From storytimes to book discussions, we hope you'll look for ways to share these books with children and teens in Wisconsin.


The new Read On Wisconsin web site is still under development. Among the site's features will be an exchange forum for librarians and teachers to talk about ways they are using the Read On Wisconsin program and books.


In the meantime, you can find the complete list of book selections, and discussion questions for each title, on the temporary site at:  http://readon.education.wisc.edu/
