Lift Your Read
Our mission at the Grandview Heights Public Library is to transform lives through knowledge, ideas, and experiences.
One great way to achieve this mission is by reading books that spotlight the diverse lives and experiences of people and groups who represent our communities, near and far.
With this in mind, we encourage you and our entire community to “Lift Your Read” by participating in an informal community read with us each month.
While we won’t all be reading the same book, we will all be reading on the same theme to shine light on a group, experience, challenge, setting, or other topic that might not have had our attention without a “lift” in that direction.
We hope you enjoy discovering new books and experiences with these monthly staff-curated booklists to help you Lift Your Read.
