JMRL invites all Central Virginians to read and discuss acclaimed poet and essayist Ross Gay’s THE BOOK OF DELIGHTS, the 2023 Same Page Community Read selection. Throughout March, JMRL presents Same Page programs and activities, and offers free copies of the book through Same Page kickoff events at library branches or while supplies last. The annual region-wide reading initiative provides opportunities for book groups, classrooms, and individuals to explore the themes of a single book by an author appearing at the Virginia Festival of the Book.
