Longwood Gardens 2025 Community Reads

The Reading Public Library continues to be a proud partner of Longwood Gardens Community Read. Highlighting a different book each year for children and adults, we have explored topics from conservation to innovation, from birding to weird plants. Check out this year’s book selection and our upcoming discussions!
