Welcome to the Community Reading Project!

The College of Interdisciplinary Studies, the Library, and the University Books Store are excited to invite you to participate in the Community Reading Project (CRP).  All members of the Grand Valley State University community are invited to participate in this University-wide endeavor.

CRP distributes over two hundred copies of the selected text each year to the GVSU community.  The distribution is meant to enourage community members to read and discuss the book.  CRP provides venues for discussions, among other activities.

Throughout the academic year, there will be discussion groups, speakers, films, panel discussions and a myriad of other events focusing on the themes found in the community read.  Please continue to check this site frequently for resources to enhance your reading experience.

2008-2009 CRP Selection:

The Community Reading Project is pleased to announce the selection of the Fourth Annual Community Reading Book: A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, by Ishmael Beah.
