Community Read kicks off on Saturday, September 7!

The APL is excited to launch this year’s kindness-themed Community Read on Saturday, September 7, at 2:00pm, at the Attleboro Arts Museum. with the debut of the exhibition, “Here, I’ll Get That for You: Strokes of Kindness – In Art, In Life.” Artists will exhibit work paying tribute to a cause or organization that is dear to them or shines a light on a non-profit organization serving audiences in Greater Attleboro. The exhibit will run through September 21.

And on the following Saturday (September 14, at 2:00pm), poet and editor James Crews will be in town to discuss the first book The Path to Kindness: Poems of Connection and Joy. He will give a presentation on his work and reflect on the importance of noticing kindness around us.

There are plenty of opportunities to engage with the Community Read over the next eight months (September 2024 – April 2025). Visit the web page to learn about the books being read, partner events, how to borrow book kits (new this year!), and much more!
