Special Programs 2021 Books Build Bridges:
Connecting Communities through Reading Books Build Bridges is a community read program hosted by Hamilton East Public Library each fall to build community through shared experience, provide diverse reading opportunities and engage our community with noted authors. Featured books this year are The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande (Adults and Young Readers Edition) and Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote by Duncan Tonatiuh (Picture Book). Join our community in reading, participating in book discussions, and meeting the award-winning authors.

Her books have been adopted as the common read selection by schools, colleges and cities across the country.
