Northville District Library

Community Reads

The Neighborhood Library Association (NLA) is a group of five area libraries in a collaborative partnership. The goal is to bring members of their communities together to read and discuss the same book in an annual Community Read. These five libraries also encourage community members to come together for events and programs related to that year's selected book. The five libraries composing the NLA are: Lyon Township Public Library, Northville District Library, Novi Public Library, Salem-South Lyon District Library and Wixom Public Library.

2011 Community Reads

The 2011 Community Reads book selection is The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein, award-winning author and documentary film maker. This heart-wrenching love story and moving tale of redemption is narrated in the opinionated and insightful voice of an extraordinary dog, Enzo. He provides a captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life as he tells his tale of friendship with his best friend and owner, Denny, an aspiring race car driver. The 2011 Community Reads runs from August 11 - November 10, 2011. Copies of the book are available now at all five NLA libraries.

A complete list of book discussions and programs related to the book can be found in the 2011 Community Reads brochure, or at the Neighborhood Library Association's website, www.mynla.info.
