Great Cultural Activity — Davidson Reads
DavidsonReads is a town-wide program to get everyone reading and talking about the same book. It is a partnership between the Town of Davidson Parks & Recreation Department, the Davidson Public Library, Main Street Books, and town residents. The program asks people to read the same book at the same time and attend various events to discuss the characters, plots, and themes.
Readers and residents have selected The Color of Water by James McBride as the 2009 DavidsonReads book selection. This book is the September pick of our own neighborhood New Da Daytimers Book Club.
Reading is the key to the world! Expand your horizons!
