The Terryville Public Library will facilitate a Community Read of “Wishtree” by K. Applegate. “Wishtree” is a timely novel, told from the perspective of a generations-old red oak tree, that challenges readers to consider and discuss tough topics and a community’s response to them. Funding will support the project in providing copies of the book for public school students and interested community members as well as facilitated activities in the library and community to meet humanities goals. Events will take place from March 1 – May 1, 2020.
