Libraries across Livingston County kicked off a program this week that aims to create community through reading.
The 17th Annual Livingston Reads program is running now through April 30th. This yearâs book is âThe Book Woman of Troublesome Creek,â by Kim Michele Richardson. This best-selling novel is inspired by the true and historical blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the Kentucky Pack Horse library service. The story is one of how the written word affects people and one womanâs belief that books can take people everywhere- even home, shared through themes of hope, heartbreak, courage and strength.
