Revolutionary Reads is an annual community reads program with the goal of galvanizing the SW Washington community to read the same book on a topic of revolutionary importance. Revolutionary is defined as “involving or causing a complete and dramatic change” and/or “radically new or innovative; outside or beyond established procedure, principles, etc.”
In partnership with the Foundation Washington, 2024’s program focuses on the challenge of reentry into society following incarceration. This program will explore the experiences of individuals reintegrating into community upon release.
Free copies of the book FREE: Two Years, Six Lives and the Long Journey Home by Lauren Kessler, will be available at all FVRLibraries locations in March 2024 (eBook also available on Overdrive). FREE won the 2023 Oregon Book Award for Nonfiction and the 2023 Nautilus Silver Award for Criminal Justice.
Foundation Washington’s mission is to restore and prepare. The Foundation Washington is the stepping stones the youth can use to rise into their greatness and the landing zone reintegrating individuals can lean on upon release.
