Weber Reads
What is Weber Reads?
The Weber Reads program was developed in 2008 with the goal of providing opportunities for community-wide reading, reflecting, and engagement in meaningful dialogue. The annual Weber Reads program provides opportunities for community-wide reading, reflecting, and engagement. Each year, texts or themes are selected that help illuminate experiences and beliefs while transcending group values to unite us as human beings. The American Library Association has three times chosen Weber Reads to receive its Community Reading Program “Best of Show” award. Weber Reads is funded in part by a generous donation from the Ralph Nye Charitable Foundation.
Weber Reads is now in its 19th year. Sponsored jointly by the Weber County Commission and the Weber County Library System, Weber Reads encourages discovery, reflection, and engagement in meaningful dialogue around a yearly topic as we read books; listen to presentations; watch films; and, most importantly, talk and learn from one another.
2025 Theme: Extraordinary Earth
"The green earth, say you? That is a mighty matter of legend, though you tread it under the light of day!”
-J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
About the 2025 Theme
The planet we call Earth is a wondrous place that we may often take for granted. It is full of incredible beauty but also danger. It provides sustenance and stability, yet we are at its mercy when disaster strikes. The Weber County Library invites you to explore the multifaceted role the Earth plays in our lives every day. Join us as we peel back the layers of Earth’s soil to learn more about our planet’s past, its present, and its ongoing place in the universe. We invite all ages to participate in book discussions, film screenings, and interactive presentations that will thoughtfully explore the place we call home. All events are free and open to the public.
