The Community Reads Series is an initiative aimed at connecting folks in the community, sharing stories between people of different generations, and creating opportunities for deeper connection and understanding.

It is a children’s reading time, not simply where stories are read from pages, but where the reader gets to share their own story as well- what roles they may serve, what community means to them, and what they’ve learned about what supports a vibrant, loving community of people.

ABOUT THIS WEEK’S BOOK: Acorn Was A Little Wild

Acorn is a little wild, and from his oak tree perch, he longs for adventure. When he’s the first of his friends to jump off the oak tree, he’s on his way into the wide world, full of new experiences that fill his little heart with excitement!

But when a squirrel buries Acorn deep underground, the thrill-seeking Acorn finds himself forced to stay still, in the darkness, for a long time. To turn this biggest setback into a wild adventure, Acorn may have to change from the inside out.
