MARINETTE, Wis. The Marinette County Public Libraries has begun the Read Woke Challenge for children, teens and adults of all ages.
The challenge invites people to read one book in each of 12 categories over the course of the year and complete related activities. Readers can register and participate online at marinettecountylibraries.beanstack.org/365.
What does it mean to Read Woke? According to the movement’s founder, librarian Cicely Lewis, “Read Woke is a movement. It is a feeling. It is a style. It is a form of education. It is a call to action. It means learning about others so that you can treat people with the respect and dignity that they deserve no matter their religion, race, creed, or color.”
