at no charge. Libraries will also host a number of events and discussions to provide additional background to the issues presented in the book. Mark Winne will make a special visit to Skagit on November 4th and 5th.
