Coronado residents are invited to participate in the annual Community READ initiative by submitting their book title suggestions for the 2026 event. The Coronado Public Library is now accepting recommendations for books that have inspired, entertained, or provoked thoughtful discussions among readers. Community members can make their suggestions until October 15, 2025, with the suggestion period officially running from October 1 to October 15, 2025.
The Community READ program is designed to foster a sense of unity among residents through the shared experience of reading a selected book each year. After the library receives a range of suggestions, a dedicated Coronado Community READ Selection Committee will review all nominations. This committee comprises library staff, community partners, and local book club members who will collectively sift through the suggestions to narrow them down from ten titles to five finalists.
In anticipation of this year’s selection, the library has provided specific criteria that will guide the nomination process, encouraging residents to reflect on their reading experiences when making suggestions. Participants can submit their recommendations via a survey provided during the open suggestion period.
Once a book is selected, the Coronado Public Library will host a variety of community events that align with the themes and discussions prompted by the book. These events aim not only to promote literacy but also to engage residents of all ages in meaningful conversations inspired by the reading material.
Background details reveal that the Community READ program has been a beloved tradition within the Coronado community for several years. It aims to bring people together, promote reading, and facilitate discussions on varied topics that resonate with the community’s ethos. By encouraging residents to actively participate in the suggestion process, the library hopes to ensure that the selected book reflects the interests and experiences of the community members.
This initiative by the Coronado Public Library exemplifies its commitment to enhancing community engagement through shared literacy experiences. By inviting everyone to contribute their thoughts on literary works that have touched their lives, the library is fostering a collaborative spirit in selecting a book that not only entertains but also inspires critical thinking among readers.
Community members are encouraged to take part in this opportunity to shape the future of the Community READ by submitting their suggestions, sharing their love for literature, and connecting with fellow residents. The library’s focus on community involvement underscores its ongoing mission to be a hub for learning, discovery, and conversation.
As the deadline approaches, potential participants should consider what books have left a lasting impression on them and submit their nominations timely. This collaborative effort will play a crucial role in making the 2026 Community READ a reflective and engaging experience for all involved.
