Everybody Reads Together

Libraries almost out of copies of Stubborn Twig

The final copies of Stubborn Twig are in Multnomah County libraries now. We don't expect there will be many remaining after this weekend, so those of you who have already read it are encouraged to bring it back to the library for someone else to borrow or to pass it along to a friend, neighbor or family member so they can read it too. That has always been the intent in making so many copies of the book readily available and easy to borrow, but I think that somewhere along the line people started thinking that these copies of the Everybody Reads book were theirs to keep. We're a very generous and sharing community, so I'm hoping that people will actually return copies to the libraries for others to have a chance to participate.

Another way to get a copy of the book (and this copy would be yours to keep) would be to visit one of the Everybody Reads participating bookstores and purchase a copy. Powell's, Barnes & Noble and Broadway Books are all discounting the books this month. (The Barnes & Noble discount begins on Jan. 15 and goes through the end of February.) These book sellers have been supporters of Everybody Reads since the very beginning and I hope you will visit them if you need to purchase a copy of Stubborn Twig.
